1 Petrus 2:7
Konteks2:7 So you who believe see 2 his value, 3 but for those who do not believe, the stone that the builders rejected has become the 4 cornerstone, 5
1 Petrus 2:10
Konteks2:10 You 6 once were not a people, but now you are God’s people. You were shown no mercy, 7 but now you have received mercy.
1 Petrus 2:18
Konteks2:18 Slaves, 8 be subject 9 to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are perverse.
1 Petrus 2:24
Konteks2:24 He 10 himself bore our sins 11 in his body on the tree, that we may cease from sinning 12 and live for righteousness. By his 13 wounds 14 you were healed. 15
1 Petrus 3:4
Konteks3:4 but the inner person 16 of the heart, the lasting beauty of a gentle and tranquil spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.
1 Petrus 3:6
Konteks3:6 like Sarah who obeyed 17 Abraham, calling him lord. You become her children 18 when you do what is good and have no fear in doing so. 19
1 Petrus 3:12
Konteks3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are 20 upon the righteous and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the Lord’s face is against those who do evil. 21
1 Petrus 3:14
Konteks3:14 But in fact, if you happen to suffer 22 for doing what is right, 23 you are blessed. But do not be terrified of them 24 or be shaken. 25
1 Petrus 3:16

1 Petrus 4:1
Konteks4:1 So, since Christ suffered 28 in the flesh, you also arm yourselves with the same attitude, because the one who has suffered in the flesh has finished with sin, 29
1 Petrus 4:6
Konteks4:6 Now it was for this very purpose 30 that the gospel was preached to those who are now dead, 31 so that though 32 they were judged in the flesh 33 by human standards 34 they may live spiritually 35 by God’s standards. 36
1 Petrus 4:13

1 Petrus 5:8
Konteks5:8 Be sober and alert. Your enemy the devil, like a roaring lion, 44 is on the prowl looking for someone 45 to devour.
[1:21] 1 tc Although there may be only a slight difference in translation, the term translated as “trust” is the adjective πιστούς (pistous). This is neither as common nor as clear as the verb πιστεύω (pisteuw, “believe, trust”). Consequently, most
[1:21] tn Grk “who through him [are] trusting,” describing the “you” of v. 20. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
[2:7] 2 tn Grk “to you who believe is the value,” referring to their perception of the stone in contrast to those who reject (vv. 7b-8). But the expression may also be translated as “to you who believe is this honor,” referring to the lack of shame cited in v. 6b.
[2:7] 3 tn Grk “the value” or “the honor,” but the former is preferred since it comes from the same root as “priceless” in vv. 4, 6, and it is in contrast to the negative estimate of the stone by those who reject (vv. 7b-8).
[2:7] 4 tn Grk “the head of the corner.”
[2:7] 5 sn A quotation from Ps 118:22 (cf. Matt 21:42; Mark 12:10; Luke 20:17; Acts 4:11).
[2:10] 6 tn Grk “who,” continuing the description of the readers from vs. 9. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
[2:10] 7 sn The quotations in v. 10 are from Hos 1:6, 9; 2:23.
[2:18] 8 tn The Greek term here is οἰκέτης (oiketh"), often used of a servant in a household (who would have been a slave).
[2:18] 9 tn Grk “being subject,” but continuing the sense of command from vs. 13.
[2:24] 10 tn Grk “who.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
[2:24] 11 sn A quotation from Isa 53:4, 12.
[2:24] 12 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] 13 tn Grk “whose.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
[2:24] 14 tn Grk the singular: “wound”; “injury.”
[2:24] 15 sn A quotation from Isa 53:5.
[3:4] 16 tn Grk “the hidden man.” KJV’s “the hidden man of the heart,” referring to a wife, could be seriously misunderstood by the modern English reader.
[3:6] 17 tn Grk “as Sarah obeyed.”
[3:6] 18 tn Grk “whose children you become.”
[3:6] 19 tn Grk “doing good and not fearing any intimidation.”
[3:12] 20 tn The verbs are implied but not expressed in this verse: “the Lord’s eyes [ ] on the righteous and his ears [ ] to their prayer, but his face [ ] against those who do evil.”
[3:12] 21 sn Verses 10-12 are a quotation from Ps 34:12-16.
[3:14] 22 sn The Greek construction here implies that such suffering was not the norm, even though it could happen, and in fact may well have happened to some of the readers (cf. 4:4, 12-19).
[3:14] 23 tn Grk “because of righteousness.”
[3:14] 24 tn Grk “do not fear their fear,” referring to those who cause their suffering. The phrase “their fear” may mean “what they fear” (subjective genitive), but in a situation of persecution it more likely means “fear of them” (objective genitive).
[3:14] 25 sn A quotation from Isa 8:12.
[3:16] 26 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] 27 tn Grk “when you are spoken against.”
[4:1] 28 tc Most
[4:1] 29 sn Has finished with sin. The last sentence in v. 1 may refer to Christ as the one who suffered in the flesh (cf. 2:21, 23; 3:18; 4:1a) and the latter part would then mean, “he has finished dealing with sin.” But it is more likely that it refers to the Christian who suffers unjustly (cf. 2:19-20; 3:14, 17). This shows that he has made a break with sin as vs. 2 describes.
[4:6] 30 tn Grk “since for this purpose the gospel was preached even to the dead,” referring to the purpose described in the clause to follow in v. 6b.
[4:6] 31 sn In context the phrase those who are dead refers to those now dead who had accepted the gospel while they were still living and had suffered persecution for their faith. Though they “suffered judgment” in this earthly life (i.e., they died, in the midst of physical abuse from the ungodly), they will enjoy life from God in the spiritual, heavenly realm because of the gospel (v. 6b). It clearly does not assume a second chance for conversion offered to unbelievers who had died; why would Peter urge people to suffer in this life for the sake of the gospel if he believed that mercy would be extended to all the dead in the hereafter (cf. 2:7-8; 4:1-5, 12-19)?
[4:6] 32 tn Grk “so that they may be judged…but may live.” Greek emphasizes the contrast between these two clauses more than can be easily expressed in English.
[4:6] 33 tn Or “in their earthly lives,” since “flesh” here denotes the physical, earthly life. The phrase “in the flesh” is retained to preserve the links with 3:18 and 4:1 which use the same wording.
[4:6] 34 tn Grk “according to men.”
[4:6] 35 tn Grk “in spirit,” referring to the heavenly, eternal realm of existence (cf. 3:18).
[4:6] 36 tn Grk “according to God.”
[4:13] 37 tn Grk “in the revelation of his glory.”
[4:13] 38 tn The verb “be glad” is used also in 1:6 and 1:8. The verbs of v. 13b are used together in Matt 5:12 and Rev 19:7.
[4:15] 39 tn The meaning of the Greek word used here is uncertain. It may mean “spy, informer,” “revolutionary,” or “defrauder, embezzler.” But the most likely meaning is “busybody, one who meddles in the affairs of others, troublesome meddler.” The translation given in the text is intended to suggest this general idea.
[5:2] 40 tn Grk “shepherd,” “tend,” “pastor.”

[5:2] 42 tn Or “not under compulsion/coercion.”
[5:2] 43 tn Grk “according to God.”
[5:8] 44 sn This phrase may be an allusion to Ps 22:13.
