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 5:3

5:3 And do not lord it over ⁴  those entrusted to you, ⁵  but be examples to the flock.

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 Grk “not as lording it over…but being examples.” The participles continue the command of v. 2 by describing how the shepherding should be carried out.

⁵ tn Grk “the ones allotted,” referring to those God has given over to their care.
