1 Pet 2:6 - 10 (ESV) 6For it stands in Scripture:
“Behold, I am laying in Zion
a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious,
and
whoever believes in him
will not be put to shame.”
7So the honor is for you who believe,
but for those who do not believe,
“The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,”
8and
“A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.”
They stumble
because they disobey the word,
as they were destined to do.
9 But you are
a chosen race,
a royal priesthood,
a holy nation,
a people for his own possession,
that you
may proclaim the excellencies of him
who called you
out of darkness
into his marvelous light.
10Once you
were not a people,
but now you
are God’s people;
once you
had not received mercy,
but now you
have received mercy.
