υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου λάλησον πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τοῦ ισραηλ καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς τάδε λέγει κύριος εἰ ἐπερωτῆσαί με ὑμεῖς ἔρχεσθε ζῶ ἐγὼ εἰ ἀποκριθήσομαι ὑμῖν λέγει κύριος
Ezekiel 20:3
Scriptural Confirmations # 9
9. 7. The Lord who is a living stone, rejected by men, chosen of God, precious, that ye also as living stones may be built up into a spiritual house, to the unbelieving He is a stone of stumbling (1 Peter 2:4-8).
Acceptable to God through Jesus Christ (1 Peter 2:5). He is called the Shepherd and Bishop of souls (1 Peter 2:25).
Jesus Christ, after He went into heaven was on the right hand of God; angels, authorities, and powers being subject unto Him (1 Peter 3:22).
That God may be glorified by Jesus Christ (1 Peter 4:11). God and Jesus our Lord (1 Peter 1:2; 2 Peter 1:1; James 1:1). The eternal kingdom of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Pet. 1:11; 3:2).
The knowledge of Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:8; 2:20).
Of the glorification of the Lord seen by the three disciples upon the mount (2 Peter 1:17-18).
1 Peter 2:4-8
4
coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.
5
You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
6
Because it is contained in Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen, and precious: He who believes in him will not be disappointed."
7
For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected, has become the chief cornerstone,"
8
and, "a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense." For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
