60:001:017 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: 60:001:018 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 60:001:019 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 60:001:020 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 60:001:021 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. 60:001:022 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 60:001:023 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 60:001:024 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 60:001:025 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. 60:002:001 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings, 60:002:002 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 60:002:003 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 60:002:004 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 60:002:005 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 60:002:006 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 60:002:007 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 60:002:008 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 60:002:009 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
