Matius 11:28-29

11:28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 11:29 Take my yoke ¹  on you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

1 Petrus 3:9-11

3:9 Do not return evil for evil or insult for insult, but instead bless ²  others ³  because you were called to inherit a blessing. 3:10 For

the one who wants to love life and see good days must keep ⁴  his tongue from evil and his lips from uttering deceit.

3:11 And he must turn away from evil and do good;

he must seek peace and pursue it.

[11:29]  ¹ sn A yoke is a wooden bar or frame that joins two animals like oxen or horses so that they can pull a wagon, plow, etc. together. Here it is used figuratively of the restrictions that a teacher or rabbi would place on his followers.

[3:9]  ² tn Grk “not returning…but blessing,” continuing the sense of command from the preceding.

[3:9]  ³ tn The direct object “others” is omitted but implied in Greek, and must be supplied to suit English style.

[3:10]  ⁴ tn Grk “stop.”
