TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:4 The language of inheritance frequently refers to what God has promised his people. Originally applied to the land of Israel (see Deut 3:28), the inheritance came to mean the people of God and God’s presence with them (see Ps 33:12; Ezek 44:28). In the New Testament, the inheritance is the spiritual benefit and eternal salvation that God promises to his people (see Eph 1:11; Heb 9:15).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

εἰς κληρονομίαν ἄφθαρτον, καὶ ἀμίαντον, καὶ ἀμάραντον

to /an/_inheritance indestructible and undefiled and unfading

Here, into introduces a purpose clause. Peter is stating a second purpose for which God causes believers to be born again. This clause states what the “living hope” in the previous verse is. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a purpose clause. Alternate translation: “for the purpose of giving us an imperishable and undefiled and unfading inheritance”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς κληρονομίαν ἄφθαρτον, καὶ ἀμίαντον, καὶ ἀμάραντον

to /an/_inheritance indestructible and undefiled and unfading

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word inheritance, you can express the same idea with a verb. Alternate translation: “into what we will inherit that is imperishable and undefiled and unfading”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

κληρονομίαν ἄφθαρτον, καὶ ἀμίαντον, καὶ ἀμάραντον

/an/_inheritance indestructible and undefiled and unfading

Peter uses inheritance to refer to what we will receive in heaven. This could refer to: (1) The promise of God that we will live forever with him. Alternate translation: “a sure and unfailing promise the we will live forever with God” (2) future blessings in heaven after this life. Alternate translation: “imperishable and undefiled and unfading blessings”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τετηρημένην ἐν οὐρανοῖς εἰς ὑμᾶς

/having_been/_kept in /the/_heavens for you_all

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “which God has kept in heaven for you”
