1 Peter 1:5

1:5 who by God’s power are protected through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

1 Peter 3:14

3:14 But in fact, if you happen to suffer ¹  for doing what is right, ²  you are blessed. But do not be terrified of them ³  or be shaken. ⁴ 

[3:14]  ¹ sn The Greek construction here implies that such suffering was not the norm, even though it could happen, and in fact may well have happened to some of the readers (cf. 4:4, 12-19).

[3:14]  ² tn Grk “because of righteousness.”

[3:14]  ³ tn Grk “do not fear their fear,” referring to those who cause their suffering. The phrase “their fear” may mean “what they fear” (subjective genitive), but in a situation of persecution it more likely means “fear of them” (objective genitive).

[3:14]  ⁴ sn A quotation from Isa 8:12.
