1 Peter 2:6-8

English Standard Version

⁶For 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.”

⁷So 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]

⁸and

^(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

International Standard Version

⁶This 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]

⁷Therefore 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]
⁸a 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.
