1 Peter 2:6-8
American Standard Version
1 Peter 2:6-8
American Standard Version
6 Because it is contained in [a]scripture,
[b]Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, [c]precious:
And he that believeth on [d]him shall not be put to shame.
7 [e]For you therefore that believe is the [f]preciousness: but for such as disbelieve,
[g]The stone which the builders rejected,
The same was made the head of the corner;
8 and,
[h]A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence;
[i]for they [j]stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were 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)
