1 Peter 2:6 in Context — 1 Peter 2
4 Aproximai-vos dele, [que é] uma pedra viva, rejeitada pelos seres humanos, mas escolhida e preciosa para Deus.
5 Também vós, como pedras vivas, sois edificados como casa espiritual [e] sacerdócio santo, para oferecerdes sacrifícios espirituais, agradáveis a Deus por meio de Jesus Cristo.
6 Por isso também está contido na Escritura: Eis que eu ponho em Sião uma pedra principal de esquina, escolhida [e] preciosa. Quem nela crer de maneira nenhuma será envergonhado.
7 Assim, para vós, que credes, ela é preciosa. Mas para os rebeldes: A pedra que os construtores rejeitaram, essa se tornou a principal de esquina,
8 assim como pedra de tropeço, e pedra que causa queda. Eles tropeçam na palavra por serem rebeldes. Para isso eles foram destinados.
