Coming to Him, a living stone—rejected by men but chosen and valuable to God— you yourselves, as living stones, are being built into a spiritual house for a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God(A) through Jesus Christ. For it is contained in Scripture:

Look! I lay a stone in Zion,(B)
a chosen and honored[a] cornerstone,[b](C)
and the one who believes in Him
will never be put to shame![c](D)[d]

The stone that the builders rejected—
this One has become the cornerstone,(E)[e]
