4unto whomG3739 comingG4334, a livingG2198 stoneG3037, rejectedG593 indeedG3303 ofG2316 menG444, butG1161 withG4314 GodG2316 electG1588, preciousG1784,

5ye alsoG2532, asG5613 livingG2198 stonesG3037, are builtG3618 upG399 a spiritualG4152 houseG3624, toG1519 beG2532 a holyG40 priesthoodG2406, toG1519 offerG399 upG399 spiritualG4152 sacrificesG2378, acceptableG2144 toG1519 GodG2316 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.

6BecauseG1360 itG846 is containedG4023 inG1722 scriptureG1124, BeholdG2400, IG2532 layG5087 inG1722 ZionG4622 a chief cornerG204 stoneG3037, electG1588, preciousG1784: AndG2532 heG2532 thatG4100 believeth onG1909 himG846 shallG2532 notG3756 beG2532 putG5087 toG1909 shameG2617.
