1 ^aThen Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem ^bon Mount Moriah, where the Lord ^{▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew lacks the Lord} had appeared to David his father, at the place that David had appointed, ^don the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

Isaiah 28:16

16 therefore thus says the Lord God,
^e“Behold, I am the one who has laid ^{▼▼Dead Sea Scroll I am laying} as a foundation ^gin Zion,
a stone, a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation:
‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’

Matthew 16:18

18 And I tell you, ^hyou are Peter, and ⁱon this rock ^{▼▼The Greek words for Peter and rock sound similar} I will build my church, and ^kthe gates of ^lhell ^{▼▼Greek the gates of Hades} shall not prevail against it.

1 Corinthians 3:10-11

10 ⁿAccording to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a ^ofoundation, and ^psomeone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. 11 For no one can lay a ^qfoundation other ^rthan that which is laid, ^swhich is Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 2:20-22

20 ^tbuilt on the foundation of the ^uapostles and prophets, ^vChrist Jesus himself being ^wthe cornerstone, 21 ^xin whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into ^ya holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him ^zyou also are being built together ^aainto a dwelling place for God by ^{▼▼Or in} the Spirit.

1 Peter 2:4-8

4 As you come to him, a living stone ^acrejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 ^adyou yourselves like living stones are being built up as ^aea spiritual house, to be ^afa holy priesthood, ^agto offer spiritual sacrifices ^ahacceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For it stands in Scripture:

^ai“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
a cornerstone chosen and precious,
^ajand whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
7 So the honor is for you who ^akbelieve, but for those who ^aldo not believe,

^am“The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone,” ^{▼▼Greek the head of the corner}
8 and

^ao“A stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offense.”
They stumble because they disobey the word, ^apas they were destined to do.
