TSNTyndale Study Notes:

8:9-24 Simon the sorcerer was a showman, dazzling the people of Samaria and making self-exalting claims. Simon’s attempt to obtain spiritual power through payment gave the name simony to the later corrupt practice of buying and selling ordination to church leadership (cp. 1 Tim 6:9-10). Peter strongly rebuked Simon’s wickedness.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

εἰς & χολὴν πικρίας

in & /the/_gall ˱of˲_bitterness

The gall plant has a bitter taste and is poisonous. If your readers would not be familiar with this plant, you could use the name of a similar plant in your area.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

εἰς & χολὴν πικρίας

in & /the/_gall ˱of˲_bitterness

Peter is using the gall plant by association to mean “poison.” Alternate translation: “in the poison of bitterness”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

εἰς & χολὴν πικρίας

in & /the/_gall ˱of˲_bitterness

Peter is describing bitterness as if it were made of gall or poison. He means that bitterness, here in the sense of envy, spiritually poisons a person, that is, it leads them towards spiritual death. Alternate translation: “dangerously envious”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

σύνδεσμον ἀδικίας

/the/_bond ˱of˲_unrighteousness

Peter speaks of the bond of unrighteousness as if unrighteousness were restraining Simon and keeping him a prisoner. He means Simon is not able to stop himself from sinning. Alternate translation: “unable to stop sinning”
