1 Peter 2:3-5

New King James Version

³ if indeed you have ^(A)tasted that the Lord is gracious.

The Chosen Stone and His Chosen People^(B)

⁴ Coming to Him as to a living stone, ^(C)rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, ⁵ you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
