But I want you to realize the fact that Christ is the Head of every man, that the husband is the head of the wife, and that God is the Head of Christ.

The foundation stones of the city's wall were ornamented with all sorts of precious stones. The first foundation stone was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,

The ground of itself produces, first the stalk, then the head; at last there is the matured grain of wheat in the head.

Any man who prays or preaches with anything on his head dishonors his head,

and any woman who prays or prophesies bareheaded dishonors her head, for it is one and the same thing with having her head shaved.

for a husband is the head of his wife, just as Christ is the Head of the church, His body, and Saviour of it.

At this the Jews took up stones to stone Him, but Jesus made His way out of the temple unperceived.

The Jews again picked up stones to stone Him.

Keep on coming to Him, as to a living stone, rejected by men but chosen by God and precious in His sight,

It must be so, because the Scriptures say: "Here now I lay in Zion a chosen stone, a costly cornerstone, And not a single one who puts his trust in Him will ever be put to shame."

So to you who put your trust in Him the honor belongs, but to those who fail to trust Him: "That stone which then the builders threw away Has now become the cornerstone,"

and: "A stone for them to stumble over and a rock to trip them up." They keep on stumbling over the message, because they are disobedient to it, and this is their appointed doom.
