1 Peter 2:5

A Living Stone, A Chosen People

⁴ Come to Him, then, as to a living stone, rejected, indeed, by men, but in God's eyes choice and precious; ⁵ and, as living stones, form yourselves into a spiritual House, to be a consecrated Priesthood, for the offering of spiritual sacrifices that will be acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. ⁶ For there is a passage of Scripture that runs-- 'See, I am placing in Zion a choice and precious corner-stone; And he who believes in him shall have no cause for shame.'
