1 Peter 2:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 For this is contained in [a]Scripture:
“(A)Behold, I am laying in Zion a choice stone, a (B)precious cornerstone,
And the one who believes in [b]Him will not be [c]put to shame.”
7 (C)This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for unbelievers,
8 and,
“(F)A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense”;
(G)for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, (H)and to this 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.
