1 Peter 2:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶This 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]

⁷Therefore 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]
⁸a 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.

1 Peter 2:6-8

New International Version

⁶For 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)

⁷Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,^(C)

“The stone the builders rejected^(D)
has become the cornerstone,”^[b]^(E)

⁸and,

“A stone that causes people to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall.”^[c]^(F)

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