“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.”
For in Scripture it says: 'See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame' — the citation from Isaiah 28:16 establishes the cornerstone (akrogōniaios) as both chosen and precious, and emphasizes that trust in this stone guarantees freedom from shame. The connection to Zion (Sion, Jerusalem) spiritually reframes the community as the new temple.
