As you come to him, the living Stone--rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him--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.
the living Stone1 Peter 2:6-8 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." 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," and, "A stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall." They stumble because they disobey the message--which is also what they were destined for.
Matthew 21:42 Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the scriptures: 'The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.'?"
Mark 12:10-11 "Haven't you read this scripture: 'The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone; the Lord has done this and it is marvelous in our eyes.'?"
Luke 20:17 Jesus looked directly at them and asked, "Then what is the meaning of that which is written: 'The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone'?"
Acts 4:11 "He is 'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone.'"
Romans 9:33 As it is written: "See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble and rock that makes them fall, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
