Connecting Statement:

Peter continues quoting from the scriptures.

The value, then, is to you who believe

You may need to make explicit that the value is of the "cornerstone" (1 Peter 2:6). Alternate translation: "only you who believe know the value of this cornerstone" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit)

The stone that was rejected ... has become the head of the corner

This is a metaphor that means people, like builders, rejected Jesus, but God has made him the most important stone in a building. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit)

The stone that was rejected by the builders

This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "The stone that the builders rejected" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive)

the head of the corner

This refers to the most important stone in a building and means basically the same thing as "cornerstone" in 1 Peter 2:6.
