1 Peter 2:6-8

New Testament for Everyone

⁶That’s why it stands in scripture:

Look! I’m setting up in Zion
a chosen, precious cornerstone;
believe in him! You’ll not be ashamed.

⁷He is indeed precious for you believers. But when people don’t believe, “the stone which the builders rejected has become the head cornerstone,” ⁸and “a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They stumble as they disobey the word, which indeed was their destiny.
