Matthew 7:24-25
King James Version
24 Therefore whosoever heareth
these sayings of mine, and doeth them,
I will liken him unto a wise man,
which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended,
and the floods came,
and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house;
and it fell not:
for it was founded upon a rock.
How to fortify a fortress?
Build it upon CHRIST.
For these reasons:
Deuteronomy 32:4
King James Version
4 He is the Rock,
his work is perfect:
for all his ways are judgment:
a God of truth and without iniquity,
just and right is he.
Ezra 3:10-13
King James Version
10 And when the builders laid the foundation
of the temple of the Lord,
they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets,
and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals,
to praise the Lord,
after the ordinance of David king of Israel.
11 And they sang together by course
in praising and giving thanks unto the Lord;
because he is good,
for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel.
And all the people shouted with a great shout,
when they praised the Lord,
because the foundation
of the house of the Lord was laid.
12 But many of the priests and Levites
and chief of the fathers,
who were ancient men,
that had seen the first house,
when the foundation of this house
was laid before their eyes,
wept with a loud voice;
and many shouted aloud for joy:
13 So that the people could not discern
the noise of the shout of joy
from the noise of the weeping of the people:
for the people shouted with a loud shout,
and the noise was heard afar off.
Job 38:4-6
King James Version
4 Where wast thou
when I laid the foundations of the earth?
declare, if thou hast understanding.
5 Who hath laid the measures thereof,
if thou knowest?
or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened?
or who laid the corner stone thereof;
Psalm 18:2
King James Version
2 The Lord is my rock,
and my fortress,
and my deliverer;
my God,
my strength,
in whom I will trust;
my buckler,
and the horn of my salvation,
and my high tower.
Psalm 118:22
King James Version
22 The stone which the builders refused
is become the head stone of the corner.
Isaiah 28:16
King James Version
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God,
Behold,
I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone,
a tried stone,
a precious corner stone,
a sure foundation:
he that believeth shall not make haste.
Matthew 21:42
King James Version
42 Jesus saith unto them,
Did ye never read in the scriptures,
The stone which the builders rejected,
the same is become the head of the corner:
this is the Lord's doing,
and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Acts 4:10-12
King James Version
10 Be it known unto you all,
and to all the people of Israel,
that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead,
even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11 This is the stone
which was set at nought of you builders,
which is become the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other:
for there is none other name under heaven
given among men, whereby we must be saved.
1 Corinthians 3:11
King James Version
11 For other foundation can no man lay
than that is laid,
which is Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 10:4
King James Version
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink:
for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them:
and that Rock was Christ.
Ephesians 2:20
King James Version
20 And are built upon the foundation
of the apostles and prophets,
Jesus Christ himself
being the chief corner stone;
1 Peter 2:1-5
King James Version
2 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile,
and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
2 As newborn babes,
desire the sincere milk of the word,
that ye may grow thereby:
3 If so be ye have tasted
that the Lord is gracious.
4 To whom coming,
as unto a living stone,
disallowed indeed of men,
but chosen of God, and precious,
5 Ye also, as lively stones,
are built up a spiritual house,
an holy priesthood,
to offer up spiritual sacrifices,
acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 2:6-10
King James Version
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture,
Behold,
I lay in Sion a chief corner stone,
elect, precious:
and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious:
but unto them which be disobedient,
the stone which the builders disallowed,
the same is made the head of the corner,
8 And a stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offence,
even to them which stumble at the word,
being disobedient:
whereunto also they were appointed.
9 But ye are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood,
an holy nation,
a peculiar people;
that ye should shew forth the praises of him
who hath called you out of darkness
into his marvellous light;
10 Which in time past were not a people,
but are now the people of God:
which had not obtained mercy,
but now have obtained mercy.
Revelation 21:19-20
King James Version
19 And the foundations of the wall of the city
were garnished with all manner of precious stones.
The first foundation was jasper;
the second, sapphire;
the third, a chalcedony;
the fourth, an emerald;
20 The fifth, sardonyx;
the sixth, sardius;
the seventh, chrysolyte;
the eighth, beryl;
the ninth, a topaz;
the tenth, a chrysoprasus;
