1 Peter 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
English “Elect” emboldened in 1Peter 1:2 was translated from Greek adjective 1588 eklektos that describes and qualifies God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “the sons of God”. Greek adjective 1588 eklektos best represents God’s will currently, translated into “chosen” in Matthew 22:14 “For many are called, but few are chosen” and prophetically into “chosen” in Revelation 17:14 “These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful”. Greek adjective 1588 eklektos was erroneously translated into “elects sake” in Mark 13:20 where English “for” was mistranslated from Greek preposition 1223 dia denoting the channel of an act that was 88 times correctly translated into “through”. Correctly translated Mark 13:20 would say And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but through the elect, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
English “the foreknowledge” emboldened in 1Peter 1:2 was translated from Greek feminine noun 4268 prognposis that in the context of 1Peter 1:2 means that “seven thousand” “chosen” “saints” “elect” “election” “the sons of God” know God before “the rest” of God’s “creatures” as documented in James 1:18 and Romans 11:7-8 “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures” “What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded” “According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; unto this day”.
