[2:4]  1 tn Grk “to whom coming…you are built up…” as a continuation of the reference to the Lord in v. 3.

[2:4]  2 tn Greek emphasizes the contrast between these two phrases more than can be easily expressed in English.

[2:4]  3 tn Grk “chosen, priceless.”

[4:12]  4 tn Or “do not be surprised, taken aback.” The same verb occurs in 4:4.

[4:12]  5 tn Grk “at the burning among you, occurring to you for testing.”

[3:15]  7 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]  8 tn Or “sanctify Christ as Lord.”

[3:15]  9 tn Grk “the hope in you.”
