1 Peter 2:5-9

Sawyer(i) 5 do you also yourselves be built up living stones, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices well pleasing to God through Jesus Christ, 6 for it is said in the Scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious, and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed. 7 To you therefore who believe he is precious; but to the disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected has become the head of a corner 8 and a stone of stumbling and rock of offense, who stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed. 9 But you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, that you should declare the virtues of him who called you out of darkness into his glorious light;
