1 Peter 2:6-7 (Listen)

6 For it stands in Scripture:

t“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,

a cornerstone chosen and precious,

uand whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”

7 So the honor is for you who vbelieve, but for those who vdo not believe,

w“The stone that the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone,”1

[1] 2:7 Greek the head of the corner

16 therefore thus says the Lord God,

r“Behold, I am the one who has laid1 as a foundation sin Zion,

a stone, a tested stone,

a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation:

‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’

[1] 28:16 Dead Sea Scroll I am laying

22 dThe stone that the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone.1

[1] 118:22 Hebrew the head of the corner
