Footnotes

  1. 19 Grk “to you who believe is the value,” referring to their perception of the stone in contrast to those who reject (vv. 7b–8). But the expression may also be translated as “to you who believe is this honor,” referring to the lack of shame cited in v. 6b.
  2. 20 Grk “the value” or “the honor,” but the former is preferred since it comes from the same root as “priceless” in vv. 4, 6, and it is in contrast to the negative estimate of the stone by those who reject (vv. 7b–8).
  3. 21 Grk “the head of the corner.”
  4. 22 A quotation from Ps 118:22 (cf. Matt 21:42; Mark 12:10; Luke 20:17; Acts 4:11).
