ULT And who is the one who will harm you if you become zealous ones of the good?
UST It is unlikely that anyone will harm you if you are eager to do what is good.
BSB § Who can harm you if you are zealous for what is good?
BLB And who is he who will harm you, if you should be zealous for that which is good?
AICNT And who is there to harm you if you are {zealous}[fn] for what is good?
3:13, zealous: Later manuscripts read “imitators.” BYZ TR
OEB ¶ Who, indeed, is there to harm you, if you prove yourselves to be eager for what is good?
WEB Now who will harm you if you become imitators of that which is good?
MSG (13-18)If with heart and soul you’re doing good, do you think you can be stopped? Even if you suffer for it, you’re still better off. Don’t give the opposition a second thought. Through thick and thin, keep your hearts at attention, in adoration before Christ, your Master. Be ready to speak up and tell anyone who asks why you’re living the way you are, and always with the utmost courtesy. Keep a clear conscience before God so that when people throw mud at you, none of it will stick. They’ll end up realizing that they’re the ones who need a bath. It’s better to suffer for doing good, if that’s what God wants, than to be punished for doing bad. That’s what Christ did definitively: suffered because of others’ sins, the Righteous One for the unrighteous ones. He went through it all—was put to death and then made alive—to bring us to God.

3:13 μιμηται ¦ ζηλωται CT
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
3:13 Generally speaking, no one will want to harm someone who is doing good, but sometimes Christians do suffer even when they do good (3:14; see 1:6; 4:12-19).
Connecting Statement:
In 3:13–22 Peter teaches the believers how to behave when unbelievers persecute them.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τίς ὁ κακώσων ὑμᾶς, ἐὰν τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ ζηλωταὶ γένησθε?
who_‹is› the_‹one› /going_to/_mistreat you_all if ˱for˲_the good zealous ˱you_all˲_/may/_become
Peter is not asking for information, but is using the question form here to emphasize that it is unlikely that someone would harm them if they did good things. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “no one will harm you if you become zealous ones of the good”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ ζηλωταὶ
˱for˲_the good zealous
Peter is using the possessive form to describe people who are zealous about doing good deeds. If this is not clear in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “ones zealous to do good deeds”
