1 Peter 2

Peter calls believers newborn babes who should desire the word, living stones built into a spiritual house around Christ the chief cornerstone, and a chosen generation and royal priesthood meant to show God’s praises. As strangers and pilgrims they should abstain from fleshly lusts, live honestly among Gentiles, submit to human authorities, and follow Christ’s example when suffering wrongfully.
