17 Accordingly the king commanded that they should quarry great stones, expensive stones,+ to lay the foundation+ of the house with hewn stones.+

2 And according to all my power+ I have prepared+ for the house of my God the gold+ for the goldwork, and the silver for the silverwork, and the copper for the copperwork, the iron+ for the ironwork, and the timbers+ for the timberwork; onyx+ stones, and stones to be set with hard mortar, and mosaic pebbles, and every precious stone, and alabaster stones in great quantity.

20 and YOU have been built up upon the foundation*+ of the apostles+ and prophets,+ while Christ Jesus himself is the foundation cornerstone.+

5 YOU yourselves also as living stones are being built up a spiritual house+ for the purpose of a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices+ acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.+
