1 Peter 2:5

A Living Stone, A Chosen People

⁴ to whom you are drawing near, a living stone rejected by men but chosen [and] precious in the sight of God. ⁵ And [you] yourselves, as living stones, are being built up [as] a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. ⁶ For it stands in scripture, "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a chosen [and] precious cornerstone, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame."
