A Living Stone
      Laying  aside  all  malice,  and  all  guile,  and
      hypocrisies, and envy, and all evil speaking, as
      newborns, desire the sincere milk of the

      word  that  you  may  grow:  if  you  have

      tasted  that  the  Lord  is  gracious.  To  whom

      coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed
      of men, but chosen of God, and precious; you
      also,  as  lively  stones,  are  built  up  a  spiritual
      house,  a  holy  priesthood,  to  offer  up  spiritual
      sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.


      Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture,
      Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone,

      elect,  and  precious:  and  they  that  believe  on
      him shall not be confounded. Unto you which
      believe he  is  precious: but  to them  which are
      disobedient, the stone which the builders

      disallowed, is made the head of the corner,
      and  a  stone  of stumbling,  and a  rock of

      offence, to them which stumble at the word,
      being disobedient: as also they were appointed.
