1Pe 2:6 | TNotes | STEP | Summary for 1Pet 2:6-8: 2:6-8 The three Old Testament quotations in these verses each identify Christ as some kind of stone: the cornerstone on which the new temple is built (2:6 ); the cornerstone that God, despite peoples’ rejection, has elevated to be the keystone of his redemptive plan (2:7 ); and the stone that makes people stumble (2:8 ). Jesus quotes Ps 118:22 (Matt 21:42 ), and Paul quotes both Isa 8:14 and 28:16 (Rom 9:33 ). Likely these three quotations were brought together very early as a combined Old Testament testimony to the nature and significance of Jesus the Messiah.
