1 Peter 1:12

1:12 They were shown ¹  that they were serving not themselves but you, in regard to the things now announced to you through those who proclaimed the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven – things angels long to catch a glimpse of.

1 Peter 2:12

2:12 and maintain good conduct ²  among the non-Christians, ³  so that though ⁴  they now malign you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God when he appears. ⁵ 

1 Peter 4:17

4:17 For it is time for judgment to begin, starting with the house ⁶  of God. And if it starts with us, what will be the fate ⁷  of those who are disobedient to the gospel of God?

[1:12]  ¹ tn Grk “to whom [pl.] it was revealed.”

[2:12]  ² tn Grk “keeping your conduct good.”

[2:12]  ³ tn Grk “the Gentiles,” used here of those who are not God’s people.

[2:12]  ⁴ tn Grk “in order that in what they malign you.”

[2:12]  ⁵ tn Or “when he visits.” Grk “in the day of visitation,” denoting a time when God intervenes directly in human affairs, either for blessing (Luke 1:68, 78; 7:16; 19:44) or for judgment (Isa 10:3; Jer 6:15). This phrase may be a quotation from Isa 10:3, in which case judgment is in view here. But blessing seems to be the point, since part of the motive for good behavior is winning the non-Christian over to the faith (as in 3:1; also apparently in 3:15; cf. Matt 5:16).

[4:17]  ³ tn Grk “to begin from the house.”

[4:17]  ⁴ tn Or “the end.”
