1 Peter 2:4-8
The Living Stone and a Chosen People
4 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him— 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For in Scripture it says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.†7 Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone,†8 and, “A stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall.†They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for. (1 Peter 2:4-8)
