A stone is dead. It’s not a living entity. It stays still.It stays, unless someone will move it.
How ’bout if the stone would be alive?
1 Peter 2:2-9 says:
Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house[a] to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. —
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
A life can be seen as an opposite to dead/immovable entity. In Greek language this word is ζαω [zaoo], see more here: http://biblehub.com/greek/2198.htm
