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, 
25 aBut the1 word of the Lord endures forever.” bNow this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.

1 Peter 1:21

Who by him do believe in God - This is supposed to refer to the Gentiles, who never knew the true God till they heard the preaching of the Gospel: the Jews had known him long before, but the Gentiles had every thing to learn when the first preachers of the Gospel arrived amongst them.

Gave him glory - Raised him to his right hand, where, as a Prince and a Savior, he gives repentance and remission of sins.

That your faith - In the fulfillment of all his promises, and your hope of eternal glory, might be in God, who is unchangeable in his counsels, and infinite in his mercies.
