rsv 1Peter:2:4-8
rsv@1Peter:2:4 @ Come to him, to that living stone, rejected by men but in God's sight chosen and precious;
rsv@1Peter:2:5 @ and like living stones be yourselves built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
rsv@1Peter:2:6 @ For it stands in scripture: "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and he who believes in him will not be put to shame."
rsv@1Peter:2:7 @ To you therefore who believe, he is precious, but for those who do not believe, "The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner,"
rsv@1Peter:2:8 @ and "A stone that will make men stumble, a rock that will make them fall"; for they stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.
