all flesh ⁵  is like grass

the grass withers and the flower falls off,

1 Peter 2:5-6

2:5 you yourselves, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood and to offer ⁷  spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 2:6 For it says ⁸  in scripture, “Look, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and priceless cornerstone, ⁹  and whoever believes ¹⁰  in him ¹¹  will never ¹²  be put to shame.” ¹³

[1:11]  ¹ tn Grk “probing.” The participle continues the sentence from v. 10 but has been translated as an indicative for English style.

[1:11]  ² tn Or “time or circumstances,” focusing not on the person but on the timing and circumstances of the fulfillment.

[1:11]  ³ tn Grk “the sufferings unto Christ,” i.e., sufferings directed toward him, what he was destined to suffer.

[1:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “the glories after these things.”

[1:24]  ⁵ sn Here all flesh is a metaphor for humanity – human beings as both frail and temporary.

[1:24]  ⁶ tn Or “a wildflower.”

[2:5]  ⁹ tn Grk “unto a holy priesthood to offer.”

[2:6]  ¹³ tn Grk “it contains,” “it stands.”

[2:6]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “chosen, priceless.”

[2:6]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “the one who believes.”

[2:6]  ¹⁶ tn Grk either “in him” or “in it,” but the OT and NT uses personify the stone as the King, the Messiah whom God will establish in Jerusalem.

[2:6]  ¹⁷ tn The negative (οὐ μή, ou mh) is emphatic: “will certainly not.”

[2:6]  ¹⁸ sn A quotation from Isa 28:16.

[3:6]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “as Sarah obeyed.”

[3:6]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “whose children you become.”

[3:6]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “doing good and not fearing any intimidation.”

[4:1]  ²¹ tc Most mss (א² A P Ï) add ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν (Juper Jhmwn, “for us”); others (א* 69 1505 pc) add ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν (Juper Jumwn, “for you”), the first hand of א also has ἀποθανόντος (apoqanonto", “since he died”) instead of παθόντος (paqonto", “since he suffered”). But the reading without ὑπὲρ ἡ/ὑμῶν best explains the rise of the other readings, for not only is there confusion as to which pronoun belongs here, but the longer readings, being clarifications, are evidently motivated readings. The shortest reading is found in important and early Alexandrian and Western witnesses (Ì⁷² B C Ψ 0285 323 1739) and is strongly preferred.

[4:1]  ²² sn Has finished with sin. The last sentence in v. 1 may refer to Christ as the one who suffered in the flesh (cf. 2:21, 23; 3:18; 4:1a) and the latter part would then mean, “he has finished dealing with sin.” But it is more likely that it refers to the Christian who suffers unjustly (cf. 2:19-20; 3:14, 17). This shows that he has made a break with sin as vs. 2 describes.

[4:13]  ²⁵ tn Grk “in the revelation of his glory.”

[4:13]  ²⁶ tn The verb “be glad” is used also in 1:6 and 1:8. The verbs of v. 13b are used together in Matt 5:12 and Rev 19:7.

[5:9]  ²⁹ tn Grk “whom,” referring to the devil in v. 8. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[5:9]  ³⁰ tn Grk “knowing,” a participle that usually denotes a reason for the related action.

[5:9]  ³¹ tn Grk “your brotherhood.” The Greek term “brotherhood” is used in a broad sense to connote familial relationships within the family of God (cf. BDAG 19 s.v. ἀδελφότης 1). Another alternative translation would be “your fellow believers,” though this would weaken the familial connotations. This same word occurs in 2:17; there it has been translated “family of believers.”

[5:9]  ³² tn Grk “your brotherhood in the world,” referring to the Christian community worldwide.

[5:9]  ³³ tn This verb carries the nuance “to accomplish, complete,” emphasizing their faithful endurance in suffering. The verb is passive in Greek (“suffering is being endured by your brotherhood”), but has been translated as an active to give a smoother English style.

[5:9]  ³⁴ tn Grk “the same things of sufferings.”
