1 Peter 2:5

A Living Stone, A Chosen People

⁴ Unto whom coming near, as unto a living stone - by men, indeed, rejected, but, with God, chosen, held in honour, ⁵ Yourselves also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, for a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices, well-pleasing unto God through Jesus Christ; ⁶ Inasmuch as it is contained in scripture - Lo! I lay in Zion an outmost corner stone, chosen, held in honour, and, he that resteth faith thereupon, shall not be put to shame.
