NET Notes

1 tn Grk “it contains,” “it stands.”

2 tn Grk “chosen, priceless.”

3 tn Grk “the one who believes.”

4 tn Grk either “in him” or “in it,” but the OT and NT uses personify the stone as the King, the Messiah whom God will establish in Jerusalem.

5 tn The negative (οὐ μή, ou mh) is emphatic: “will certainly not.”

6 sn A quotation from Isa 28:16.
