Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:1–12: Christ is the cornerstone and believers are his holy people

In this section Peter used illustrations from the Old Testament to describe how important Christ was and how holy Christians should be. Christ was like the most important stone in a building. Christians belong to him and so should live holy lives.

Some other headings for this section are:

Live as God’s Chosen People (GW)

A Living Stone and a Holy People (CEV)

2:1

Peter had just explained to his readers that God had caused them to be born again through his eternal word (1:23–25). Therefore, sin should not have any place in their lives.

2:1a

Rid yourselves, therefore, of

¶ Therefore, you should refrain completely from
¶ Since you have been born again as God’s children, you should never

Rid yourselves: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Rid yourselves was used in a variety of ways. People used this word to speak of taking off old clothing and of removing dirt from the body. Peter meant that his readers were to be completely finished with the sins he was about to list. They were not to act like this any more.

Some other ways you may be able to translate this verb include:

avoid doing

refrain completely from doing

do not even consider doing

therefore: The Greek word that the BSB translates as therefore signals that what Peter was about to write followed from something he had already written. Most likely, it follows from what Peter wrote in 1:22–25 concerning his readers having been born again through the living and enduring word of God. You may be able to say something like:

Because of this, rid yourselves

Since you have been born again through God’s word, rid yourselves

See how you translated “Therefore” in 1:13a.

2:1b–c

malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander: There are two ways of interpreting the relationship of the Greek word that the BSB translates as malice to the rest of the list:

Malice refers to hostile attitudes and behavior towards other people; it is a specific sin, like the others in the list. For example:
spite (NJB) (BSB, KJV, CEV, NASB, RSV, NJB, NIV, NLT)
Malice refers to evil in general and summarizes the specific sins that follow. For example:
evil (GNT) (REB, NET, GW, NCV, GNT)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1). See the notes below for more information on each of these words.

2:1b

all malice, deceit,

doing anything malicious, and from deceiving people in any way,
do anything to harm other people, or lie to trick them.

all: In this context, the Greek word that the BSB twice translates as all means “any and every” or “all kinds of.” Peter actually uses this word three times in this list, for emphasis. Some translations show this. For example:

all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander (ESV)

malice: The word malice refers to having the desire to hurt other people or to see others suffer. In some languages it may be necessary to translate abstract nouns such as malice as verb phrases:

being hateful (CEV)

hurting/harming other people

deceit: The Greek word that the BSB translates as deceit refers to such as craftiness, treachery, and telling lies in order to trick people. Other ways to translate the word deceit include:

deception (GW)

lying (NCV)

deceiving people

2:1c

hypocrisy, envy, and slander.

from lying about yourself, from jealousy, and from any speaking evil about others.
You should never pretend to be different/better than you really are, or envy others, or speak unkindlyabout them.

hypocrisy: The Greek word that the BSB translates as hypocrisy means pretending to be something other than what you really are. This word could also be used of an insincere person.

If your language does not use abstract nouns such as hypocrisy, then you may be able to translate this as:

Do not lie about yourself

You should not pretend to be different/better than you really are

Never be insincere

envy: The Greek word that the BSB translates as envy refers to resenting or hating someone else because of their greater possessions, abilities, or status. It can also be translated as:

jealousy (GW)

slander: The Greek word that the BSB translates as slander means to say something untrue about a person in order to hurt him. Other ways to translate this word include:

lying about someone

defame/defamation

insulting language (GNT)

οὖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποθέμενοι Οὖν πασᾶν κακίαν καί παντᾶ δόλον καί ὑποκρίσεις καί φθόνους καί πάσας καταλαλιάς)

Therefore here refers back to everything that Peter has said in the previous paragraph ([1:22–25](../01/22.md)).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

ἀποθέμενοι & πᾶσαν κακίαν, καὶ πάντα δόλον, καὶ ὑποκρίσεις, καὶ φθόνους, καὶ πάσας καταλαλιάς

˓having˒_put_away & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποθέμενοι Οὖν πασᾶν κακίαν καί παντᾶ δόλον καί ὑποκρίσεις καί φθόνους καί πάσας καταλαλιάς)

This clause indicates a command in addition to the command to “long for pure spiritual milk” that occurs next in the verse. If this is confusing in your language, you can use a more natural form for a command. Alternate translation: [put aside all evil and all deceit and hypocrisies and envies and all slanders]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀποθέμενοι & πᾶσαν κακίαν, καὶ πάντα δόλον, καὶ ὑποκρίσεις, καὶ φθόνους, καὶ πάσας καταλαλιάς

Peter speaks of these sinful actions as if they were objects that people could put aside the way people remove dirty clothing. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [having stopped being evil or being deceptive or being hypocritical or being envious or speaking slander]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἀποθέμενοι & πᾶσαν κακίαν, καὶ πάντα δόλον, καὶ ὑποκρίσεις, καὶ φθόνους, καὶ πάσας καταλαλιάς

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of evil, deceit, hypocrisies, envies, or slanders, you can express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [having put aside every kind of evil and all deceitful, hypocritical, deceptive, and slanderous acts]
