Literal Version

2:4 The vital building-stone and the believers

4 As you chosen people approach the living building-stone (which was rejected by humans yet chosen and honoured by God), 5 you’re being built into a temple and joining a holy group of priests to offer up spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God through Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) the messiah, 6 because it’s written in the scriptures:

‘Look, I’m placing a building-stone in Tsiyon (Zion),

the vital cornerstone that’s chosen and honoured,

and anyone who believes in him certainly won’t be disgraced.’[ref]

7 To all of you who believe, this cornerstone is valuable, but to those who don’t believe:

‘The building-stone which the builders rejected

ended up becoming the vital cornerstone.’[ref]

8 and he’ll be:

‘A stone that people stumble over

and a rock that upsets people.’[ref]

They stumble because they won’t believe in the message—that is what was appointed for them.

9 But you believers are a chosen tribe, a group of royal priests, a holy nation,[ref] a people group that God has procured,[ref] so that you can tell others about the virtues of the one[ref] who called you out of darkness and into his marvellous light.[ref] 10 Previously you weren’t a people group, but now you’re God’s people—previously you hadn’t been shown mercy, but now you have been.[ref]

2:6: Isa 28:16 (LXX).

2:7: Psa 118:22.

2:8: Isa 8:14-15.

2:9: Exo 19:5-6; Isa 43:20 (LXX).

2:9: Exo 19:5; Deu 4:20; 7:6; 14:2; Tit 2:14.

2:9: Isa 43:21.

2:10: Hos 2:23.

4 To whom approaching a_ living _stone, on _one _hand having _been _rejected by humans, on _the _other _hand chosen by god, honoured,

5 also yourselves as living stones you _all _are _being _built, a_ spiritual _house, into a_ holy _priesthood to _offer _up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to_god through Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen _one /messiah.

6 Because it _is _contained in in _scripture:
Behold, I _am _laying a_stone in Siōn/(Tsiyyōn), a_cornerstone chosen honoured, and the one believing in him, by _no _means may_ not _be _disgraced.

7 Therefore is the value to _you _all, the ones believing, but to _disbelieving ones The_stone which the ones building rejected, this was _become to the_head of_the_corner,

8 and:
A_stone of _stumbling, and a_rock of _offense, who are _stumbling disbelieving in _the message, to which also they _were _appointed.

9 But you _all are a_ chosen _race:
a_royal priesthood, a_ holy _nation, a_people for his_procuring, so _that the virtues you _all _may _proclaim _out, of _the one having _called you _all out _of darkness, to the marvellous light of _him,

10 who once were not a_people, but now are the_people of_god, the ones not having _been _shown _mercy, and now having _been _shown _mercy.
