Isaiah 28:16

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

1 Corinthians 3:10-15

10 ^dAccording to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a ^efoundation, and ^fsomeone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. 11 For no one can lay a ^gfoundation other ^hthan that which is laid, ⁱwhich is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13 ^jeach one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed ^kby fire, and ^lthe fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, ^mhe will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, ⁿbut only as through fire.

Ephesians 2:19-22

19 So then you are no longer ^ostrangers and aliens, ^{▼▼Or sojourners} but you are ^qfellow citizens with the saints and ^rmembers of the household of God, 20 ^sbuilt on the foundation of the ^tapostles and prophets, ^uChrist Jesus himself being ^vthe cornerstone, 21 ^win whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into ^xa holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him ^yyou also are being built together ^zinto a dwelling place for God by ^{▼▼Or in} the Spirit.
