1 Petrus 2:23

2:23 When he was maligned, he ¹  did not answer back; when he suffered, he threatened ²  no retaliation, ³  but committed himself to God ⁴  who judges justly.

1 Petrus 4:17

4:17 For it is time for judgment to begin, starting with the house ⁵  of God. And if it starts with us, what will be the fate ⁶  of those who are disobedient to the gospel of God?

[2:23]  ¹ 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]  ² tn Grk “he did not threaten, but.”

[2:23]  ³ sn An allusion to Isa 53:7.

[2:23]  ⁴ tn Grk “to the one”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:17]  ⁵ tn Grk “to begin from the house.”

[4:17]  ⁶ tn Or “the end.”
