1 Peter 1:21
Compare all
19 but awith the precious blood of Christ, bas of a lamb without blemish and without spot.  
20 aHe indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was1 manifest bin these last times for you  
21 who through Him believe in God, awho raised Him from the dead and bgave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.  

The Enduring Word

22 Since you ahave purified your souls in obeying the truth1 through the Spirit in sincere blove of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,  
23 ahaving been born again, not of1 corruptible seed but incorruptible, bthrough the word of God which lives and abides3 forever,  
24 because
a“All flesh is as grass,
And all1 the glory of man as the flower of the grass.
The grass withers,
And its flower falls away,

1 Peter 1:21

Who through him are believers in God (touv di autou pistouv eiv qeon). Accusative case in apposition with umav (you), "the through him (that is Christ as in I Peter 1:8; Acts 3:16) believers (pistouv correct text of A B) in God."

Which raised (ton egeiranta). Accusative singular articular (agreeing with qeon) first aorist active participle of egeirw (cf. di anastasewv Ihsou in verse I Peter 1:3).

Gave glory to him (docan autw donta). Second aorist active participle of didwmi agreeing also with qeon. See Peter's speech in Acts 3:13 about God glorifying (edocasen) Jesus and also the same idea by Peter in Acts 2:33-36; Acts 5:31.

So that your faith and hope might be in God (wste thn pistin umwn kai elpida eiv qeon). wste with the infinitive (einai) and the accusative of general reference (pistin kai elpida) is used in the N.T. as in the Koin‚ for either purpose (Matthew 10:1) or usually result (Mark 4:37). Hence here result (so that is) is more probable than design.
