'Built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone' — the temple metaphor applied to the new covenant community (Ephesians 2:19–22) identifies the structural elements: apostolic-prophetic tradition as foundation, Christ as the cornerstone (akrogōniaion, the defining stone), and the Spirit as the indwelling presence. The 'apostles and prophets' here likely refers to the New Testament office-holders (cf. Ephesians 3:5; 4:11) whose foundational teaching constitutes the norm by which later Christian doctrine is measured. The cornerstone imagery draws on Isaiah 28:16 and Psalm 118:22, both applied to Jesus in the New Testament (Matthew 21:42; 1 Peter 2:6–7). The verse is central in ecclesiological debates about the normativity of apostolic teaching and the relationship between Scripture, tradition, and the ongoing teaching ministry of the church.
