Periecho is used of Scripture holding a written statement and of amazement seizing those present.

The two attested uses show inclusion in what is written, as Scripture contains the cited declaration in 1 Peter 2:6, and an overwhelming seizure, as amazement takes hold of those at the fish catch in Luke 5:9.

1. Contained in a written Scripture statement · common

   In 1 Peter 2:6, the present active form occurs in the clause introducing what stands written in Scripture; the APB renders the surrounding clause, "Because it stands written in scripture." The verse then gives the declaration concerning a chosen, valued cornerstone.

   1 Peter 2:6
2. Seizing or overwhelming those present · common

   In Luke 5:9, the aorist active form is used with amazement and those who were with him after the catch of fish. The APB renders the clause, "For amazement had seized him and all who were with him."

   Luke 5:9

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the form in 1 Peter 2:6 through the clause "it stands written in scripture," while in Luke 5:9 it says that amazement "had seized" those present. These phrases show the verse-level presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
