1 Peter 2:5-9

5 1you also, as living stones, 2are being built up as a 3spiritual house for a holy 4priesthood, to 5offer spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6For this is contained in 6Scripture: “7Behold, I am laying in Zion a choice stone, a 8precious cornerstone, And the one who believes in 9Him will not be 10put to shame.” 7 11This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for unbelievers, “12A stone which the builders 13rejected, This became the 14chief cornerstone,” 8and, “15A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense”; 16for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, 17and to this they were also appointed.

9But you are 18a chosen people, a royal 19priesthood, a 20holy nation, 21a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you 22out of darkness into His marvelous light;
