1 Peter 2:6-8
Revised Standard Version
6 For it stands in scripture:
“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious,
and he who believes in him will not be put to shame.”
7 To you therefore who believe, he is precious, but for those who do not believe,
“The very stone which the builders rejected
has become the head of the corner,”
8 and
“A stone that will make men stumble,
a rock that will make them fall”;
for they stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.

1 Peter 2:6-8
American Standard Version
6 Because it is contained in [a]scripture,
[b]Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, [c]precious:
And he that believeth on [d]him shall not be put to shame.
7 [e]For you therefore that believe is the [f]preciousness: but for such as disbelieve,
[g]The stone which the builders rejected,
The same was made the head of the corner;
8 and,
[h]A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence;
[i]for they [j]stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
