SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:3–12: Peter praised God for the great hope that he has given us

In this section, Peter praised God for the new life that his readers had received because Jesus Christ rose from the dead. He also praised God for the good things that God has made ready for his people in heaven (1:3–5). These blessings from God cause believers to rejoice, even in times of trouble. They have joy because they know that God is saving their souls (1:6–9). In the final paragraph, Peter reminded his readers of how the Old Testament prophets had earlier prophesied about this salvation. They had foretold that Christ would suffer in order to save people (1:10–12).

Some other headings for this section are:

The hope of eternal life (NLT)

Faith in Christ brings you joy (NET)

A real reason for hope (CEV)

1:5

The BSB has translated 1:3b–5 as one sentence. If such long sentences are not natural in your language, it may be better to start a new sentence here. For example, the NCV says:

God’s power protects you through your faith until salvation is shown to you at the end of time. (NCV)

1:5a

who through faith are shielded by God’s power

who through faith are shielded by God’s power: This is a passive clause. In some languages it may be more natural to use an active clause. For example:

God’s power shields you through your faith

God works powerfully to protect you as you believe in Jesus Christ

through faith: The phrase through faith indicates that faith was the means through which God’s power protected Peter’s readers. In this context the faith that Peter referred to was his readers’ faith in God. Here are some other ways to translate through faith:

because you are trusting him (NLT)

through your faith (NCV)

the power of God operating through your faith (JBP)

faith: The Greek word that the BSB translates as faith refers here to the action of believing and trusting God. In some languages it may be more natural to translate faith as a verb. If that is true in your language, you may also need to say what they believed. They trusted God and believed his promises. Some other ways to translate faith are:

trusted in God

believed in the promises of God

shielded by God’s power: The Greek word that the BSB translates as shielded means “guarded” or “protected.” Some other ways to translate this word include:

kept safe (GNT)

guarded (GW)

protected (NET)

God’s power: It was God himself who protected the believers. He was able to do that because he was powerful. In many languages it may be necessary to make it clear that God himself is the one who would protect them. For example:

God in his strength

the powerful God

Almighty God

1:5b

for the salvation

for: There are two ways to interpret the Greek word that the BSB translates as for:

  1. It introduces the time during which God was protecting them. He would continue to protect them until the time when the final salvation is revealed. For example:

    until salvation is shown to you at the end of time (NCV) (NIV, NJB, NLT, REB, NCV, CEV JBP)

  2. It introduces the purpose for which God was protecting them. God was protecting them in order to save them. For example:

    for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time (RSV) (BSB, GW, KJV, NASB, NET, GNT, RSV)Elliott, page 337, Michaels, page 23, “no longer simply to protect his people.”

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1).This part of the verse begins with the Greek word eis (“into, for, until”). For the third time in this paragraph it introduces a phrase. Some scholars believe that it is connected to the context in two ways:(a) It is the third benefit of the new birth in 1:3. Each of those benefits begin with eis: a living hope (1:3) an inheritance (1:4) salvation (1:5)(b) It is also (and mainly) connected with “shielded” in 1:5a.In many languages it may not be possible to express both of these connections in your translation. If you must choose, it is most important to express the connection with “shielded.” See Beare (page 84). The Greek word does not imply that God would stop protecting his people when the salvation came, but they might not need the same type of protection.

the salvation: The Greek phrase that the BSB literally translates as the salvation refers to being rescued or saved from something harmful or dangerous. A person may be saved from physical dangers such as death or enemies or from spiritual dangers such as sin and its punishment. In this context salvation refers to being saved in the future in heaven. At that time God will deliver believers from all sin and suffering. Then they will have the joyful, eternal life that includes the blessings of the inheritance (1:4). In some languages, it may be necessary to translate salvation as a verb or phrase. For example:

you are saved

you are rescued

God saves/rescues you

God delivers you from all evil

1:5c

that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

that is ready to be revealed: This is a passive clause. In some languages it may be more natural to use an active expression. For example:

that God has prepared to reveal to people

that God has made ready to show you

revealed: In some languages it may not be possible to “reveal” or show something that is not a physical object. If that is true in your language, you may need to use a different expression. For example:

that God will cause everyone to know about

in the last time: The Greek word which the BSB translates as time refers to a time that has a special purpose. The word does not indicate how long that period of time lasts. In this context in the last time refers to the time at the end of this age/world. At that time God’s salvation will be revealed. Some other ways to translate this are:

at the end of time (GW)

at the final point of time (NJB)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τοὺς ἐν δυνάμει Θεοῦ φρουρουμένους

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: τούς ἐν δυνάμει Θεοῦ φρουρουμένους διά πίστεως εἰς σωτηρίαν ἑτοίμην ἀποκαλυφθῆναι ἐν καιρῷ ἐσχάτῳ)

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [the ones whom God is protecting with his power]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

διὰ πίστεως

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: τούς ἐν δυνάμει Θεοῦ φρουρουμένους διά πίστεως εἰς σωτηρίαν ἑτοίμην ἀποκαλυφθῆναι ἐν καιρῷ ἐσχάτῳ)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faith, you can express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [by believing in Jesus]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

εἰς σωτηρίαν

for ˓the˒_salvation

Here, for introduces a purpose clause. Peter is stating a purpose for which God is protecting believers. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a purpose clause. Alternate translation: [for the purpose of giving us a salvation]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς σωτηρίαν ἑτοίμην ἀποκαλυφθῆναι

for ˓the˒_salvation ready ˓to_be˒_revealed

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of salvation, you can express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [for the time when God saves you, which is ready to be revealed]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἑτοίμην ἀποκαλυφθῆναι

ready ˓to_be˒_revealed

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [that God is ready to reveal]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν καιρῷ ἐσχάτῳ

by in ˓the˒_time last

Here, the last time refers to “the day of the Lord,” which is the time when Jesus returns to the world to judge everyone and vindicate those who believe in him. (See: dayofthelord) If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express this explicitly. Alternate translation: [in the last time, when Jesus returns and judges everyone]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

1:5 until you receive this salvation: In the New Testament, salvation often refers to final rescue from sin and death at the time of Christ’s return. This hope encourages believers to persevere to the end (see also 1:9, 10; 2:2; 4:18).
• ready to be revealed: The future revealing of God’s salvation contrasts with the present hiddenness of God and his purposes (see also 1:7, 13).
