" Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the ressurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead". 1 Peter 1:3 ESV

1. Who is blessed?

2. Why do versions differ? e.g. KJB and NET Bible have "Blessed", but NIV, CPE, Holman C.S.B. and New Living Translation have "praise". "Praise be to the God and Father..". NIV

3. Why is Blessed in 1 Peter 1:3 "eulogetos", but in Luke 6:20-22 blessed comes from "makarioi"?

4. How can the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be blessed when in Hebrews 7:7 we read "It is beyond dispute that the inferior is blessed by the superior"?

5. How does "eulogetos" relate to Hebrew? Would, "Blessed" is the man, in Psalm 1:1, be its eqivalent?
