OET interlinear 1PET 2:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὖν

therefore

Therefore here refers back to everything that Peter has said in the previous paragraph (1:22–25).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

ἀποθέμενοι & πᾶσαν κακίαν, καὶ πάντα δόλον, καὶ ὑποκρίσεις, καὶ φθόνους, καὶ πάσας καταλαλιάς

/having/_put_away & all malice and all deceit and hypocrisies and envies and all slanders

This clause indicates a command in addition to the command to “long for pure spiritual milk” that occurs next in the verse. If this is confusing in your language, you can use a more natural form for a command. Alternate translation: “put aside all evil and all deceit and hypocrisies and envies and all slanders”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀποθέμενοι & πᾶσαν κακίαν, καὶ πάντα δόλον, καὶ ὑποκρίσεις, καὶ φθόνους, καὶ πάσας καταλαλιάς

/having/_put_away & all malice and all deceit and hypocrisies and envies and all slanders

Peter speaks of these sinful actions as if they were objects that people could put aside the way people remove dirty clothing. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “having stopped being evil or being deceptive or being hypocritical or being envious or speaking slander”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἀποθέμενοι & πᾶσαν κακίαν, καὶ πάντα δόλον, καὶ ὑποκρίσεις, καὶ φθόνους, καὶ πάσας καταλαλιάς

/having/_put_away & all malice and all deceit and hypocrisies and envies and all slanders

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of evil, deceit, hypocrisies, envies, or slanders, you can express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “having put aside every kind of evil and all deceitful, hypocritical, deceptive, and slanderous acts”
