* In the same way that the cornerstone of a building supports and determines the position of the whole building, so Jesus Christ is the cornerstone on which the Assembly of believers is founded and supported.
* The term “cornerstone” could also be translated as “main building stone” or “foundation stone.”
* Consider whether the target language has a term for a part of a building’s foundation that is the main support. If so, this term could be used.
* Another way to translate this would be, “a foundation stone used for the corner of a building.”
* It is important to keep the fact that this is a large stone, used as a solid and secure building material. If stones are not used for constructing buildings, there may be another word that could be used that means “large stone” (such as “boulder”) but it should also have the idea of being well-formed and made to fit.
