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,

(E)“The stone that the builders rejected
    has become the cornerstone,”[a]

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
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.
