TSNTyndale Study Notes:

3:6 and called him her master: See Gen 18:12. Peter views this address as indicative of Sarah’s overall attitude toward Abraham.
• without fear of what your husbands might do: Christian wives married to unbelievers frequently found themselves pressured, both subtly and overtly, to abandon Christian principles and values. Peter urges them to continue to do what is right.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἧς ἐγενήθητε τέκνα

˱of˲_whom ˱you_all˲_/were/_become children

Peter uses a Hebrew idiom here in which people are said to be the children of someone who has qualities similar to theirs. Women who believe and who act like Sarah acted are thought of as if they were her actual children. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: [who resemble her as if you were her children]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

μὴ φοβούμεναι μηδεμίαν πτόησιν

not fearing not_one fear

The phrase not being afraid of any translates two negative words in Greek. Peter uses them together to emphasize that believing women should not fear anything at all. If your language can use two negatives together for emphasis without them cancelling each other to create a positive meaning, it would be appropriate to use that construction here.
