[2:7]  ¹ tn Grk “to you who believe is the value,” referring to their perception of the stone in contrast to those who reject (vv. 7b-8). But the expression may also be translated as “to you who believe is this honor,” referring to the lack of shame cited in v. 6b.

[2:7]  ² tn Grk “the value” or “the honor,” but the former is preferred since it comes from the same root as “priceless” in vv. 4, 6, and it is in contrast to the negative estimate of the stone by those who reject (vv. 7b-8).

[2:7]  ³ tn Grk “the head of the corner.”

[2:7]  ⁴ sn A quotation from Ps 118:22 (cf. Matt 21:42; Mark 12:10; Luke 20:17; Acts 4:11).

[5:4]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then” to reflect the logical sequence of events.

[4:1]  ⁹ tc Most mss (א² A P Ï) add ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν (Juper Jhmwn, “for us”); others (א* 69 1505 pc) add ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν (Juper Jumwn, “for you”), the first hand of א also has ἀποθανόντος (apoqanonto", “since he died”) instead of παθόντος (paqonto", “since he suffered”). But the reading without ὑπὲρ ἡ/ὑμῶν best explains the rise of the other readings, for not only is there confusion as to which pronoun belongs here, but the longer readings, being clarifications, are evidently motivated readings. The shortest reading is found in important and early Alexandrian and Western witnesses (Ì⁷² B C Ψ 0285 323 1739) and is strongly preferred.

[4:1]  ¹⁰ sn Has finished with sin. The last sentence in v. 1 may refer to Christ as the one who suffered in the flesh (cf. 2:21, 23; 3:18; 4:1a) and the latter part would then mean, “he has finished dealing with sin.” But it is more likely that it refers to the Christian who suffers unjustly (cf. 2:19-20; 3:14, 17). This shows that he has made a break with sin as vs. 2 describes.

[4:19]  ¹³ tn Grk “in doing good.”

[1:17]  ¹⁷ 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).

[1:14]  ²¹ tn Or “do not be conformed to”; Grk “not being conformed to.”

[1:14]  ²² tn Grk “the former lusts in your ignorance.”

[2:4]  ²⁵ tn Grk “to whom coming…you are built up…” as a continuation of the reference to the Lord in v. 3.

[2:4]  ²⁶ tn Greek emphasizes the contrast between these two phrases more than can be easily expressed in English.

[2:4]  ²⁷ tn Grk “chosen, priceless.”

[4:11]  ²⁹ tn Grk “if anyone speaks – as God’s words.”

[4:11]  ³⁰ tn Or “oracles.”

[4:11]  ³¹ tn Grk “if anyone serves – with strength…”

[4:11]  ³² tn Grk “is/are.”

[2:10]  ³³ tn Grk “who,” continuing the description of the readers from vs. 9. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[2:10]  ³⁴ sn The quotations in v. 10 are from Hos 1:6, 9; 2:23.

[3:16]  ³⁷ tn Grk “but with courtesy and respect,” continuing the command of v. 15. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[3:16]  ³⁸ tn Grk “when you are spoken against.”

[3:1]  ⁴¹ tn Grk “that…they may be won over,” showing the purpose of “being subject” (vs. 1b). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[3:1]  ⁴² tn Grk “by the wives’ behavior.”

[4:3]  ⁴⁵ tn Grk “the Gentiles,” used here of those who are not God’s people.

[4:3]  ⁴⁶ tn Grk “to accomplish the desire of the Gentiles.”

[4:3]  ⁴⁷ tn Grk “having gone along,” referring to the readers’ behavior in time past.

[4:3]  ⁴⁸ tn According to BDAG 857 s.v. πότος the term refers to a social gathering at which wine is served, hence “drinking parties” (cf. TEV, NASB). However, the collocation with the other terms in v. 4 suggests something less sophisticated and more along the lines of wild and frenzied drinking bouts.

[4:3]  ⁴⁹ tn The Greek words here all occur in the plural to describe their common practice in the past.

[4:14]  ⁴⁹ tc Many mss, some of them important and early ([א] A P 33 81 323 945 1241 1739 pm bo), add καὶ δυνάμεως (kai dunamew"; “and of power”) here. The shorter reading is supported by Ì⁷² B K L Ψ 049 pm). Although the evidence is evenly divided, the longer reading looks to be an explanatory or liturgical expansion on the text and for this reason should be considered secondary.

[4:14]  ⁵⁰ tn Grk “the Spirit of glory and of God.”

[4:14]  ⁵¹ sn A quotation taken from Isa 11:2.

[1:12]  ⁵³ tn Grk “to whom [pl.] it was revealed.”
