1 Peter 2:3-5

Lexham English Bible

³ if you have tasted that the Lord is kind,^{[a] 4} to whom you are drawing near, a living stone rejected by men but chosen and precious in the sight of God. ⁵ And you yourselves, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
