Didymus the Blind, on 1Pet 2:4

“Unto whom coming, as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen and made honourable by God:”

“Those who have accepted the gospel and who have been born again of incorruptible seed are an elect and approved race. At the same time they have been made living stones, built on top of the living Stone, who is chosen and honored, the foundation of the apostles and the prophets, in order to build a spiritual house for God toward whom they are being led and to whom spiritual sacrifices are offered.”
