5 G846 Ye G2532 also G5613 , as G2198 lively [G5723] G3037 stones G3618 , are built up [G5743] G4152 a spiritual G3624 house G40 , an holy G2406 priesthood G399 , to offer up [G5658] G4152 spiritual G2378 sacrifices G2144 , acceptable G2316 to God G1223 by G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

6 G1352 Wherefore G2532 also G4023 it is contained [G5719] G1722 in G1124 the scripture G2400 , Behold [G5628] G5087 , I lay [G5719] G1722 in G4622 Sion G204 a chief corner G3037 stone G1588 , elect G1784 , precious G2532 : and G4100 he that believeth [G5723] G1909 on G846 him G2617 shall G3364 not be G2617 confounded [G5686] .

7 G5213 Unto you G3767 therefore G3588 which G4100 believe [G5723] G5092 he is precious G1161 : but G544 unto them which be disobedient [G5723] G3037 , the stone G3739 which G3618 the builders [G5723] G593 disallowed [G5656] G3778 , the same G1096 is made [G5675] G1519 G2776 the head G1137 of the corner,

8 G2532 And G3037 a stone G4348 of stumbling G2532 , and G4073 a rock G4625 of offence G3739 , even to them which G4350 stumble [G5719] G3056 at the word G544 , being disobedient [G5723] G1519 : whereunto G3739 G2532 also G5087 they were appointed [G5681] .

9 G1161 But G5210 ye G1588 are a chosen G1085 generation G934 , a royal G2406 priesthood G40 , an holy G1484 nation G1519 , a peculiar G4047 G2992 people G3704 ; that G1804 ye should shew forth [G5661] G703 the praises G2564 of him who hath called [G5660] G5209 you G1537 out of G4655 darkness G1519 into G846 his G2298 marvellous G5457 light:

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. ⁶ Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame. ⁷ For you therefore which believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; ⁸ and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. ⁹ But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for [God’s] own possession, that ye may shew forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
