1 Peter 2:4-8
New King James Version
The Chosen Stone and His Chosen People(A)
4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, (B)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. 6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,
(C)“Behold, I lay in Zion
A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,
And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”
7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who [a]are disobedient,
(D)“The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone,”
8 and
(E)“A stone of stumbling
And a rock of offense.”
(F)They stumble, being disobedient to the word, (G)to which they also were appointed.
