SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:13–25: God’s people should respect the rulers/chiefs of this world

In this section Peter explained in what way his readers should live good lives among their pagan neighbors. They should respect and obey their rulers, including those who ruled locally in the village or town and those who ruled the country. They should also respect and obey the chief ruler of all, the emperor of Rome. God had given these people authority to punish people who do evil and praise those who do good.

Some other headings for this section are:

Respect the Authority of Others (GW)

Submission to Rulers and Masters (NIV)

2:14a

or to governors as those sent by him

or: Peter wanted his readers to be subject to both the king and his governors. So in some languages it may be more natural to say:

and

governors: The word governors refers to officials whom the emperor put in charge of areas or provinces. As his representatives, they acted as the highest magistrates in the districts where they served.They were known by the titles of legates, procurators, and proconsuls.

as those sent by him: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as as those sent by him suggests that the governors were the emperor’s representatives and that this was the reason why people should be subject to them. Here is another way to translate this phrase:

as his deputies (REB)

This is a passive clause. In some languages it may be natural to translate it as active:

whom he sends/appoints

2:14b

to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.

This verse part gives two reasons why the emperor appointed governors. It makes clear what the emperor wanted the governors to do.

to punish those who do wrong: This clause refers to the legal treatment of criminals. Use terms appropriate for a judge sentencing lawbreakers. Here is another way to translate this phrase:

punish criminals (CEV)

to praise those who do right: Peter expected that civil rulers would recognize and approve of good deeds. Here is another way to translate this phrase:

praise good citizens (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

ἡγεμόσιν ὡς δι’ αὐτοῦ πεμπομένοις

˱to˲_governors as by him ˓being˒_sent

Alternate translation: [to governors, who have been sent through him]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

δι’ αὐτοῦ πεμπομένοις

by him ˓being˒_sent

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: [whom the king has sent]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

δι’ αὐτοῦ πεμπομένοις

by him ˓being˒_sent

Here, him could refer to: (1) the king mentioned in the previous verse, as in the UST. (2) God, who is the one who installs and removes all governing authorities. Alternate translation: [those being sent by God]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς ἐκδίκησιν κακοποιῶν, ἔπαινον δὲ ἀγαθοποιῶν

for vengeance ˱to˲_evildoers praise (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἴτε ἡγεμόσιν ὡς διʼ αὐτοῦ πεμπομένοις εἰς ἐκδίκησιν κακοποιῶν ἔπαινον δέ ἀγαθοποιῶν)

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of punishment and praise, you can express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [to punish evildoers and praise those who do good]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:14 to punish those who do wrong and honor those who do right: Cp. Rom 13:3-4.
