1 Corinthians 3:11

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Cross-reference

Isaiah 28:16 prophesies a precious cornerstone laid in Zion, which Paul identifies as Christ—the only foundation in 1 Cor 3:11.

Acts 4:12 Parallel

In 2 Corinthians 11:2-4, Paul warns against a different Jesus or gospel — the danger of building on a different foundation.

Ephesians 2:20 expands the metaphor: the foundation is the apostles and prophets, with Christ as the chief cornerstone.

1 Peter 2:6-8 identifies Christ as the cornerstone — believers rest on him, but unbelievers stumble over that same foundation.

Ezekiel 13:14 depicts God demolishing a false foundation — contrasting with the secure, divinely laid foundation of Christ.

In Matthew 7:24, building on rock echoes the same foundation metaphor—obedience to Christ's words parallels Christ himself as the foundation.

In Revelation 21:14, the New Jerusalem has twelve foundations (apostles)—contrasting with the one foundation (Christ) here, yet complementary.
