1 Peter 3:7

3:7 Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as the weaker partners ¹  and show them honor as fellow heirs of the grace of life. In this way nothing will hinder your prayers. ² 

1 Peter 3:15

3:15 But set Christ ³  apart ⁴  as Lord in your hearts and always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks about the hope you possess. ⁵ 

1 Peter 4:17

4:17 For it is time for judgment to begin, starting with the house ⁶  of God. And if it starts with us, what will be the fate ⁷  of those who are disobedient to the gospel of God?

¹ tn Grk “living together according to knowledge, as to the weaker, female vessel.” The primary verbs of vs. 7 are participles (“living together…showing honor”) but they continue the sense of command from the previous paragraphs.

² tn Grk “so that your prayers may not be hindered.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek, this clause was translated as a separate sentence.

³ 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.

⁴ tn Or “sanctify Christ as Lord.”

⁵ tn Grk “the hope in you.”

⁵ tn Grk “to begin from the house.”

⁶ tn Or “the end.”
