1 Peter 2:6-8
New International Version

6 For in Scripture it says:

“See, I lay a stone in Zion,
    a chosen and precious cornerstone,(A)
and the one who trusts in him
    will never be put to shame.”[a](B)

7 Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,(C)

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

8 and,

“A stone that causes people to stumble
    and a rock that makes them fall.”[c](F)

They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.(G)

1 Peter 2:6-8
New Living Translation

6 As the Scriptures say,

“I am placing a cornerstone in Jerusalem,[a]
    chosen for great honor,
and anyone who trusts in him
    will never be disgraced.”[b]

7 Yes, you who trust him recognize the honor God has given him.[c] But for those who reject him,

“The stone that the builders rejected
    has now become the cornerstone.”[d]

8 And,

“He is the stone that makes people stumble,
    the rock that makes them fall.”[e]

They stumble because they do not obey God’s word, and so they meet the fate that was planned for them.
