come to him then ??come to that living Stone which men have rejected and God holds choice and precious,

Wherefore also it holds in the writing, Behold, I place in Zion a corner stone, chosen, highly valued: and he believing on him shall not be ashamed.

Now you believe, you hold him 'precious,' but as for the unbelieving ??the very stone the builders rejected is now the cornerstone,

For such is the will of God, that by well doing ye hold under restraint the ignorance of foolish men:

Unto all men, give honour, unto the brotherhood, shew love, unto God, give reverence, the king, hold in honour.

Hold fast a good conscience, that, whereas they speak against you as evil doers, they may be put to shame who arraign your good behavior in Christ.

who shall give an account to him, who holds himself ready to judge the living and the dead.

Above all, hold unfailing your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.
