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

4 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious,

4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

4 You are coming to Christ, who is the living cornerstone of God’s temple. He was rejected by people, but he was chosen by God for great honor.

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

4 Come to the Lord Jesus, the “stone” that lives. The people of the world did not want this stone, but he was the stone God chose, and he was precious.

4 unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious,

4 To whom coming, a living stone, cast away indeed as worthless by men, but with God chosen, precious,

4 You are coming to Christ, the living stone who was rejected by humans but was chosen as precious by God.

4 Coming to Him, a living stone—rejected by men but chosen and valuable to God—

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

4 to whom you are drawing near, a living stone rejected by men but chosen and precious in the sight of God.

4 Christ is the living Stone. People did not accept him. But God chose him. God places the highest value on him.
