1 Peter 2:4-9

4unto whom comingG4334, a livingG2198 stoneG3037, rejectedG593 indeedG3303 of menG444, but with GodG2316 electG1588, preciousG1784, 5ye alsoG2532, as livingG2198 stonesG3037, are builtG3618 up a spiritualG4152 houseG3624, to be a holyG40 priesthoodG2406, to offerG399 up spiritualG4152 sacrificesG2378, acceptableG2144 to GodG2316 through JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 6Because it is contained in scriptureG1124,

BeholdG2400, I lay in ZionG4622 a chief corner stoneG3037, electG1588, preciousG1784:And he that believeth on him shall not be putG5087 to shameG2617.

7For you thereforeG3767 that believeG4100 is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve,

The stoneG3037 which the builders rejectedG593,The same was made the headG2776 of the cornerG1137;

8and,

A stoneG3037 of stumbling, and a rockG4073 of offence;

for they stumble at the wordG3056, being disobedientG544: whereunto alsoG2532 they were appointedG5087. 9But ye are an electG1588 raceG1085, a royal priesthoodG2406, a holyG40 nationG1484, a peopleG2992 for God’s own possessionG4047, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who calledG2564 you out of darknessG4655 into his marvellous lightG5457:
