This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Concerning which salvation (peri hēs sōtērias). Another relative clause (taking up sōtēria from 1Pe 1:9 and incorporating it) in this long sentence (1Pe 1:3-12, inclusive, all connected by relatives). Peter lingers over the word sōtēria (salvation) with something new to say each time (Bigg). Here it is the general sense of the gospel of grace.
Sought (exezētēsan). First aorist active indicative of ekzēteō, to seek out (Act 15:17), late and rare compound, only in lxx and N.T. save once in Aristides.
Searched diligently (exēraunēsan). First aorist active indicative of exeraunaō, old and common compound (exereunaō), to search out diligently, here only in N.T. Both of these words occur together in 1 Macc. 9:26.
Of the grace that should come unto you (peri tēs eis humas charitos). “Concerning the for you grace” (meant for you).
