OET interlinear 1PET 2:19

uW Translation Notes:

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”
