1 Petrus 3:10

3:10 For

the one who wants to love life and see good days must keep ¹  his tongue from evil and his lips from uttering deceit.

1 Petrus 4:4

4:4 So ²  they are astonished ³  when you do not rush with them into the same flood of wickedness, and they vilify you. ⁴ 

[3:10]  ¹ tn Grk “stop.”

[4:4]  ² tn Grk “in/by which,” referring to the change of behavior described in v. 3. The unbelievers are astonished by the readers’ moral transformation. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[4:4]  ³ tn Or “are surprised, are taken aback.” The same verb occurs in 4:12.

[4:4]  ⁴ tn Grk “blaspheming,” giving the result of their astonishment. Here the target of their “blasphemy/vilification” is not God but the Christian.
