1 Peter 2:4

A Living Stone, A Chosen People

³ If you have had a taste of the grace of the Lord: ⁴ To whom you come, as to a living stone, not honoured by men, but of great and special value to God; ⁵ You, as living stones, are being made into a house of the spirit, a holy order of priests, making those offerings of the spirit which are pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.
