A Cornerstone in Zion

¹⁶ Therefore thus says the Lord God:

¹⁰ Have you not even read this Scripture:

¹⁰ let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, ^(A)that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, ^(B)whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. ¹¹ This is the ^(C)‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’

¹³ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Christ Our Peace

¹⁴ For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, ¹⁵ having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one ^(A)new man from the two, thus making peace, ¹⁶ and that He might ^(B)reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby ^(C)putting to death the enmity. ¹⁷ And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. ¹⁸ For ^(D)through Him we both have access ^(E)by one Spirit to the Father.

Christ Our Cornerstone

¹⁹ Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, ²⁰ having been ^(F)built ^(G)on the foundation of the ^(H)apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being ^(I)the chief cornerstone, ²¹ in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into ^(J)a holy temple in the Lord, ^22 (K)in whom you also are being built together for a ^(L)dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
