1 Peter 2:6-8
New Testament for Everyone
6 That’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.
7 He is indeed precious for you believers. But when people don’t believe, “the stone which the builders rejected has become the head cornerstone,” 8 and “a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They stumble as they disobey the word, which indeed was their destiny.

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)
