[2:19]  ¹ tn Grk “For this [is] favor/grace,” used as a metonymy of that which pleases him, which he looks on with favor (cf. BDAG 1079 s.v. χάρις 2). Cf. 1 Pet 2:20.

[2:19]  ² tc The expression “consciousness/conscience of God” (συνείδησιν θεοῦ; suneidhsin qeou) is unusual, occurring only here in the NT. Because θεοῦ was liable to misinterpretation, several witnesses altered the text, either replacing it with ἀγαθήν (agaqhn; C Ψ 323 614 630 945 1241 1505 1739 al sy) or expanding the expression by adding ἀγαθήν before θεοῦ (Ì⁷² [A* 33] 81). Replacing θεοῦ with ἀγαθήν conforms to other NT phrases, notably in this same letter (Acts 23:1; 1 Tim 1:5, 19; 1 Pet 3:16, 21), suggesting that such a reading is motivated. The reading θεοῦ, however, has superior support (א A^c B P 049 Ï lat co), and best explains the rise of the other readings.

[4:18]  ³ tn Grk “where will he appear.”

[4:18]  ⁴ tn The personal references in v. 18 are generic singulars, but they have been changed to the plural in English to maintain consistency with the plurals of v. 17.

[2:13]  ⁵ tn Or “every human being”; Grk “every human creation,” denoting either everything created for mankind (NRSV mg: “every institution ordained for human beings”) or every creature who is human. The meaning of the verb “be subject” and the following context supports the rendering adopted in the text.

[1:24]  ⁷ sn Here all flesh is a metaphor for humanity – human beings as both frail and temporary.

[1:24]  ⁸ tn Or “a wildflower.”

[3:4]  ⁹ tn Grk “the hidden man.” KJV’s “the hidden man of the heart,” referring to a wife, could be seriously misunderstood by the modern English reader.

[1:17]  ¹¹ 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).

[4:16]  ¹³ tn The verb is implied by the context but not expressed; Grk “but if as a Christian.”

[4:16]  ¹⁴ tn These are third-person imperatives in Greek (“if [one of you suffers] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed…let him glorify”), but have been translated as second-person verbs since this is smoother English idiom.

[4:16]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “in this name.”

[4:11]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “if anyone speaks – as God’s words.”

[4:11]  ¹⁶ tn Or “oracles.”

[4:11]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “if anyone serves – with strength…”

[4:11]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “is/are.”

[3:10]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “stop.”

[4:10]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “serving it to one another.” The primary verb is a participle but it continues the sense of command from v. 7.

[2:6]  ²¹ tn Grk “it contains,” “it stands.”

[2:6]  ²² tn Grk “chosen, priceless.”

[2:6]  ²³ tn Grk “the one who believes.”

[2:6]  ²⁴ tn Grk either “in him” or “in it,” but the OT and NT uses personify the stone as the King, the Messiah whom God will establish in Jerusalem.

[2:6]  ²⁵ tn The negative (οὐ μή, ou mh) is emphatic: “will certainly not.”

[2:6]  ²⁶ sn A quotation from Isa 28:16.

[3:15]  ²³ 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]  ²⁴ tn Or “sanctify Christ as Lord.”

[3:15]  ²⁵ tn Grk “the hope in you.”
