JESUS - Ephesians 2:19-22 Part 2 of 2

Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God's people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and arises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

with Christ Jesus himself 
1 Corinthians 3:11  For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

as the chief cornerstone 
Acts 4:11  "Jesus is 'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.' " (Psalm 118:22)
1 Peter 2:4-8  As you come to him, the living Stone--rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him--you also like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For in Scripture it says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame." (Isaiah 28:16) Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, "The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone," (Psalm 118:22) and, "A stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall." (Isaiah 8:14) They stumble because they disobey the message--which is also what they were destined for.

In him the whole building is joined together and arises to become a holy temple in the Lord 
1 Corinthians 3:16-17  Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person; for God's temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.
