1 Peter 1:20

1:20 He was foreknown ¹  before the foundation of the world but ²  was manifested in these last times ³  for your sake.

1 Peter 5:7

1 Peter 2:6

2:6 For it says ⁶  in scripture, “Look, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and priceless cornerstone, ⁷  and whoever believes ⁸  in him ⁹  will never ¹⁰  be put to shame.” ¹¹ 

¹ tn Grk “who was foreknown,” describing Christ in v. 19. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

² tn Greek emphasizes the contrast between these two clauses more than can be easily expressed in English.

³ tn Grk “at the last of the times.”

⁴ tn Or “throwing on”; “loading.” Some scholars take the participle to function imperativally, or as attendant circumstance – thus, “cast.” See below for discussion.

⁵ tn Or “anxiety, burden,” but using a word from the same root as the verb “cares” in the last part of the verse.

⁷ tn Grk “it contains,” “it stands.”

⁸ tn Grk “chosen, priceless.”

⁹ tn Grk “the one who believes.”

¹⁰ tn Grk either “in him” or “in it,” but the OT and NT uses personify the stone as the King, the Messiah whom God will establish in Jerusalem.

¹¹ tn The negative (οὐ μή, ou mh) is emphatic: “will certainly not.”

¹² sn A quotation from Isa 28:16.
