베드로전서 2장 4-5절

 주님께 나아오십시오. 그는 사람에게는 버림을 받으셨으나, 하나님께는 택하심을 받은 살아 있는 귀한 돌입니다. 살아 있는 돌과 같은 존재로서 여러분도 집 짓는 데 사용되어 신령한 집이 됩니다. 그래서 여러분은 예수 그리스도로 말미암아 하나님께서 기쁘게 받으실 신령한 제사를 드리는 거룩한 제사장이 되십니다._새번역성경 

 主は、人には 捨てられたが、神にとっては 選ばれた 尊い 生ける 石である。この 主のみもとにきて、あなたがたも、それぞれ 生ける 石となって、霊の 家に 築き 上げられ、聖なる 祭司となって、イエス · キリストにより、神によろこばれる 霊のいけにえを、ささげなさい。_口語訳

And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God,  you also, 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. _NASB 

Welcome to the living Stone, the source of life. The workmen took one look and threw it out; God set it in the place of honor. Present yourselves as building stones for the construction of a sanctuary vibrant with life, in which you’ll serve as holy priests offering Christ-approved lives up to God. The Scriptures provide precedent:_The Message
