2. Therefore everyone who hears these
words of mine and acts on them, may be
compared to a wise man who built his
house on the rock.
And the rain fell, and the floods came,
and the winds blew and slammed
against that house; and yet it did not fall,
for it had been founded on the rock.
Matthew 7:24-25

strangers and foreigners, but fellow

on the foundation of the apostles and

4. Jesus Christ himself being the chief
cornerstone, in whom the whole building,
being fitted together, grows into a holy
temple of the Lord, in whom YOU are
also being built together for a dwelling
place of God in the Spirit.
Ephesians 2:19-22
