Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
δι’ ὧν
through which
Here, which refers both to God’s word and water. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this explicitly. Alternate translation: “through the word of God and water”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὕδατι κατακλυσθεὶς
˱in˲_water /having_been/_flooded
If your language does not use this passive form, you can state this in active form and you can state who did the action. You may need to begin a new sentence. Alternate translation: “God flooded the world with water”
ὁ τότε κόσμος
the then world
Here, at that time refers to the time when the world existed before the flood. It does not refer to the exact time when the universe was created. Alternate translation: “the world that existed then”
ὕδατι κατακλυσθεὶς
˱in˲_water /having_been/_flooded
This phrase indicates the means by which the ancient world was destroyed. Alternate translation: “by having been flooded by water”
3:1-13 Peter shifts from denunciation of false teachers to exhortation of believers. The false teachers’ skepticism about Christ’s return required clear teaching. Christians need to hold onto the apostolic message about the day of judgment and live godly lives in anticipation of that day.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
