1 Peter 2:4
A Living Stone, a Chosen People
2:4 So as you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but chosen and priceless in God’s sight,
1 Peter 2:6-8
2:6 For it says
in scripture, “
Look, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and priceless cornerstone, and whoever believes in him will never be put to shame.”
2:7 So you who believe see
his value,
but for those who do not believe,
the stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,
2:8 and
a stumbling-stone and a rock to trip over. They stumble
because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.
