This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes? 43 Therefore I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given to a nation producing its fruits. 44 And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.

(that is, to bring Christ down from above)" 7 or, 'Who will descend into the abyss?' (that is, to bring Christ up again from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart"—that is, the word of faith which we preach, 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
