“Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,”
Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, 'The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone' — the assessment is differential: the stone is precious (timios) to believers but a 'stumbling stone' to rejectors. The citation from Psalm 118:22 shows that the rejected stone becomes the corner stone, suggesting the paradox of Christ's rejection by authority resulting in his ultimate exaltation.
