Copinger tells us that in Romans 8:29, proginoskos is a reference to love and approbation (approval and recognition). Also concerning this passage as well as 1 Peter 1:2, Abraham Scott, says that “the foreknowledge of God” referenced in them: .... must therefore be a knowledge of approbation that is here intended; as where it is said, that God knoweth the way of the righteous; that is, approves of it.
