Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

Por lo cual también contiene la Escritura:

He aquí, pongo en Sion la principal piedra del ángulo, escogida, preciosa;

Y el que creyere en él, no será avergonzado.(A)

Para vosotros, pues, los que creéis, él es precioso; pero para los que no creen,

La piedra que los edificadores desecharon,

Ha venido a ser la cabeza del ángulo;(B)

y:

Piedra de tropiezo, y roca que hace caer,(C)

porque tropiezan en la palabra, siendo desobedientes; a lo cual fueron también destinados.

For also it is contained in the Scripture,

“Look! I lay in Zion
    a chief cornerstone, elect, precious,
and he who believes in Him
    shall never be put to shame.”[a]

Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious. But to those who are disobedient,

“The stone that the builders rejected
    has become the cornerstone,”[b]

and,

“A stone of stumbling,
    and a rock of offense.”[c]

They stumble because they are disobedient to the word, to which also they were appointed.
