The Chosen Stone and His Chosen People
4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, arejected 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.

a“Behold, I lay in Zion
A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,
And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”
a“Behold, I lay in Zion
A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,
