1 Peter 2:5-7
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
5 you yourselves also as living stones are being built[a] as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 Because it is contained in Scripture: “Behold, I am laying a Stone in Zion— a chosen, precious Cornerstone. And the one putting-faith upon Him will never be put-to-shame” [Isa 28:16]. 7 The precious-value then is for you, the ones believing. But for ones not-believing: “The Stone which the ones building rejected, this became the head[b] of the corner” [Ps 118:22]

5 you also, like living stones, are being built(A) into a spiritual house[a](B) to be a holy priesthood,(C) offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.(D) 6 For in Scripture it says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,
a chosen and precious cornerstone,(E)
and the one who trusts in him
will never be put to shame.”[b](F)
7 Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,(G)
