1 Peter 2:5-7

New Living Translation

⁵And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple. What’s more, you are his holy priests.^[a] Through the mediation of Jesus Christ, you offer spiritual sacrifices that please God. ⁶As the Scriptures say,

“I am placing a cornerstone in Jerusalem,^[b]
chosen for great honor,
and anyone who trusts in him
will never be disgraced.”^[c]

⁷Yes, you who trust him recognize the honor God has given him.^[d] But for those who reject him,

“The stone that the builders rejected
has now become the cornerstone.”^[e]
