Pictured to the left is a copy of a version of the Holy Bible, known as the King James Version ( KJV ). Ephesians 2:18-20 read as follows:
"18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone."
The Greek word ( Greek [ 204 ] ) for the word "corner," in verse twenty ( above ), is defined as follows:
". . . used of Christ, 1 Pet. ii. 6; Eph. ii. 20; Sept. Is. xxviii. 16 . . . . For as the corner-stone holds together two walls, so Christ joins together as Christians, into one body dedicated to God, those who were formerly Jews and Gentiles, Eph. ii. 20 [yet cf. Mey. ad loc.] compared with vss. 14, 16-19, 21 sq. And as a corner-stone contributes to sustain the edifice, but nevertheless some fall in going around the corner carelessly ; so some are built up by the aid of Christ, while others stumbling at Christ perish, 1 Pet. ii. 6-8 . . . ."

Green, Sr., p. 24. ]
The apostle Paul ( see 1:1 ) wrote ( see 3:1 and 4:1, for example ) of Jesus Christ as "the chief corner stone" ( as we read in verse twenty ) and, in so doing, he condemned racism.

Also, please read the Holy Bible ( which is God's word - see Luke 8:19-21 ( especially verse 21, for example ); 11:27, 28 ( especially verse 28, for example ); and Revelation 1:1-8 ( especially verse 3, for example ), for example ).
