Come to him, a living stone, though rejected by mortals yet chosen and precious in God’s sight, and like living stones let yourselves be built[a] into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.(A) For it stands in scripture:

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

This honor, then, is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe,[b]

10 And it is by God’s will[a] that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.(A)

11 And every priest stands day after day at his service, offering again and again the same sacrifices that can never take away sins.(B) 12 But when Christ[b] had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, “he sat down at the right hand of God,” 13 and since then has been waiting “until his enemies would be made a footstool for his feet.”(C) 14 For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. 15 And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,

16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them
    after those days, says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their hearts,
    and I will write them on their minds,”(D)

17 and he adds,

“I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”
