1 Peter 2:8 in Context — 1 Peter 2

6 Car il est dit dans l’Écriture: Voici, je mets en Sion une pierre angulaire, choisie, précieuse; et celui qui croit en elle ne sera point confus.

7 L’honneur est donc pour vous, qui croyez. Mais, pour les incrédules, La pierre qu’ont rejetée ceux qui bâtissaient Est devenue la principale de l’angle, Et une pierre d’achoppement Et un rocher de scandale;

8 ils s’y heurtent pour n’avoir pas cru à la parole, et c’est à cela qu’ils sont destinés.

9 Vous, au contraire, vous êtes une race élue, un sacerdoce royal, une nation sainte, un peuple acquis, afin que vous annonciez les vertus de celui qui vous a appelés des ténèbres à son admirable lumière,

10 vous qui autrefois n’étiez pas un peuple, et qui maintenant êtes le peuple de Dieu, vous qui n’aviez pas obtenu miséricorde, et qui maintenant avez obtenu miséricorde.
