The Prophetic Office

The verse refers to "apostles and prophets" as a foundation, which could be interpreted as referring to the foundational teachings or writings of these individuals rather than their ongoing role or institution within Israel. Furthermore, the verse places Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone, suggesting a new foundation rather than a continuation of the Old Testament prophetic office.
