1 Petrus 1:24

1:24 For

all flesh ¹  is like grass

and all its glory like the flower of the grass; ² 

the grass withers and the flower falls off,

1 Petrus 5:4

5:4 Then ³  when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that never fades away.

1 Petrus 1:4

1:4 that is, ⁴  into ⁵  an inheritance imperishable, undefiled, and unfading. It is reserved in heaven for you,

[1:24]  ¹ sn Here all flesh is a metaphor for humanity – human beings as both frail and temporary.

[1:24]  ² tn Or “a wildflower.”

[5:4]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then” to reflect the logical sequence of events.

[1:4]  ⁴ tn The phrase “that is” is supplied in the translation to indicate that the imperishable inheritance is in apposition to the living hope of v. 3.

[1:4]  ⁵ tn Grk “into,” continuing the description of v. 3 without an “and.”
