Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τοῦτο & χάρις
this & /a/_favor_‹is›
Peter assumes that his readers will know that he is referring to finding favor with God, which is what he states in the next verse. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: [this is deserving of God’s favor] or [this is pleasing to God]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
διὰ συνείδησιν Θεοῦ
because_of conscience ˱of˲_God
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of consciousness, you can express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [because one is aware of God]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
διὰ συνείδησιν Θεοῦ
because_of conscience ˱of˲_God
Peter is using the possessive form to describe consciousness that is about or concerning God. If this is not clear in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: [because of having consciousness about God]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
Θεοῦ
˱of˲_God
Here, God refers to who God is and what he requires from his people. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [because of consciousness of who God is and what he requires]
2:18-20 The slave was legally bound and could not change his or her master, whereas the modern employee has the right to stop working for a cruel employer. Of course, some employees may not be able to change their situation, in which case Peter’s advice to slaves is very applicable to employees today.
