1 Petrus 4:7

Service, Suffering, and Judgment

4:7 For the culmination of all things is near. So be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of prayer. ⁴ 

1 Petrus 4:17

4:17 For it is time for judgment to begin, starting with the house ⁵  of God. And if it starts with us, what will be the fate ⁶  of those who are disobedient to the gospel of God?

1 Petrus 5:10

5:10 And, after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ ⁷  will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. ⁸ 

[1:13]  ¹ tn Grk “binding up the loins of your mind,” a figure of speech drawn from the Middle Eastern practice of gathering up long robes around the waist to prepare for work or action.

[1:13]  ² tn Grk “having bound up…, being sober, set your hope…”

[1:13]  ³ tn Grk “at the revelation of Jesus Christ” (cf. v. 7).

[4:7]  ⁴ tn Grk “for prayers.”

[4:17]  ⁵ tn Grk “to begin from the house.”

[4:17]  ⁶ tn Or “the end.”

[5:10]  ⁷ tc ‡ A few important mss (א B 614 630 1505 pc) lack “Jesus” after “Christ,” while the majority include the name (Ì⁷² A P Ψ 33 1739 Ï latt). However, the inclusion is a natural and predictable expansion on the text. NA²⁷ includes ᾿Ιησοῦ (Ihsou, “Jesus”) in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity. .

[5:10]  ⁸ tn The pronoun “you” is not used explicitly but is clearly implied by the Greek.
