# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Peter continues quoting from the scriptures.
|
|
|
|
# The value, then, is to you who believe
|
|
|
|
You may need to make explicit that the value is of the "cornerstone" ([1 Peter 2:6](./06.md)). Alternate translation: "only you who believe know the value of this cornerstone" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
|
|
|
|
# The stone that was rejected ... has become the head of the corner
|
|
|
|
This is a metaphor that means people, like builders, rejected Jesus, but God has made him the most important stone in a building. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
|
|
|
|
# The stone that was rejected by the builders
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "The stone that the builders rejected" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
|
|
|
|
# the head of the corner
|
|
|
|
This refers to the most important stone in a building and means basically the same thing as "cornerstone" in [1 Peter 2:6](../02/06.md).
