This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Which in time past (hoi pote). “Who once upon a time.”
No people (ou laos). This phrase from Hos 2:23. Note use of ou (not oudeis) with laos like Hebrew negative.
Which had not obtained mercy (hoi ouk eleēmenoi). Perfect passive articular participle of eleeō and the emphatic negative ou, with which compare Paul’s use of Hos 1:1-11; 2 in Rom 9:25, which may have been known to Peter or not.
But now have obtained mercy (nun de eleēthentes). Change to first aorist passive participle from “the long antecedent state” to “the single event of conversion which ended it” (Hort).
