ACC ~ 1 Peter 2 v6

NO BUILDING WITHOUT CORNERSTONE. AUGUSTINE: Without the cornerstone which is Christ, I do not see how men can be built into a house of God, to contain God dwelling in them, without being born again, which cannot happen before they are born the first time. LETTERS 187.31.

BELIEVERS OF ALL CULTURES. CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA: Peter calls our Lord Jesus Christ a chosen and precious stone, fashioned by the glory and splendor of divinity. He calls it the cornerstone, because through one faith it binds together in unity the two peoples, Israel and the Gentiles. CATENA.

ONLY ONE CORNERSTONE. HILARY OF ARLES: Everything in this prophecy is written about Christ. There are many living stones in God’s temple, but here we are contemplating only the One. INTRODUCTORY COMMENTARY ON 1 PETER.

CHRIST THE ROCK. BEDE: Peter reinforces the reliability of Christ as our Lord and Savior by reminding us that he was called a rock by the prophets. ON 1 PETER.
