1 Petrus 1:4

1:4 that is, ¹  into ²  an inheritance imperishable, undefiled, and unfading. It is reserved in heaven for you,

1 Petrus 2:11

2:11 Dear friends, I urge you as foreigners and exiles to keep away from fleshly desires that do battle against the soul,

1 Petrus 2:23

2:23 When he was maligned, he ³  did not answer back; when he suffered, he threatened ⁴  no retaliation, ⁵  but committed himself to God ⁶  who judges justly.

1 Petrus 4:8

4:8 Above all keep ⁷  your love for one another fervent, ⁸  because love covers a multitude of sins. ⁹ 

[1:4]  ¹ tn The phrase “that is” is supplied in the translation to indicate that the imperishable inheritance is in apposition to the living hope of v. 3.

[1:4]  ² tn Grk “into,” continuing the description of v. 3 without an “and.”

[2:23]  ³ tn Grk “who being maligned,” continuing the reference to Christ. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[2:23]  ⁴ tn Grk “he did not threaten, but.”

[2:23]  ⁵ sn An allusion to Isa 53:7.

[2:23]  ⁶ tn Grk “to the one”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:8]  ⁷ tn The primary verb of v. 8 is a participle (“having”) but it continues the sense of command from v. 7.

[4:8]  ⁸ tn Or “constant.”

[4:8]  ⁹ sn The statement of v. 8b, love covers a multitude of sins, is proverbial: It is quoted from Prov 10:12 (cf. Jas 5:20). It speaks of the forbearance that comes with love: Christian love is patient and forgiving toward the offenses of a fellow Christian (Matt 18:21-22; 1 Cor 13:4-7).
