Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: 1Pe 2:23

¹ tn Grk “who being maligned,” continuing the reference to Christ. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

² tn Grk “he did not threaten, but.”

³ sn An allusion to Isa 53:7.

⁴ tn Grk “to the one”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
