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.

1 Peter 2:6-8
English Standard Version
6 For 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.”
7 So the honor is for you who (C)believe, but for those who (D)do not believe,
8 and
(F)“A stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offense.”
They stumble because they disobey the word, (G)as they were destined to do.
