1 Peter 2:4-8

4You are coming to Christ, the living stone who was rejected by humans but was chosen as precious by God.

5You come to him as living stones, a spiritual house that is being built into a holy priesthood. So offer spiritual sacrifices that God accepts through Jesus Christ.

6That is why Scripture says, “I am laying a chosen and precious cornerstone in Zion, and the person who believes in him will never be ashamed.”

7This honor belongs to those who believe. But to those who don’t believe: “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,

8a stone that people trip over, a large rock that people find offensive.” The people tripped over the word because they refused to believe it. Therefore, this is how they ended up.
