The Key Word — μέριμναν, merimnagenerated
The word μέριμνα is a feminine noun that means anxiety or concern. It captures the worries that can distract us from our faith and relationship with God. In this context, it refers specifically to the burdens that believers are encouraged to cast upon the Lord.
This term appears in the New Testament in contexts that often highlight the struggles of daily life, as seen in Luke 8:14. The parsing indicates that it is in the accusative case, singular, emphasizing a specific type of concern that the believer is to surrender.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In the Berean Standard Bible, the phrase is rendered as anxiety, which aligns with the translations of the ASV and BSB. The KJV and BBE opt for care, focusing on the emotional aspect of the worries.
Different translations show a variety of renderings for the word μέριμναν: care (KJV, BBE), anxiety (ASV, BSB), cares (DBY), and worries (WEB). This highlights the nuances in how translators interpret the emotional weight of the term.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is ἐπιρίψαντες, having cast, which governs the action of the sentence. It is supported by a prepositional phrase ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν, upon Him, indicating where the anxiety is to be placed.
The structure includes a subordinate clause introduced by ὅτι, because, which provides the reason for the action of casting anxiety, linking it to God's care for the believers.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
ἐπιρίπτω is used in the Septuagint to translate Hebrew terms for casting burdens or cares, such as שָׁלַךְ (H7993), meaning to throw or cast away. This connection emphasizes the continuity of the theme of surrendering burdens to God.
The term μέριμνα does not have a direct counterpart in the Septuagint but aligns with the broader biblical theme of concern and anxiety, which is addressed throughout the Old Testament.

I will now with you sing away care, said John Careless, martyr, in a letter to Mr Philpot, for now my soul is turned to her old rest again, and hath taken a sweet nap in Christ’ s lap. I have cast my care upon the Lord which careth for me, and will be careless, according to my name. It is our work, saith another, to cast care; it is God’ s work to take care.

Read John Trapp on 1 Peter 5 →Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) Casting all your care upon him.—An adaptation of Psa 55:22, according to the LXX. Anxiety implies not only some distrust of God’s providence, but also some kind of belief that we may be able to manage better for ourselves; therefore here, as in the Sermon on the Mount, we are exhorted, especially in time of danger, simply to do what we know we ought to do, and to be unheeding about the rest. “Lord, it belongs not to my care Whether I die or live.” The confidence cannot be misplaced, for God is not forgetful of us. The play of words in the English does not represent anything in the original, where the two words for “care” are quite different.

Your anxiety, your distracting care, on him, for he careth for you, οτιαυτωμελειπεριυμων, for he meddles or concerns himself, with the things that interest you. Whatever things concern a follower of God, whether they be spiritual or temporal, or whether in themselves great or small, God concerns himself with them; what affects them affects him; in all their afflictions he is afflicted. He who knows that God cares for him, need have no anxious cares about himself. This is a plain reference to Psalms 55:22: Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he will sustain thee. He will bear both thee and thy burden.
Read AdamClarke on 1 Peter 5 →CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges7. casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you] The English version effaces a distinction in the Greek, the first word for “care” implying “distracting anxiety,” as in Matthew 13:22; Mark 4:19; Luke 8:14; Luke 21:34, the latter conveying the idea simply of the care that foresees and provides, as in Mark 4:38; John 10:13; John 12:6. The thought expressed is accordingly that our anxiety is to be swallowed up in our trust in the loving Providence of the Father. Here again we have a quotation somewhat altered from the LXX. version (Psalms 55:22), “Cast thy care upon the Lord and he shall nourish thee,” and in the warning against anxiety we may find an echo of the precepts against…

The Greek word πᾶς (i.e., *pas*) means 'all' or 'every' and appears in various forms, including masculine, feminine, and neuter. It is used in the New Testament to denote totality, as in 'all things' or 'every kind,' and can function as an adjective or pronoun. Notably, it can also imply 'the whole' when used with definite articles, as seen in verses like Matthew 28:18.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word μέριμνα (merimna) refers to care or anxiety, particularly of an anxious nature. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, such as in 1 Peter 5:7 and Luke 8:14, often associated with worries about worldly matters. The term is derived from a root suggesting distraction, and it encompasses both individual cares and collective anxieties.

σύ is the second-person singular pronoun meaning 'you' in Greek. It has various forms: genitive σοῦ, dative σοί, and accusative σέ. The word can be used for emphasis or contrast, particularly in the New Testament, as seen in verses like Matthew 26:64. It also appears in various dialects and has enclitic forms.

The Greek verb ἐπιρίπτω (transliterated as *epirrhipto*) means to throw or cast upon, both literally and figuratively. It is composed of the prefix ἐπί (upon) and ῥίπτω (to throw). The New Testament uses it in contexts such as Luke 19:35 and 1 Peter 5:7, where it conveys the idea of placing burdens or concerns upon God.

The Greek word ἐπί (epi) is a preposition that indicates a relationship of superposition, often translated as 'on,' 'upon,' or 'over.' It can govern the genitive, dative, or accusative cases, covering meanings related to place, time, authority, and various figurative uses. In the New Testament, it frequently appears with the accusative case, especially in contexts of motion or direction, such as in Matthew 14:28.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

The Greek word ὅτι (hoti) is a conjunction primarily meaning 'that' or 'because.' It introduces objective clauses, often following verbs of perception or declaration, and can also serve as a causal particle. The New Testament frequently employs it in this way, such as in Matthew 5:4-12. There is some variation in how lexicons describe its usage, particularly regarding its pleonastic function in direct discourse.
ὅτι [properly neut. of ὅστις], a conjunction [fr. Hom. down], (Lat. quod [ef.

The Greek word μέλει (i.e., *melei*) is built from the verb μέλω and commonly means 'to be of concern' or 'to care for.' It is primarily used in the third person and often appears in an impersonal form, indicating what matters to someone. In the New Testament, it is found in contexts such as Matthew 22:16 and Acts 18:17, where it expresses concern or care.
μέλω,
[in LXX: Jb 22:3 (חֵפֶץ), To 10:5, Wi 12:13, I Mac 14:42, 43*;]
intrans., to be an object of care, be a care; commonly in third pers.: c. dat. pers., Ac 18:17; very freq. impers., I Co 7:21; seq. ὅτι, Mk 4:38, Lk 10:40; c. gen. rei (as freq. in Att.), I Co 9:9; seq. περί, Mt 22:16, Mk 12:14, Jo 10:13 12:6, I Pe 5:7.
Trans., in act. and mid., to care for (not in LXX or NT).†
μέλει, 3 pers. sing. pres. of μέλω used impers.; impf. ἔμελεν; itis acare: τινί, to one; as in Grk. writ. with nom. of the thing, οὐδὲν τούτων, Acts xviii. 17; with gen. of the thing (as often in Attic), μὴ τῶν βοῶν μέλει τῷ θεῷ; 1 Co. ix. 9 [B. § 132, 15; ef. W. 595 (554)]; the thing which is a care to one, or about which he is solicitous, is evident from the context, 1 Co. vii. 21; περί τινος, gen. of obj., fo care about, have regard for, a pers. or a thing: Mt. xxii. 16; Mk. xii. 14; Jn. χ. 18; xii. 6; 1 Pet. v. 7,(Hdt. 6, 101; Xen. mem. 3, 6, 10; Cyr. 4, 5, 17; Hier. 9,10; 1 Macc. χῖν. 48 ; Sap. xii. 13; Barnab. ep. 1,5; cf. W.§ 30,104d.); foll. by ὅτι, Mk. iv. 38; Lk. x. 40.

There is no hidden depth here, and it would be a mistake to look for one: its usefulness is that it marks the subject a sentence is circling. In this verse it points at what the earlier accounts were about.

a-bout': The use of this word as a preposition, in the sense of "around," is confined to the Old Testament. In the New Testament, generally an adverb, for Greek hos or "hosei." The Revised Version (British and American) adopts it in several idiomatic translations of mello, referring to what is about to be, i.e. on the point of occurring, or immediately impending, amending the King James Version, in Ac 5:35; 27:2; Re 12:4, etc.
