Exegesis
The final prepositional phrase eis to thaumaston autou phos {εἰς τὸ θαυμαστὸν αὐτοῦ φῶς | eis tò thaumastòn autoû phōs} expresses the goal “into His marvelous light.” The Greek layered nominatives become coordinated predicates in English, and the genitive participle is rendered as a relative clause to preserve clarity and theological movement.
In context — 1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen race, a priesthood of the King, a holy nation, a people set apart for possession , so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you from darkness into His wonderful light.
