In 1 Peter 1:21 when I did my marking I have the following...
Through Him(Christ) you believe in God, Who(God) raised Him(Christ)
from the dead and glorified Him(???)...

I think the last "Him" is referring to Christ. Is that how you read
it?

I guess what is throwing me off is I never really thought of God
glorifying Christ. I always thought of Christ glorifying God. If
that "Him" is referring to Christ then I am grateful for this new
perspective into the relationships of the God-Head.

I think that it is Christ as well- that is how I marked it, because vs
19 and 20 refer to Christ. I did not think about the idea of God
glorifying Christ, but when you said that i realized I had always
looked at it the other way around as well. I guess that when God
raised Christ, he glorified Him, by doing something no one else can
claim. I dont know...just my tho stuughts.

I had trouble marking vs 15-17- Is the "he" there God or Christ?

Sorry I am so late- I am playing "catch up" today on my study

I agree with the first 2- I, too, had a different understanding than
when I went through the verses more slowly and with intention.
I don't know if this is right, but in v. 15 I marked "He" as God, as
well as in v. 16 and 17.
This discussion has been really encouraging.
Way to work on your studies, even when you are out of town!!

I think when the term "He" is used it is referring to God. When the
term "Him" is used it is referring to Christ.
I have a book, "Johnson's Notes on the New Testament"; it really
helped me get it straightened out (well...at least more than when I
began). Also looking at different translations sometimes helps.
