1 Peter 2:6-8
Legacy Standard Bible
6 For this is contained in [a]Scripture:
“(A)Behold, I lay in Zion a choice stone, a (B)precious corner stone,
And he who believes upon [b]Him will not be put to shame.”
7 (C)This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve,
8 and,
“(F)A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.”
(G)They stumble because they are disobedient to the word, (H)and to this stumbling they were also appointed.

1 Peter 2:6-8
International Standard Version
6 This 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]
7 Therefore 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]
8 a 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.
