1 Peter 2:6-8

English Standard Version

⁶For it stands in Scripture:

^(A)“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
a cornerstone chosen and precious,
^(B)and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”

⁷So the honor is for you who ^(C)believe, but for those who ^(D)do not believe,

^(E)“The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone,”^[a]

⁸and

^(F)“A stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offense.”

They stumble because they disobey the word, ^(G)as they were destined to do.

1 Peter 2:6-8

New International Version

⁶For in Scripture it says:

“See, I lay a stone in Zion,
a chosen and precious cornerstone,^(A)
and the one who trusts in him
will never be put to shame.”^[a]^(B)

⁷Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,^(C)

“The stone the builders rejected^(D)
has become the cornerstone,”^[b]^(E)

⁸and,

“A stone that causes people to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall.”^[c]^(F)

They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.^(G)
