1 Peter 2:6-8

New Living Translation

⁶As 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]

⁷Yes, 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]

⁸And,

“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

New American Standard Bible

⁶For 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,

“^(D)A stone which the builders ^(E)rejected,
This became the ^[d]chief cornerstone,”

⁸and,

“^(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.
