1 Peter 2:3-8
English Standard Version
3 if indeed you have (A)tasted that the Lord is good.
4 As you come to him, a living stone (B)rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 (C)you yourselves like living stones are being built up as (D)a spiritual house, to be (E)a holy priesthood, (F)to offer spiritual sacrifices (G)acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For it stands in Scripture:
(H)“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
a cornerstone chosen and precious,
(I)and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
7 So the honor is for you who (J)believe, but for those who (K)do not believe,
8 and
(M)“A stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offense.”
They stumble because they disobey the word, (N)as they were destined to do.
