1 Petrus 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 Petrus 4:12

4:12 Dear friends, do not be astonished ⁴  that a trial by fire is occurring among you, ⁵  as though something strange were happening to you.

[1:20]  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.

[1:20]  ² tn Greek emphasizes the contrast between these two clauses more than can be easily expressed in English.

[1:20]  ³ tn Grk “at the last of the times.”

[4:12]  ⁴ tn Or “do not be surprised, taken aback.” The same verb occurs in 4:4.

[4:12]  ⁵ tn Grk “at the burning among you, occurring to you for testing.”
