So putting away all wrongdoing, and all tricks and deceits and envies and evil talk,

To whom you come, as to a living stone, not honoured by men, but of great and special value to God;

You, as living stones, are being made into a house of the spirit, a holy order of priests, making those offerings of the spirit which are pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.

Because it is said in the Writings, See, I am placing a keystone in Zion, of great and special value; and the man who has faith in him will not be put to shame.
