 His rejection was the occasion of making good to God's glory all that was promised, and a vast deal more which it was given to the Apostle Paul to communicate. But even here how rich is the grace that is unfolded! If they could not but sorrow over their unbelieving brethren after the flesh, in what had grace come short to him that believed? (1 Peter 2:6-8 by W. Kelly)
 How evident the solution of the riddle and how could it be otherwise if Jesus be the Christ and Son of God? Psa. 118:22 and Isa. 8:14 are as clearly fulfilled as the fuller prediction; while we have to wait for the earthly triumph when Israel shall own it all, Jesus is made head of the corner in heaven, and those who now believe, Jews or Gentiles, enjoy the blessing by faith. (1 Peter 2:6-8 by W. Kelly)
 It was not only in the eyes of God that this stone was precious, but in the eyes of faith which—feeble as the possessors of it may be—sees as God sees. (1 Peter 2 by J.N. Darby)
 Coming as He did, on God’s behalf, He exposed their folly and fitted in with none of their notions. He was, as it were, a stone of such peculiar formation that there was not a single niche in the imposing temple of man’s fame where He fitted in. (1 Peter 2 by F.B. Hole)

The beautiful force of the first clause was lost in the KJV, Christ is in God’s eyes a chief corner stone, elect, precious. "To you therefore that believe [is] the preciousness."
b
Why not say, "A stone which the builders rejected, this was made head corner-stone"?
