This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
It is contained (περιέχει)
From περί, round about, and ἔχω, to hold. Hence, to contain or comprehend. So Luk 5:9, he was astonished (θάμβος αὐτὸν περιέσχεν) ; lit., astonishment held him, encompassed. Also, Act 23:25, “He wrote a letter after this manner (περιέχουσαν τὸν τύπον τοῦτον) ; lit., containing this form. The verb here is impersonal. The kindred word περιοχή occurs only in Act 8:32, rendered place; i.e., the passage of scripture: either the contents of the passage or the section of the book circumscribed or marked off.
In the scripture (ἐν γραφῇ)
The best texts reject the article. Γραφή means a passage of scripture. See on Mar 12:10. Hence Rev., in scripture; margin, in a scripture.
Behold I lay, etc
See Rom 9:33.
Precious
See on 1Pe 2:4.
