1 Peter 2:6-8
World English Bible
6 Because it is contained in Scripture,
“Behold,[a] I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious:
He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”
7 For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient,
“The stone which the builders rejected
has become the chief cornerstone,”
8 and,
“a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.”
For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.

6 For it stands in scripture:
“See, I am laying in Zion a stone,
a cornerstone chosen and precious,
and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”(A)
7 This honor, then, is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe,[a]
“The stone that the builders rejected
has become the very head of the corner,”(B)
8 and
“A stone that makes them stumble
and a rock that makes them fall.”
They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.(C)

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