[1:20]  1 tn Grk “who was foreknown,” describing Christ in v. 19. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[1:20]  2 tn Greek emphasizes the contrast between these two clauses more than can be easily expressed in English.

[1:20]  3 tn Grk “at the last of the times.”

[5:3]  4 tn Grk “not as lording it over…but being examples.” The participles continue the command of v. 2 by describing how the shepherding should be carried out.

[5:3]  5 tn Grk “the ones allotted,” referring to those God has given over to their care.

[2:15]  7 tn Grk “because thus it is God’s will.”

[2:25]  10 sn A quotation from Isa 53:6.

[3:1]  13 tn Grk “that…they may be won over,” showing the purpose of “being subject” (vs. 1b). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[3:1]  14 tn Grk “by the wives’ behavior.”

[4:3]  16 tn Grk “the Gentiles,” used here of those who are not God’s people.

[4:3]  17 tn Grk “to accomplish the desire of the Gentiles.”

[4:3]  18 tn Grk “having gone along,” referring to the readers’ behavior in time past.

[4:3]  19 tn According to BDAG 857 s.v. πότος the term refers to a social gathering at which wine is served, hence “drinking parties” (cf. TEV, NASB). However, the collocation with the other terms in v. 4 suggests something less sophisticated and more along the lines of wild and frenzied drinking bouts.

[4:3]  20 tn The Greek words here all occur in the plural to describe their common practice in the past.

[5:9]  19 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]  20 tn Grk “knowing,” a participle that usually denotes a reason for the related action.

[5:9]  21 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]  22 tn Grk “your brotherhood in the world,” referring to the Christian community worldwide.

[5:9]  23 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]  24 tn Grk “the same things of sufferings.”

[1:12]  22 tn Grk “to whom [pl.] it was revealed.”

[2:12]  25 tn Grk “keeping your conduct good.”

[2:12]  26 tn Grk “the Gentiles,” used here of those who are not God’s people.

[2:12]  27 tn Grk “in order that in what they malign you.”

[2:12]  28 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]  28 tn Grk “to begin from the house.”

[4:17]  29 tn Or “the end.”

[4:11]  31 tn Grk “if anyone speaks – as God’s words.”

[4:11]  32 tn Or “oracles.”

[4:11]  33 tn Grk “if anyone serves – with strength…”

[4:11]  34 tn Grk “is/are.”
