As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him—

Come to him, a living stone, though rejected by mortals yet chosen and precious in God’s sight, and

Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious,

So as you come to him, ¹  a living stone rejected by men but ²  chosen and priceless ³  in God’s sight,

¹ tn Grk “to whom coming…you are built up…” as a continuation of the reference to the Lord in v. 3.
