The NWT rendering of 1 Peter 1:11, "the spirit in them was indicating
concerning Christ," for τὸ ἐν αὐτοῖς
πνεῦμα Χριστοῦ προμαρτυρόμενον, is apparently contextual (as
the translators understood it) rather than strictly grammatical.
However, the footnote to 1 Peter 1:11 in the NWT Reference Bible (1984)
gives the literat translation in this manner: "Or, 'the spirit of Christ which
was in them indicated.'"
Thus, the NWT makes available the literal translation along with a
contextual one -- the spirit-directed examination of the prophetic Messianic
Scriptures by pre-Christian prophets.
