ISV(i)
4 As you come to him, the living stone who was rejected by people but was chosen and precious in God’s sight,
5 you, too, as living stones, are building yourselves up into a spiritual house and a holy priesthood, so that you may offer spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God through Jesus, the Messiah.
6 This is why it says in Scripture: “Look! I am laying a chosen, precious cornerstone in Zion. The one who believes in him will never be ashamed.”
7 Therefore he is precious to you who believe, but to those who do not believe, “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,
8 a stone they stumble over and a rock they trip on.”They keep on stumbling because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.
