    “a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.”
    For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
  2. 9But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
  3. 10In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
  4. 11Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
  5. 12having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.
