TSNTyndale Study Notes:

3:1 accept the authority of (literally submit to): Wives are instructed to acknowledge that God has appointed the husband as head of the relationship (see 2:13; Eph 5:22-25). Submission in the ancient world took the form of obedience (see 1 Pet 3:6). God also intends the husband to be a loving and respectful head (3:7; see Eph 5:25-30). However, Peter focuses especially on wives with pagan husbands who would potentially be hostile toward their wives’ faith.
• without any words: Peter urges Christian wives to evangelize their husbands through their submissive and appropriate behavior.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

General Information:

In 3:1–6 Peter gives instructions specifically to women who are wives.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τινες ἀπειθοῦσιν τῷ λόγῳ

any /are/_disbelieving ˱in˲_the word

Here, being disobedient to the word could refer to: (1) refusing to believe the gospel message, as in 2:8. Alternate translation: “some do not believe the message about Jesus” (2) disobeying the commands God gave in his word. Alternate translation: “some do not obey what God commands in his word”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

κερδηθήσονται

˱they˲_/will_be_being/_won

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: “you will win them”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

κερδηθήσονται

˱they˲_/will_be_being/_won

Here, won is an idiom that means that the unbelieving husbands will become believers in Jesus. If your readers would not understand this, you could use an equivalent idiom or use plain language. Alternate translation: “they will be persuaded to believe in Christ”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἄνευ λόγου

apart_from word

Peter is leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “without you saying a word.”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἄνευ λόγου

apart_from word

Here, word refers to anything the wives might say to their husbands about the gospel message. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “without a word about the gospel”
