"coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious."
— 1 Peter 2:4, World English Bible
“To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,”
“unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious, ”
“A Living Stone, a Chosen People So as you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but chosen and precious in God’s sight,”
“Unto whom coming, as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men but chosen and made honourable by God:”
“To whom you come, as to a living stone, not honoured by men, but of great and special value to God;”
“To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,”
Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,
as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby,
if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious:
coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.
You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
Because it is contained in Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen, and precious: He who believes in him will not be disappointed."
For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected, has become the chief cornerstone,"
