1Pe 1:21. Δἰ αὐτοῦ, by Him) by Christ, in whose resurrection all the argument and efficacy of faith and hope centre.-[πιστεύοντας, who believe) by the power of that manifestation.-V. g.]-ὥστε) that so.-πίστιν ὑμῶν καὶ ἐλπίδα, your faith and hope) These two are most intimately joined together, and yet they differ with respect to the present and the future. [Faith is derived from the resurrection of Christ: hope from His glorification.-V. g.]-εἰς Θεόν, in God) alone, ch. 1Pe 3:5, who hath exalted Jesus, and prepared an anchor for us; Heb 6:19; Rom 8:34; whereas, apart from Christ, we could but have feared Him. Now we clearly believe and hope.
