¹¹ For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.^(A)

²⁰ built^(A) on the foundation^(B) of the apostles and prophets,^(C) with Christ Jesus himself^(D) as the chief cornerstone.^(E)

¹⁶ So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

¹⁹ Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm,^(A) sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,”^(B) and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord^(C) must turn away from wickedness.”

⁶ For in Scripture it says:

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)

¹¹ Jesus is

¹² Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”^(B)

¹⁸ And I tell you that you are Peter,^[a](A) and on this rock I will build my church,^(B) and the gates of Hades^[b] will not overcome it.

⁷ which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion^(A) and are trying to pervert^(B) the gospel of Christ. ⁸ But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you,^(C) let them be under God’s curse!^{(D) 9} As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted,^(E) let them be under God’s curse!

² I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband,^(A) to Christ, so that I might present you^(B) as a pure virgin to him. ³ But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning,^(C) your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. ⁴ For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached,^(D) or if you receive a different spirit^(E) from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel^(F) from the one you accepted, you put up with it^(G) easily enough.
