1 Petrus 3:8

Suffering for Doing Good

3:8 Finally, all of you be harmonious, ¹  sympathetic, affectionate, compassionate, and humble.

1 Petrus 4:14

4:14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory, ²  who is the Spirit of God, ³  rests ⁴  on you.

[3:8]  ¹ tn There is no main verb in this verse (Grk “Finally, all [ ] harmonious”), but it continues the sense of command from the previous paragraphs.

[4:14]  ² tc Many mss, some of them important and early ([א] A P 33 81 323 945 1241 1739 pm bo), add καὶ δυνάμεως (kai dunamew"; “and of power”) here. The shorter reading is supported by Ì⁷² B K L Ψ 049 pm). Although the evidence is evenly divided, the longer reading looks to be an explanatory or liturgical expansion on the text and for this reason should be considered secondary.

[4:14]  ³ tn Grk “the Spirit of glory and of God.”

[4:14]  ⁴ sn A quotation taken from Isa 11:2.
