1 Peter 2:6-8
English Standard Version
6 For it stands in Scripture:
(A)“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
a cornerstone chosen and precious,
(B)and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
7 So the honor is for you who (C)believe, but for those who (D)do not believe,
8 and
(F)“A stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offense.”
They stumble because they disobey the word, (G)as they were destined to do.

1 Peter 2:6-8
Common English Bible
6 Thus it is written in scripture, Look! I am laying a cornerstone in Zion, chosen, valuable. The person who believes in him will never be shamed.[a] 7 So God honors you who believe. For those who refuse to believe, though, the stone the builders tossed aside has become the capstone. 8 This is a stone that makes people stumble and a rock that makes them fall. Because they refuse to believe in the word, they stumble. Indeed, this is the end to which they were appointed.
