"Come to Him a living stone, rejected indeed by men but chosen and honored by God. Be you yourselves as living stones, built thereon into a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Hence Scripture says, "Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, chosen, precious; and he who believes in it shall not be put to shame."
