1 Peter 2:6-8

World English Bible

⁶Because it is contained in Scripture,

“Behold,^[a] I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious:
He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”Isaiah 28:16

⁷For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient,

“The stone which the builders rejected
has become the chief cornerstone,”Psalm 118:22

⁸and,

“a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.”Isaiah 8:14

For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.

2:6 “Behold”, from “הִנֵּה” or “ἰδοὺ”, means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection.

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)
