3:2 when they see your pure and reverent conduct. ¹ 

1 Peter 2:18

2:18 Slaves, ²  be subject ³  to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are perverse.

1 Peter 1:17

1:17 And if you address as Father the one who impartially judges according to each one’s work, live out the time of your temporary residence here ⁸  in reverence.

3:15 But set Christ ⁹  apart ¹⁰  as Lord in your hearts and always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks about the hope you possess. ¹¹ 

¹ tn Grk “behavior,” the same word translated “the way you live” in vs. 1.

² tn The Greek term here is οἰκέτης (oiketh"), often used of a servant in a household (who would have been a slave).

³ tn Grk “being subject,” but continuing the sense of command from vs. 13.

³ sn The Greek construction here implies that such suffering was not the norm, even though it could happen, and in fact may well have happened to some of the readers (cf. 4:4, 12-19).

⁴ tn Grk “because of righteousness.”

⁵ tn Grk “do not fear their fear,” referring to those who cause their suffering. The phrase “their fear” may mean “what they fear” (subjective genitive), but in a situation of persecution it more likely means “fear of them” (objective genitive).

⁶ sn A quotation from Isa 8:12.

⁴ tn Grk “the time of your sojourn,” picturing the Christian’s life in this world as a temporary stay in a foreign country (cf. 1:1).

⁵ tc Most later mss (P Ï) have θεόν (qeon, “God”) instead of Χριστόν (Criston; “Christ”) here. But Χριστόν is widely supported by excellent and early witnesses (Ì⁷² א A B C Ψ 33 1739 al latt sy co), and as a less common idiom better explains the rise of the other reading.

⁶ tn Or “sanctify Christ as Lord.”

⁷ tn Grk “the hope in you.”
