And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”

“Behold, I lay in Zion (A)a stone for a foundation,
A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;
Whoever believes will not act hastily.

(B)“Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense,
And (C)whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”
