1 Peter 2:4-8
New American Standard Bible 1995

As Living Stones

4 And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been (A)rejected by men, but is [a]choice and precious in the sight of God, 5 (B)you also, as living stones, [b]are being built up as a (C)spiritual house for a holy (D)priesthood, to (E)offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For this is contained in [c]Scripture:

“(F)Behold, I lay in Zion a choice stone, a (G)precious corner stone,
And he who believes in [d]Him will not be [e]disappointed.”

7 (H)This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve,

“(I)The stone which the builders (J)rejected,
This became the very corner stone,”

8 and,

“(K)A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense”;

(L)for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, (M)and to this doom they were also appointed.
