(A)you yourselves like living stones are being built up as (B)a spiritual house, to be (C)a holy priesthood, (D)to offer spiritual sacrifices (E)acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it stands in Scripture:

(F)“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
    a cornerstone chosen and precious,
(G)and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”

So the honor is for you who (H)believe, but for those who (I)do not believe,

(J)“The stone that the builders rejected
    has become the cornerstone,”[a]

and

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

They stumble because they disobey the word, (L)as they were destined to do.

But you are (M)a chosen race, (N)a royal (O)priesthood, (P)a holy nation, (Q)a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you (R)out of darkness into (S)his marvelous light.

you also, like living stones, are being built(A) into a spiritual house[a](B) to be a holy priesthood,(C) offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.(D) For in Scripture it says:

“See, I lay a stone in Zion,
    a chosen and precious cornerstone,(E)
and the one who trusts in him
    will never be put to shame.”[b](F)

Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,(G)

“The stone the builders rejected(H)
    has become the cornerstone,”[c](I)

and,

“A stone that causes people to stumble
    and a rock that makes them fall.”[d](J)

They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.(K)

But you are a chosen people,(L) a royal priesthood,(M) a holy nation,(N) God’s special possession,(O) that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.(P)
