Konteks1:7 Such trials show the proven character of your faith, 1 which is much more valuable than gold – gold that is tested by fire, even though it is passing away 2 – and will bring praise 3 and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 4

Konteks5:1 So as your fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings and as one who shares in the glory that will be revealed, I urge the elders among you:
[1:7] 1 tn Or “genuineness,” the result of testing. On the other hand it may denote the process of testing: “that the proving of your faith…may bring praise.”

[1:7] 2 tn Grk “which is passing away but is tested by fire,” describing gold in a lesser-to-greater comparison with faith’s proven character.
[1:7] 3 tn Grk “that the testing of your faith…may be found unto praise,” showing the result of the trials mentioned in v. 6.
[1:7] 4 tn Grk “at the revelation of Jesus Christ” (cf. v. 13).
[1:13] 5 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] 6 tn Grk “having bound up…, being sober, set your hope…”
[1:13] 7 tn Grk “at the revelation of Jesus Christ” (cf. v. 7).
[4:13] 8 tn Grk “in the revelation of his glory.”
[4:13] 9 tn The verb “be glad” is used also in 1:6 and 1:8. The verbs of v. 13b are used together in Matt 5:12 and Rev 19:7.
