1 Peter 2:8
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
and, “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word—and to this they were appointed.
In context
6 For it stands in Scripture: “See, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and precious cornerstone; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
7 To you who believe, then, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,”
8 and, “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word—and to this they were appointed.
9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
