¥1Pet
2:5 (NIV) you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For in Scripture it says: "See, I lay a
stone in Zion, a chosen and precious
cornerstone, and the one who trusts in
him will never be put to shame." {[6] Isaiah 28:16} 7 Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, "The stone the
builders rejected has become the
capstone," {[7] Psalm 118:22} 8 and, "A
stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall." {[8] Isaiah 8:14} They
stumble because they disobey the message--which is also what they
were destined for.
