1 Peter 4:19

4:19 So then let those who suffer according to the will of God entrust their souls to a faithful Creator as they do good. ¹ 

Matthew 26:39

26:39 Going a little farther, he threw himself down with his face to the ground and prayed, ²  “My Father, if possible, ³  let this cup ⁴  pass from me! Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

Matthew 26:42

26:42 He went away a second time and prayed, ⁵  “My Father, if this cup ⁶  cannot be taken away unless I drink it, your will must be done.”

Acts 21:14

21:14 Because he could not be persuaded, ⁷  we said no more except, ⁸  “The Lord’s will be done.” ⁹ 

¹ tn Grk “in doing good.”

² tn Grk “ground, praying and saying.” Here the participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

³ tn Grk “if it is possible.”

⁴ sn This cup alludes to the wrath of God that Jesus would experience (in the form of suffering and death) for us. See Ps 11:6; 75:8-9; Isa 51:17, 19, 22 for this figure.

⁵ tn Grk “saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant here in contemporary English and has not been translated.

⁶ tn Grk “this”; the referent (the cup) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁷ tn The participle πειθομένου (peiqomenou) in this genitive absolute construction has been translated as a causal adverbial participle.

⁸ tn Grk “we became silent, saying.”

⁹ sn “The Lord’s will be done.” Since no one knew exactly what would happen, the matter was left in the Lord’s hands.
