Bible Verse
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.”[a]
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 cornerstone,”[b]
8 and,“A stone that causes people to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall.”[c]
They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
