1 Peter 2:5-10

Rotherham(i) 5 Yourselves also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, for a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices, well–pleasing unto God through Jesus Christ; 6 Inasmuch as it is contained in scripture––Lo! I lay in Zion an outmost corner stone, chosen, held in honour, and, he that resteth faith thereupon, shall not be put to shame. 7 Unto you, then, is the honour––[unto you] who believe; but, unto such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected,––The same, hath become head of the corner, 8 And a stone to strike against, and a rock to stumble over: Who stumble because, unto the word, they do not yield,––unto which also they have been appointed; 9 But, ye, are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for a peculiar treasure, that, the excellences, ye may tell forth, of him who, out of darkness, hath called you into his marvelous light:–– 10 Who, at one time, were a No–people, but, now, are a people of God,––who had not been enjoying mercy, but, now, have received mercy.
