1 Peter 4:5

4:5 They will face a reckoning before Jesus Christ who stands ready to judge the living and the dead.

1 Peter 3:15

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

tn Grk “give an account to.”

tn Grk “the one”; the referent (Jesus Christ) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

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.

tn Or “sanctify Christ as Lord.”

tn Grk “the hope in you.”
