1 Petrus 2:15

2:15 For God wants you ¹  to silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing good.

1 Petrus 3:17

3:17 For it is better to suffer for doing good, if God wills it, ²  than for doing evil.

1 Petrus 4:19

4:19 So then let those who suffer according to the will of God entrust their souls to a faithful Creator as they do good. ³ 

[2:15]  ¹ tn Grk “because thus it is God’s will.”

[3:17]  ² tn Grk “if the will of God should will it.” As in 3:14 the Greek construction here implies that suffering for doing good was not what God normally willed, even though it could happen, and in fact may have happened to some of the readers (cf. 4:4, 12-19).

[4:19]  ³ tn Grk “in doing good.”
