God Defines Greek 4218 Pote

1 Peter 2:10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

English “time past were” emboldened in 1Peter 2:10 was translated from Greek particle 4218 pote that best reflects God’s definition translated into “in time past we” in Ephesians 2:2 “in time past” in verse 3 “being in time past” in verse 11 and “sometimes” in verse 13 in the context of Ephesians 2:1-22.
