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
International Standard Version
6 This is why it says in Scripture:
“Look! I am laying a chosen, precious cornerstone[a] in Zion.
The one who believes in him will never be ashamed.”[b]
7 Therefore he is precious to you who believe, but to those who do not believe,
“The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone,[c]
8 a stone they stumble over
and a rock they trip on.”[d]
They keep on stumbling because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.
