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.
6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,
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,
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 who1 are disobedient,
a“The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone,”
a“The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone,”
8 and
a“A stone of stumbling
And a rock of offense.” bThey stumble, being disobedient to the word, cto which they also were appointed.
