1 Peter 1:4

1:4 that is, ¹  into ²  an inheritance imperishable, undefiled, and unfading. It is reserved in heaven for you,

1 Peter 1:23

1:23 You have been born anew, not from perishable but from imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God.

1 Peter 3:4

3:4 but the inner person ³  of the heart, the lasting beauty of a gentle and tranquil spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.

¹ 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.

² tn Grk “into,” continuing the description of v. 3 without an “and.”

³ 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.
