1 Peter 2:6-8

World English Bible

⁶Because 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.”Isaiah 28:16

⁷For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient,

“The stone which the builders rejected
has become the chief cornerstone,”Psalm 118:22

⁸and,

“a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.”Isaiah 8:14

For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.

2:6 “Behold”, from “הִנֵּה” or “ἰδοὺ”, means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection.

1 Peter 2:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶This 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]

⁷Therefore 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]
⁸a 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.
