TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Christian Suffering

We should not be surprised when suffering comes (1 Pet 4:12). Christians who live a countercultural lifestyle in obedience to God should expect the culture to respond with hostility. We should expect mockery, discrimination, trumped-up charges, and even violence.

God has a purpose for us in suffering: It brings us into fellowship with Christ, who suffered before he was glorified (4:13; see also Rom 8:17). By suffering in fellowship with Christ, we can be confident of enjoying the glory that he has already won.

First Peter focuses heavily on Christian suffering, especially unjust persecution at the hands of people hostile to the faith. The several themes about suffering that are woven throughout the letter find their climactic expression in 4:12-19.

We need to commit ourselves to doing what is right when we face suffering (4:19). Our difficulties can always provide an excuse for sinning, but when difficulties come our way, we must live exemplary lives, characterized by love for others. Our loving response to enemies in the midst of trials can be a powerful opportunity to share our faith. By treating our persecutors with love and kindness, we can make our faith respectable and even attractive to them.

We need to remember in our trials that God is both sovereign and faithful (4:19). He controls all the circumstances of life, and we don’t need to fear that a trial will come our way apart from God’s oversight or will.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐν ᾧ

in which

Here, this could refer to: (1) the “last time” referred to at the end of the previous verse. Alternate translation: “About this last time” (2) everything described in 1:3–5. Alternate translation: “In all of this that I have said”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἐν ᾧ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε

in which ˱you_all˲_/are/_exulting

In here introduces the reason why Peter’s readers rejoice. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “On account of this you greatly rejoice” or “Because of this you greatly rejoice”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

ἄρτι, εἰ δέον λυπηθέντες

now if fitting /having_been/_sorrowed

Peter is speaking as if this were a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might think that what Peter is saying is not certain, then you could translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: “if now it is necessary, and it is, to have been distressed”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὀλίγον ἄρτι, εἰ δέον λυπηθέντες ἐν ποικίλοις πειρασμοῖς

/a/_little now if fitting /having_been/_sorrowed by various trials

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: “if now it is necessary for various trials to distress you a little while”
