[2:12]  1 tn Grk “keeping your conduct good.”

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

[2:12]  3 tn Grk “in order that in what they malign you.”

[2:12]  4 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).

[3:15]  5 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]  6 tn Or “sanctify Christ as Lord.”

[3:15]  7 tn Grk “the hope in you.”
