Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,

(A)“Behold, I lay in Zion
A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,
And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”

Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who [a]are disobedient,

(B)“The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone,”

and

(C)“A stone of stumbling
And a rock of offense.”

(D)They stumble, being disobedient to the word, (E)to which they also were appointed.

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of (F)darkness into His marvelous light; 10 (G)who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
