1 Peter 1:6

1:6 This brings you great joy, ¹  although you may have to suffer ²  for a short time in various trials.

1:10 Concerning this salvation, ³  the prophets ⁴  who predicted the grace that would come to you ⁵  searched and investigated carefully.

1 Peter 3:22

[1:6]  ¹ tn Grk “in which you exult.”

[1:6]  ² tc ‡ The oldest and best witnesses lack the verb (א* B, along with 1505 pc), but most mss (Ì⁷² א² A C P Ψ 048 33 1739 Ï) have ἐστίν here (estin, “[if] it is [necessary]”). The verb looks to be an explanatory gloss. But if no verb is present, this opens up the time frame in the author’s mind even more, since the conditional particle for both the first class condition and the fourth class condition is εἰ (ei). That may well be what was on the author’s mind, as evidenced by some of his other allusions to suffering in this little letter (3:14, 17). NA²⁷ has the verb in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.

[1:10]  ³ tn Grk “about which salvation.”

[1:10]  ⁴ sn Prophets refers to the OT prophets.

[1:10]  ⁵ tn Grk “who prophesied about the grace that is to/for you.”

[3:22]  ⁵ tn Grk “who is at the right hand…having gone into heaven.”

[3:22]  ⁶ tn Grk “angels…having been subjected to him.”
