1 Peter 2:5

A Living Stone, A Chosen People

⁴ To whom coming, a living stone, cast away indeed as worthless by men, but with God chosen, precious, ⁵ yourselves also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. ⁶ Because it is contained in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Zion a corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be put to shame.
