[4:16]  ¹ tn The verb is implied by the context but not expressed; Grk “but if as a Christian.”

[4:16]  ² 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]  ³ tn Grk “in this name.”

[4:14]  ⁴ 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]  ⁵ tn Grk “the Spirit of glory and of God.”

[4:14]  ⁶ sn A quotation taken from Isa 11:2.

[3:6]  ⁷ tn Grk “as Sarah obeyed.”

[3:6]  ⁸ tn Grk “whose children you become.”

[3:6]  ⁹ tn Grk “doing good and not fearing any intimidation.”

[1:17]  ¹⁰ 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).
