1 Peter 1:13

1:13 Therefore, get your minds ready for action ¹  by being fully sober, and set your hope ²  completely on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed. ³ 

1 Peter 3:20

3:20 after they were disobedient long ago ⁴  when God patiently waited ⁵  in the days of Noah as an ark was being constructed. In the ark ⁶  a few, that is eight souls, were delivered through water.

1 Peter 3:15

3:15 But set Christ ⁷  apart ⁸  as Lord in your hearts and always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks about the hope you possess. ⁹ 

1 Peter 1:10

1:10 Concerning this salvation, ¹⁰  the prophets ¹¹  who predicted the grace that would come to you ¹²  searched and investigated carefully.

[1:13]  ¹ tn Grk “binding up the loins of your mind,” a figure of speech drawn from the Middle Eastern practice of gathering up long robes around the waist to prepare for work or action.

[1:13]  ² tn Grk “having bound up…, being sober, set your hope…”

[1:13]  ³ tn Grk “at the revelation of Jesus Christ” (cf. v. 7).

[3:20]  ⁴ tn This reflects a Greek participle, literally “having been disobedient formerly,” that refers to the “spirits” in v. 19. Many translations take this as adjectival describing the spirits (“who had once been disobedient”; cf. NASB, NIV, NKJV, NLT, NRSV, TEV), but the grammatical construction strongly favors an adverbial interpretation describing the time of the preaching, as reflected above.

[3:20]  ⁵ tn Grk “the patience of God waited.”

[3:20]  ⁶ tn Grk “in which,” referring to the ark; the referent (the ark) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[3:15]  ⁷ 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.

[3:15]  ⁸ tn Or “sanctify Christ as Lord.”

[3:15]  ⁹ tn Grk “the hope in you.”

[1:10]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “about which salvation.”

[1:10]  ¹¹ sn Prophets refers to the OT prophets.

[1:10]  ¹² tn Grk “who prophesied about the grace that is to/for you.”
