1 Peter 2:7

A Living Stone, A Chosen People

⁶ wherefore it is said in the scripture, I lay in Sion the principal stone of the angle, a choice one of great value: he that ⁷ trusts thereon shall not be confounded. it will prove an honour to you, who believe; but to the incredulous, the same stone, which is the chief of the angle, ⁸ and which the architects rejected, will be an occasion to the incredulous of their stumbling, and bruising themselves thereby:

Put on
