1 Peter 2:6-8

New King James Version

⁶Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,

^(A)“Behold, I lay in Zion
A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,
And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”

⁷Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who ^[a]are disobedient,

^(B)“The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone,”

⁸and

^(C)“A stone of stumbling
And a rock of offense.”

^(D)They stumble, being disobedient to the word, ^(E)to which they also were appointed.

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)
