1 Peter 1:21

Through Him you believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him; and so your faith and hope are in God.

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — Peter addresses purified believers, directing their trust toward God through Christ’s vindication after His earthly revelation.

The words — δι᾽ (di') translates as "through," and ἐγεὶραντα (egeiranta) translates as "having raised up," specifying the mechanism and basis of that trust.

The thread — The resurrection motif runs through Acts 2:24, where God releases Christ from death’s agony, and Hebrews 2:9, which records His subsequent crowning with glory and honor. John 12:44 parallels the trust structure, teaching that believing in Jesus is believing in the Father who sent Him.

Why it lands — The text demands that readers locate their faith and hope exclusively in God, grounded in the historical reality of Christ’s raising and glorification.

Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.

The Greek words

King James Version

Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
