1 Peter 2:6-8
Christian Standard Bible

6 For it stands in Scripture:

See, I lay a stone in Zion,(A)
a chosen and honored[a] cornerstone,(B)
and the one who believes in him
will never be put to shame.[b](C)

7 So honor will come to you who believe; but for the unbelieving,

8 and

A stone to stumble over,
and a rock to trip over.[d](E)

They stumble because they disobey the word; they were destined(F) for this.
