1 Peter 2:4

A Living Stone, a Chosen People

2:4 So as you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but chosen and priceless in God’s sight,

Isaiah 28:16

28:16 Therefore, this is what the sovereign master, the Lord, says:

“Look, I am laying a stone in Zion,

an approved stone,

set in place as a precious cornerstone for the foundation.

The one who maintains his faith will not panic.

Zechariah 10:4

10:4 From him will come the cornerstone, the wall peg, the battle bow, and every ruler.

Romans 9:32-33

9:32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but (as if it were possible) by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone, 9:33 just as it is written,

“Look, I am laying in Zion a stone that will cause people to stumble

and a rock that will make them fall,

yet the one who believes in him will not be put to shame.”

Ephesians 2:20

2:20 because you have been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone.
