2:21-25 While there is no explicit change of address here, the general character of these verses makes them applicable to all believers.
• These verses might incorporate an early Christian hymn or confession about Christ (2:22-25). Its focus is on the redemptive sufferings of Christ in language drawn largely from Isaiah 52:13–53:12.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
εἰς τοῦτο
to this
Here, this refers back to what Peter stated at the end of the previous verse. Believers are called by God to endure suffering while doing what is good. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “to endure suffering when you have done what is good”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
εἰς τοῦτο & ἐκλήθητε
to this & ˱you_all˲_/were/_called
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: “God has called you to this”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐπακολουθήσητε τοῖς ἴχνεσιν αὐτοῦ
˱you_all˲_/may/_follow_after ˱after˲_the steps ˱of˲_him
Peter uses follow in his footsteps to refer to following Jesus’ example about enduring suffering. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you might imitate his behavior”
