1 Peter 2:6 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Peter 2:6

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.”

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,”

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.

9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of ^adarkness into His marvelous light;

10 ^awho once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
