1 Petrus 1:2
Konteks1:2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father by being set apart by the Spirit for obedience and for sprinkling 1 with Jesus Christ’s blood. May grace and peace be yours in full measure! 2
1 Petrus 1:7
Konteks1:7 Such trials show the proven character of your faith, 3 which is much more valuable than gold – gold that is tested by fire, even though it is passing away 4 – and will bring praise 5 and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 6
1 Petrus 5:1
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:
[1:2] 1 sn For obedience and for sprinkling indicates the purpose of their choice or election by God.
[1:2] 2 tn Grk “be multiplied to you.”
[1:7] 3 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] sn The author is not asserting that the quality of the readers’ faith is in doubt and will be proven by future trials. He declares their faith to be a present reality in v. 5 and 9, so in context v. 8 affirms that their faith is indeed genuine.
[1:7] 4 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] 5 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] 6 tn Grk “at the revelation of Jesus Christ” (cf. v. 13).
