1 Peter 2:5

A Living Stone, A Chosen People

⁴ to whom coming -- a living stone -- by men, indeed, having been disapproved of, but with God choice, precious, ⁵ and ye yourselves, as living stones, are built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. ⁶ Wherefore, also, it is contained in the Writing: 'Lo, I lay in Zion a chief corner-stone, choice, precious, and he who is believing on him may not be put to shame;'
