1 Petrus 1:14

1:14 Like obedient children, do not comply with ¹  the evil urges you used to follow in your ignorance, ² 

1 Petrus 1:23

1:23 You have been born anew, not from perishable but from imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God.

1 Petrus 2:24

2:24 He ³  himself bore our sins ⁴  in his body on the tree, that we may cease from sinning ⁵  and live for righteousness. By his ⁶  wounds ⁷  you were healed. ⁸ 

1 Petrus 3:16

4:12 Dear friends, do not be astonished ¹¹  that a trial by fire is occurring among you, ¹²  as though something strange were happening to you.

[1:14]  ¹ tn Or “do not be conformed to”; Grk “not being conformed to.”

[1:14]  ² tn Grk “the former lusts in your ignorance.”

[2:24]  ³ tn Grk “who.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[2:24]  ⁴ sn A quotation from Isa 53:4, 12.

[2:24]  ⁵ tn The verb ἀπογίνομαι (apoginomai) occurs only here in the NT. It can have a literal meaning (“to die”; L&N 74.27) and a figurative meaning (“to cease”; L&N 68.40). Because it is opposite the verb ζάω (zaw, “to live”), many argue that the meaning of the verb here must be “die” (so BDAG 108 s.v.), but even so literal death would not be in view. “In place of ἀποθνῃσκιεν, the common verb for ‘die,’ ἀπογινεθαι serves Peter as a euphemism, with the meaning ‘to be away’ or ‘to depart’” (J. R. Michaels, 1 Peter [WBC 49], 148). It is a metaphorical way to refer to the decisive separation from sin Jesus accomplished for believers through his death; the result is that believers “may cease from sinning.”

[2:24]  ⁶ tn Grk “whose.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[2:24]  ⁷ tn Grk the singular: “wound”; “injury.”

[2:24]  ⁸ sn A quotation from Isa 53:5.

[3:16]  ⁹ 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]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “when you are spoken against.”

[4:12]  ¹¹ tn Or “do not be surprised, taken aback.” The same verb occurs in 4:4.

[4:12]  ¹² tn Grk “at the burning among you, occurring to you for testing.”
