1 Peter 2:6-8
New International Version - UK
6 For in Scripture it says:
‘See, I lay a stone in Zion,
a chosen and precious cornerstone,
and the one who trusts in him
will never be put to shame.’[a]
7 Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,
‘The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone,’[b]
8 and,
‘A stone that causes people to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall.’[c]
They stumble because they disobey the message – which is also what they were destined for.
