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.”Isaiah 28:16

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,”Psalm 118:22

8 and,

“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.

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.
