A Living Stone
Lay aside all malice, and all guile, and
hypocrisies, and envies, 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 Sion a chief corner stone,
elect, and precious: and he that believes on him
shall not be confounded. Unto you which
believe he is precious: but unto 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.
