Discovery Box1 Peter 1:20 
Context1:20 He was foreknown 1 before the foundation of the world but 2 was manifested in these last times 3 for your sake.

1 Peter 4:2
Context4:2 in that he spends the rest of his time 5 on earth concerned about the will of God and not human desires.
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 “because thus it is God’s will.”
5 tn This verse may give the purpose or result of their “arming” themselves as called for in v. 1b and then the translation would be: “so that you may spend the rest of your time…” But it is better to take it as explanatory of the last phrase in v. 1: what it means to be finished with sin.
