For it stands in Scripture: See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and honored cornerstone, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame. , So honor will come to you who believe; but for the unbelieving, The stone that the builders rejected — this one has become the cornerstone, , and A stone to stumble over, and a rock to trip over. , They stumble because they disobey the word; they were destined for this. But you are a chosen race, , , a royal priesthood, , a holy nation, , a people for his possession, , so that you may proclaim the praises , , of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
