ACC ~ 1 Peter 1 v20

BELONGING TO CHRIST. AUGUSTINE: Those belonging to the grace of Christ, who are foreknown, predestined and chosen from before the foundation of the world, shall die only insofar as Christ himself died for us, that is, by the death of the flesh only, not of the spirit. ON THE TRINITY 13.15.

FULLY AND PERFECTLY REVEALED. OECUMENIUS: Christ existed in earlier times and even before the foundation of the world, when he was hidden by divine providence until the right time should come. He was manifested to the prophets who did their best to examine these matters, as Peter has already mentioned, and now he is even more manifest, since he has been fully and perfectly revealed. Furthermore, Peter adds that he has been revealed for our sake. COMMENTARY ON 1 PETER.
