The Living Stone and a Chosen People

As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him—

1 Peter 2:9

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

1 Peter 2:15

For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people.

1 Peter 3:9

Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
