1 Peter 2:7-9
New Living Translation

7 Yes, you who trust him recognize the honor God has given him.[a] But for those who reject him,

“The stone that the builders rejected
    has now become the cornerstone.”[b]

8 And,

“He is the stone that makes people stumble,
    the rock that makes them fall.”[c]

They stumble because they do not obey God’s word, and so they meet the fate that was planned for them.

9 But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests,[d] a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.
