Commentaries on 1 Peter 1:2
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 2Elect according to the foreknowledge of God - If the apostle had directed his letter to persons elected to eternal life, no one, as Drs.

Ac 2:23, and Ro 11:2, prove "foreknowledge" to be foreordination. God's foreknowledge is not the perception of any ground of action out of Himself; still in it liberty is comprehended, and all absolute constraint debarred [Anselm in Steiger]. For so the Son of God was "foreknown" (so the Greek…Read the comment
