rwp - 1Peter:2:6

rwp@1Peter:2:6 @{It is contained} (\periechei\). Present active (here intransitive, to contain, only N.T. example) of \periech\, old verb, to surround, transitive in strkjv@Luke:5:9| to seize (only other N.T. example). The formula with \periechei\ is in Josephus (_Ant_. XI. 7). This Scripture (\en graphi\) is strkjv@Isaiah:28:16| with some changes. Peter had in verse 4| already quoted \eklekton\ and \entimon\. Now note \akrogniaion\ (a chief corner stone), a word apparently invented by Isaiah (from \akros\, highest, and \gniaios\, Attic word for corner stone). Paul in strkjv@Ephesians:2:20| uses the same word, making Christ the chief corner stone (the only other N.T. example). In Isaiah the metaphor is rather a foundation stone. Peter and Paul make it "the primary foundation stone at the structure" (W. W. Lloyd). {On him} (\ep' auti\). That is, "on it" (this corner stone, that is, Christ). {Shall not be put to shame} (\ou m kataischunthi\). Strong negatives \ou m\ with first aorist passive subjunctive of \kataischun\, old verb, to put to shame (Romans:5:5|).
