16 therefore thus says the Lord God,
(A)“Behold, I am the one who has laid[a] as a foundation (B)in Zion,
    a stone, a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation:
    ‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’

11 (A)This Jesus[a] is the stone that was (B)rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.[b] 12 And there is (C)salvation (D)in no one else, for (E)there is no other (F)name under heaven given among men[c] by which we must be saved.”

For it stands in Scripture:

(A)“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
    a cornerstone chosen and precious,
(B)and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”

So the honor is for you who (C)believe, but for those who (D)do not believe,

(E)“The stone that the builders rejected
    has become the cornerstone,”[a]

and

(F)“A stone of stumbling,
    and a rock of offense.”

But even if we or (C)an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, (D)let him be accursed.

But I am afraid that (D)as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts (E)will be led astray from a (F)sincere and (G)pure devotion to Christ.
