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,

The stone that the builders rejected—
this one has become the cornerstone,[c](D)

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.

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.
