1 Peter 4:16

4:16 But if you suffer as a Christian, ¹  do not be ashamed, but glorify ²  God that you bear such a name. ³

1 Peter 1:19

1:19 but by precious blood like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb, namely Christ.

1 Peter 3:6

3:6 like Sarah who obeyed ⁷  Abraham, calling him lord. You become her children ⁸  when you do what is good and have no fear in doing so. ⁹ 

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 ¹⁰  in reverence.

¹ tn The verb is implied by the context but not expressed; Grk “but if as a Christian.”

² tn These are third-person imperatives in Greek (“if [one of you suffers] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed…let him glorify”), but have been translated as second-person verbs since this is smoother English idiom.

³ tn Grk “in this name.”

⁴ tc Many mss, some of them important and early ([א] A P 33 81 323 945 1241 1739 pm bo), add καὶ δυνάμεως (kai dunamew"; “and of power”) here. The shorter reading is supported by Ì⁷² B K L Ψ 049 pm). Although the evidence is evenly divided, the longer reading looks to be an explanatory or liturgical expansion on the text and for this reason should be considered secondary.

⁵ tn Grk “the Spirit of glory and of God.”

⁶ sn A quotation taken from Isa 11:2.

⁷ tn Grk “as Sarah obeyed.”

⁸ tn Grk “whose children you become.”

⁹ tn Grk “doing good and not fearing any intimidation.”

¹⁰ 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).
