1 Peter 4:16-19

Context
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  4:17 For it is time for judgment to begin, starting with the house 4  of God. And if it starts with us, what will be the fate 5  of those who are disobedient to the gospel of God? 4:18 And if the righteous are barely saved, what will become of 6  the ungodly and sinners? 7  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. 8

[4:16]  1 tn The verb is implied by the context but not expressed; Grk “but if as a Christian.”

[4:16]  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.

[4:16]  3 tn Grk “in this name.”

[4:17]  4 tn Grk “to begin from the house.”

[4:17]  5 tn Or “the end.”

[4:18]  6 tn Grk “where will he appear.”

[4:18]  7 tn The personal references in v. 18 are generic singulars, but they have been changed to the plural in English to maintain consistency with the plurals of v. 17.

[4:19]  8 tn Grk “in doing good.”
