But even in case you should suffer for

the sake of righteousness, you are blessed.

Do not be afraid of their threats, nor be

disturbed by their opposition.

But in your hearts set Christ apart as holy

and acknowledge Him as Lord.

Always be ready to give a logical defense

to anyone who asks you to account for

the hope that is in you, but do it courteously

and respectfully.

But now He has reconciled you

by Christ’s physical body through

death to present you holy in His

sight, without blemish and free

from accusation- if you continue

in your faith, established and

firm, not moved from the hope

of which I, Paul have become a servant.

Bless the Lord, O my soul,

- rejected by men but chosen by God

and precious to Him- you also, like

living stones, are being built into a spiritual

house to be a holy priesthood, offering

spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God

through Jesus Christ. For in Scripture it says:

“See, I lay a stone in Zion,

a chosen and precious cornerstone,

and the one who trusts in Him

will never be put to shame.”

Now to you who believe, this stone is precious.

But to those who do not believe,

“The stone the builders rejected has

become the capstone,”

“A stone that causes men to stumble

and a rock that makes them fall.”

They stumble because they disobey

the message- which is also what

they were destined for.

But you are a chosen people, a royal

priesthood, a holy nation, a people

belonging to God, that you may declare

the praises of Him Who called you

out of darkness into His wonderful light.

because I am holy.”
