Romans 9:33.
Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone. Hence God had foretold
that Christ should be a Living Stone (1 Peter 2:4). Peter has not quoted
the passage in full which declares that the stone is "a tried stone",
"a sure foundation".
Elect. Hence, "chosen by God" (1 Peter 2:4).

structure could not be built.
And he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Hence this
stone is a person, and faith in him is the basis of salvation.
