6 For it stands in scripture:

“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious,

and he who believes in him will not be put to shame.”

7 To you therefore who believe, he is precious, but for those who do not believe,

“The very stone which the builders rejected

has become the head of the corner,”

8 and

“A stone that will make men stumble,

a rock that will make them fall”;

for they stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.
