A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;

The Chosen Stone and His Chosen People(A)

Coming to Him as to a living stone, (B)rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 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. 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.”

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,”

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.

11 And every priest stands (C)ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 (D)But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down (E)at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting (F)till His enemies are made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being [b]sanctified.

15 But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,
