Petro 2: 4-9

2:4 And approaching him as if he were a living stone, rejected by men, zvirokwazvo, but elect and honored by God,

2:5 be also yourselves like living stones, built upon him, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, so as to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

2:6 Nokuda kwaizvozvi, Scripture asserts: “Tarirai, I am setting in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious. And whoever will have believed in him will not be confounded.”

2:7 Naizvozvo, to you who believe, he is honor. But to those who do not believe, the stone which the builders have rejected, the same has been made into the head of the corner,

2:8 and a stone of offense, uye dombo rekunyadzisa, to those who are offended by the Word; neither do they believe, though they also have been built upon him.

2:9 But you are a chosen generation, uprista hwamambo, rudzi rutsvene, an acquired people, so that you may announce the virtues of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
