Pakurirana nevamwe

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light

who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby

Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.

you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking

Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious

as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God.

For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men
