596 THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES In the quarry of the Jewish and the Gentile world the apostles labored, bringing out stones to lay upon the foundation. In his letter to the believers at Ephesus, Paul said, "Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner-stone; in whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto a holy temple in the Lord: in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God through the Spirit.''" And to the Corinthians he wrote: ''According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildetli thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. " * The apostles built upon a sure foundation, even the Eock of Ages. To this foundation they brought the stones that they quarried from the world. Not without hindrance did the builders labor. Their ^ork was made exceedingly difficult by the opposition of the enemies of Christ. They had to contend against the bigotry, prejudice, and hatred of those who were building upon a false foundation. Manj^ 3 Eph. 2:19-22. * 1 Cor. 3 : 10-13.
