1 Peter 2:6-8
New Living Translation
6 As the Scriptures say,
“I am placing a cornerstone in Jerusalem,[a]
chosen for great honor,
and anyone who trusts in him
will never be disgraced.”[b]
7 Yes, you who trust him recognize the honor God has given him.[c] But for those who reject him,
“The stone that the builders rejected
has now become the cornerstone.”[d]
8 And,
“He is the stone that makes people stumble,
the rock that makes them fall.”[e]
They stumble because they do not obey God’s word, and so they meet the fate that was planned for them.

New King James Version
6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,
(A)“Behold, I lay in Zion
A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,
And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”
7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who [a]are disobedient,
(B)“The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone,”
8 and
(C)“A stone of stumbling
And a rock of offense.”
(D)They stumble, being disobedient to the word, (E)to which they also were appointed.
