In context

4As you come to Him, the living stone, rejected by men but chosen and precious in God’s sight,

5You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

6For it stands in Scripture: “See, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and precious cornerstone; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”

7To you who believe, then, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,”

8And, “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word—and to this they were appointed.
