1 Peter 1:17

1:17 And if you address as Father the one who impartially judges according to each one’s work, live out the time of your temporary residence here ¹  in reverence.

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 1:2

1:2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father by being set apart by the Spirit for obedience and for sprinkling ⁶  with Jesus Christ’s blood. May grace and peace be yours in full measure! ⁷ 

1 Peter 3:11

3:11 And he must turn away from evil and do good;

he must seek peace and pursue it.

1 Peter 1:11

1:11 They probed ⁸  into what person or time ⁹  the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating when he testified beforehand about the sufferings appointed for Christ ¹⁰  and his subsequent glory. ¹¹ 

[1:17]  ¹ tn Grk “the time of your sojourn,” picturing the Christian’s life in this world as a temporary stay in a foreign country (cf. 1:1).

[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).

[1:2]  ³ sn For obedience and for sprinkling indicates the purpose of their choice or election by God.

[1:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “be multiplied to you.”

[1:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “probing.” The participle continues the sentence from v. 10 but has been translated as an indicative for English style.

[1:11]  ⁵ tn Or “time or circumstances,” focusing not on the person but on the timing and circumstances of the fulfillment.

[1:11]  ⁶ tn Grk “the sufferings unto Christ,” i.e., sufferings directed toward him, what he was destined to suffer.

[1:11]  ⁷ tn Grk “the glories after these things.”
