1 Peter 2:6-8
21st Century King James Version
6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture: “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious; and he that believeth in Him shall not be confounded.”
7 Unto you therefore who believe, He is precious; but unto those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,”
8 and, “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense,” even to those who stumble at the Word, being disobedient, unto which also they were appointed.

[b]Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, [c]precious:
And he that believeth on [d]him shall not be put to shame.
