1 Peter 2:6-8
International Standard Version
1 Peter 2:6-8
International Standard Version
6 This 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]
7 Therefore 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]
8 a 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.
