1 Peter 2:4-5

4And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been 1rejected by men, but is 2choice and precious in the sight of God,

5 3you also, as living stones, 4are being built up as a 5spiritual house for a holy 6priesthood, to 7offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
