Berean Standard Bible
1 Peter 2:5-9
5you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6For it stands in Scripture:
“See, I lay in Zion a stone,a chosen and precious cornerstone;and the one who believes in Himwill never be put to shame.”1
7To you who believe, then, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,
“The stone the builders rejectedhas become the cornerstone,”2
8and,
“A stone of stumblingand a rock of offense.”3
They stumble because they disobey the word—and to this they were appointed.
9But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
