1 Peter 2:6-8
World English Bible
6 Because it is contained in Scripture,
“Behold,[a] I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious:
He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”
7 For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient,
“The stone which the builders rejected
has become the chief cornerstone,”
8 and,
“a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.”
For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.

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.
