4 coming unto whom (is the living Stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, [and] precious),5 ye also, as living stones, [are] built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, well pleasing to God by Jesus, the Christ.6 Therefore, also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion the chief corner stone, chosen, precious; and he that believes on him shall not be confounded.7 Unto you, therefore, who believe [he is] precious; but unto those who are disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,8 and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, [even to those] who stumble at the word, not obeying in that for which they were ordained.
