1 Peter 2:6-10
New King James Version
1 Peter 2:6-10
New King James Version
6 Therefore 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.”
7 Therefore, 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,”
8 and
(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.
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of (F)darkness into His marvelous light; 10 (G)who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

1 Peter 2:6-10
New International Version
6 For 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)
7 Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,(C)
8 and,
They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.(G)
9 But you are a chosen people,(H) a royal priesthood,(I) a holy nation,(J) God’s special possession,(K) that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.(L) 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God;(M) once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
