Discovery Box1 Peter 2:5-6 
Context2:5 you yourselves, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood and to offer 1 spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 2:6 For it says 2 in scripture, “Look, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and priceless cornerstone, 3 and whoever believes 4 in him 5 will never 6 be put to shame.” 7
1 tn Grk “unto a holy priesthood to offer.”
2 tn Grk “it contains,” “it stands.”
3 tn Grk “chosen, priceless.”
4 tn Grk “the one who believes.”
5 tn Grk either “in him” or “in it,” but the OT and NT uses personify the stone as the King, the Messiah whom God will establish in Jerusalem.
6 tn The negative (οὐ μή, ou mh) is emphatic: “will certainly not.”
