Psalms 118:22
118:22 The stone which the builders discarded
has become the cornerstone.
Isaiah 8:14-15
8:14 He will become a sanctuary,
but a stone that makes a person trip,
and a rock that makes one stumble –
to the two houses of Israel.

to the residents of Jerusalem.
8:15 Many will stumble over the stone and the rock,
and will fall and be seriously injured,
and will be ensnared and captured.”
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.
Matthew 21:42-44
21:42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the scriptures:
‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?
21:43 For this reason I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.
21:44 The one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, and the one on whom it falls will be crushed.”

4:11 This Jesus
is
the stone that was rejected by you,
the builders, that has become the cornerstone.
Romans 9:33

and a rock that will make them fall,
yet the one who believes in him will not be put to shame.”

Israel’s Rejection Considered
9:1 I am telling the truth in Christ (I am not lying!), for my conscience assures me in the Holy Spirit –
Romans 2:4-8
2:4 Or do you have contempt for the wealth of his kindness, forbearance, and patience, and yet do not know
that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?
2:5 But because of your stubbornness
and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourselves in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed!
2:6 He
will reward each one according to his works:
2:7 eternal life to those who by perseverance in good works seek glory and honor and immortality,
2:8 but
wrath and anger to those who live in selfish ambition
and do not obey the truth but follow
unrighteousness.
