1 Peter 2:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 For 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,
8 and,
“(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.

1 Peter 2:6-8
New International Version
6 For in Scripture it says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,
a chosen and precious cornerstone,(A)
and the one who trusts in him
will never be put to shame.”[a](B)
7 Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,(C)
8 and,
They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.(G)
