1 Petrus 2:1

2:1 So get rid of ¹  all evil and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.

1 Petrus 4:17

4:17 For it is time for judgment to begin, starting with the house ²  of God. And if it starts with us, what will be the fate ³  of those who are disobedient to the gospel of God?

1 Petrus 4:3

4:3 For the time that has passed was sufficient for you to do what the non-Christians ⁴  desire. ⁵  You lived then ⁶  in debauchery, evil desires, drunkenness, carousing, drinking bouts, ⁷  and wanton idolatries. ⁸ 

[2:1]  ¹ tn Or “put away.”

[4:17]  ² tn Grk “to begin from the house.”

[4:17]  ³ tn Or “the end.”

[4:3]  ⁴ tn Grk “the Gentiles,” used here of those who are not God’s people.

[4:3]  ⁵ tn Grk “to accomplish the desire of the Gentiles.”

[4:3]  ⁶ tn Grk “having gone along,” referring to the readers’ behavior in time past.

[4:3]  ⁷ tn According to BDAG 857 s.v. πότος the term refers to a social gathering at which wine is served, hence “drinking parties” (cf. TEV, NASB). However, the collocation with the other terms in v. 4 suggests something less sophisticated and more along the lines of wild and frenzied drinking bouts.

[4:3]  ⁸ tn The Greek words here all occur in the plural to describe their common practice in the past.
