1 Peter 2:7-9
English Standard Version Anglicised

7 So the honour is for you who (A)believe, but for those who (B)do not believe,

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

8 and

(D)“A stone of stumbling,
    and a rock of offence.”

They stumble because they disobey the word, (E)as they were destined to do.

9 But you are (F)a chosen race, (G)a royal (H)priesthood, (I)a holy nation, (J)a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you (K)out of darkness into (L)his marvellous light.

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)
