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.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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)
