1 Petrus 2:5-6

2:5 you yourselves, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood and to offer ¹  spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 2:6 For it says ²  in scripture, “Look, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and priceless cornerstone, ³  and whoever believes ⁴  in him ⁵  will never ⁶  be put to shame.” ⁷ 

1 Petrus 3:16

3:16 Yet do it with courtesy and respect, ⁸  keeping a good conscience, so that those who slander your good conduct in Christ may be put to shame when they accuse you. ⁹ 

1 Petrus 3:20

3:20 after they were disobedient long ago ¹⁰  when God patiently waited ¹¹  in the days of Noah as an ark was being constructed. In the ark ¹²  a few, that is eight souls, were delivered through water.

[2:5]  ¹ tn Grk “unto a holy priesthood to offer.”

[2:6]  ² tn Grk “it contains,” “it stands.”

[2:6]  ³ tn Grk “chosen, priceless.”

[2:6]  ⁴ tn Grk “the one who believes.”

[2:6]  ⁵ tn Grk either “in him” or “in it,” but the OT and NT uses personify the stone as the King, the Messiah whom God will establish in Jerusalem.

[2:6]  ⁶ tn The negative (οὐ μή, ou mh) is emphatic: “will certainly not.”

[2:6]  ⁷ sn A quotation from Isa 28:16.

[3:16]  ⁸ tn Grk “but with courtesy and respect,” continuing the command of v. 15. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[3:16]  ⁹ tn Grk “when you are spoken against.”

[3:20]  ¹⁰ tn This reflects a Greek participle, literally “having been disobedient formerly,” that refers to the “spirits” in v. 19. Many translations take this as adjectival describing the spirits (“who had once been disobedient”; cf. NASB, NIV, NKJV, NLT, NRSV, TEV), but the grammatical construction strongly favors an adverbial interpretation describing the time of the preaching, as reflected above.

[3:20]  ¹¹ tn Grk “the patience of God waited.”

[3:20]  ¹² tn Grk “in which,” referring to the ark; the referent (the ark) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
