1 Peter 2:7-9
New International Version - UK
1 Peter 2:7-9
New International Version - UK
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,’[a]
8 and,
‘A stone that causes people to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall.’[b]
They stumble because they disobey the message – which is also what they were destined for.
9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
