foreknowledge
Prognosis is God’s prior knowing as it is named in connection with Jesus’ death and believers’ call to obedience.
The two occurrences present prognosis as God’s prior knowing: Acts 2:23 places it with the determined plan surrounding Jesus’ handing over and death, while 1 Peter 1:2 places it before the call toward obedience and sprinkling.

In Acts 2:23, the dative singular form occurs in the phrase the APB renders “by the determined plan and foreknowledge of God,” concerning the handing over, crucifixion, and killing of “This one.” In 1 Peter 1:2, the accusative singular form follows “according to” in the APB’s “according to the foreknowledge of God the Father,” before the verse’s movement toward obedience and sprinkling.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “foreknowledge” in both clauses: alongside God’s determined plan in Acts 2:23 and as the basis introduced by “according to” in 1 Peter 1:2. These renderings confirm the clauses’ overall presentation rather than isolate every contribution of the noun.
