1 Peter 2:6-8
Good News Translation
6 (A)For the scripture says,
“I chose a valuable stone,
which I am placing as the cornerstone in Zion;
and whoever believes in him will never be disappointed.”
7 (B)This stone is of great value for you that believe; but for those who do not believe:
“The stone which the builders rejected as worthless
turned out to be the most important of all.”
8 (C)And another scripture says,
“This is the stone that will make people stumble,
the rock that will make them fall.”
They stumbled because they did not believe in the word; such was God's will for them.

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)

8 and,
They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.(G)
