Ephesians 2:20-22
You are a building that is built on the apostles and prophets. They are the foundation. Christ Jesus himself is the most important stone in the building.The whole building is held together by him. It rises to become a holy temple because it belongs to the Lord.And because you belong to him, you too are being built together. You are being made into a house where God lives through his Spirit.

1 Corinthians 3 9-1 Corinthians 3 15
We work together to serve God. You are like God’s field. You are like his building.God has given me the grace to lay a foundation as a wise builder. Now someone else is building on it. But each one should build carefully.No one can lay any other foundation than what has already been laid. That foundation is Jesus Christ.A person may build on it using gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay or straw.But each person’s work will be shown for what it is. On judgment day it will be brought to light. It will be put through fire. The fire will test how good each person’s work is.If the building doesn’t burn up, God will give the builder a reward for the work.If the building burns up, the builder will lose everything. The builder will be saved, but only like one escaping through the flames.

1 Peter 2 5-1 Peter 2 6
You also are like living stones. As you come to Christ, you are being built into a house for worship. There you will be holy priests. You will offer spiritual sacrifices. God will accept them because of what Jesus Christ has done.In Scripture it says,“ Look! I am placing a stone in Zion. It is a chosen and very valuable stone. It is the most important stone in the building. The one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”( Isaiah 28:16)

Hebrews 3:3-6
The person who builds a house has greater honor than the house itself. In the same way, Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses.Every house is built by someone. But God is the builder of everything.“ Moses was faithful as one who serves in the house of God.”( Numbers 12:7) He was a witness to what God would say in days to come.But Christ is faithful as the Son over the house of God. And we are his house if we hold tightly to what we are certain about. We must also hold tightly to the hope we boast in.
