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,

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

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.

1 Peter 2:6-8
New American Standard Bible

6 For this is contained in [a]Scripture:

“(A)Behold, I am laying in Zion a choice stone, a (B)precious cornerstone,
And the one who believes in [b]Him will not be [c]put to shame.”

7 (C)This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for unbelievers,

“(D)A stone which the builders (E)rejected,
This became the [d]chief cornerstone,”

8 and,

“(F)A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense”;

(G)for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, (H)and to this they were also appointed.

1 Peter 2:6-8
New International Version

6 For 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)

7 Now 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)

8 and,

“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)
