1 Peter 2:7-9
Christian Standard Bible

7 So honor will come to you who believe; but for the unbelieving,

The stone that the builders rejected—
this one has become the cornerstone,[a](A)

8 and

A stone to stumble over,
and a rock to trip over.[b](B)

They stumble because they disobey the word; they were destined(C) for this.

9 But you are a chosen race,[c][d](D) a royal priesthood,[e](E) a holy nation,[f](F) a people for his possession,[g](G) so that you may proclaim the praises[h][i](H) of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.(I)

1 Peter 2:7-9
New International Version

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

“The stone the builders rejected(B)
    has become the cornerstone,”[a](C)

8 and,

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

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

9 But you are a chosen people,(F) a royal priesthood,(G) a holy nation,(H) God’s special possession,(I) that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.(J)
