Scriptural Foundations Shared between 1 Peter and the Writings of Paul

The Church as God’s People

1 Peter 2:10  Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

Romans 9:25  As he says in Hosea: "I will call them 'my people' who are not my people; and I will call her 'my loved one' who is not my loved one,"

Hosea 1:10  Yet the Israelites will be like the sand on the seashore, which cannot be measured or counted. In the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' they will be called 'sons of the living God.'

Hosea 2:23 - 3:1  I will plant her for myself in the land; I will show my love to the one I called 'Not my loved one 'I will say to those called 'Not my people, ''You are my people'; and they will say, 'You are my God.'" 

 

Christ as a stone

1 Peter 2:6-8 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."  Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, "The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone," and, "A stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall." They stumble because they disobey the message-- which is also what they were destined for.

Romans 9:33 - 10:1  As it is written: "See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 

Isaiah 28:16  So this is what the Sovereign LORD says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who trusts will never be dismayed.
