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.

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.
