3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 4 Come to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious. 5 You also as living stones are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 Because it is contained in Scripture,
"Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious.
He who believes in him will not be disappointed."
7 For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient,
"The stone which the builders rejected
has become the chief cornerstone,"
8 and,
"a stumbling stone and a rock of offense."
For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed. 9 But 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. 10 In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,

3 因为你们已经体验过主是美善的。 4 主是活石， 虽然被人弃绝， 却是 神所拣选所珍贵的； 你们到他面前来， 5 也就像活石， 被建造成为灵宫， 作圣洁的祭司， 借着耶稣基督献上蒙 神悦纳的灵祭。 6 因为经上记着： "看哪， 我在锡安放了一块石头， 就是所拣选所珍贵的房角石， 信靠他的人， 必不致失望。" 7 所以这石头， 对你们信的人是宝贵的， 但对那不信的人， 却是"建筑工人所弃的石头， 成了房角的主要石头。" 8 它又"作了绊脚的石头， 使人跌倒的磐石。"他们跌倒是因为不顺从这道， 他们这样是必然的。 9 然而你们是蒙拣选的族类， 是君尊的祭司， 是圣洁的国民， 是属 神的子民， 为要叫你们宣扬那召你们出黑暗入奇妙光明者的美德。 10 "你们从前不是子民， 现在却是 神的子民； 从前未蒙怜恤， 现在却蒙了怜恤。" 11 亲爱的， 我劝你们作客旅和寄居的人， 要禁戒肉体的私欲， 这私欲是与灵魂争战的。
