1 Peter 2:5-10
Legacy Standard Bible

5 (A)you also, as living stones, [a]are being built up as a (B)spiritual house for a holy (C)priesthood, to (D)offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For this is contained in [b]Scripture:

“(E)Behold, I lay in Zion a choice stone, a (F)precious corner stone,
And he who believes upon [c]Him will not be put to shame.”

7 (G)This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve,

“(H)The stone which the builders (I)rejected,
This has become the chief corner stone,”

8 and,

“(J)A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.”

(K)They stumble because they are disobedient to the word, (L)and to this stumbling they were also appointed.

9 But you are (M)a chosen family, a royal (N)priesthood, a (O)holy nation, (P)a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you (Q)out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 (R)for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
