ἀγαθοποιοῦντας & κακοποιοῦντας
doing_good & doing_evil

if /might_be/_willing_‹it› the will ¬the ˱of˲_God
Peter uses the will of God to refer to God himself. If your readers would not understand this, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “if God wills”
3:13-17 This short paragraph emphasizes the Christian response to suffering—following Christ’s example (3:18).
