‏ 1 Peter 2:7

The preciousness ( η τιμη ). Or "the honour." Explanation of εντιμον and ου μη καταισχυνθη and only true "for you which believe" ( τοις πιστευουσιν ethical dative of articular present active participle of πιστευω to believe).

But for such as disbelieve ( απιστουσιν δε ). Dative present active participle again of απιστεω, opposite of πιστευω (Lu 24:11).

Was made the head of the corner ( εγενηθη εις κεφαλην γωνιας ). This verse is from Ps 118:22 with evident allusion to Isa 28:16 ( κεφαλην γωνιασ=ακρογωνιαιον ). See Mt 21:42; Mr 12:10; Lu 20:17, where Jesus himself quotes Ps 118:22 and applies the rejection of the stone by the builders ( ο οικοδομουντες, the experts) to the Sanhedrin's conduct toward him. Peter quoted it also (and applied it as Jesus had done) in his speech at the Beautiful Gate (Ac 4:11). Here he quotes it again to the same purpose.
