1 Peter 2:6-8

^{Tools
6} For it is contained in Scripture:

Look! I lay a stone in Zion,^(A)
a chosen and honored^(a) cornerstone,^(b)^(B)
and the one who believes in Him
will never be put to shame!^(c)^(C)^(d)

^{Tools
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,^(D)^(e)

^{Tools
8} and

A stone to stumble over,^(f)
and a rock to trip over.^(g)^(E)^(h)

They stumble because they disobey the message; they were destined^(F) for this.
