Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μὴ ἀποδιδόντες κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ, ἢ λοιδορίαν ἀντὶ λοιδορίας

not giving_back evil for evil or insult for insult

Peter uses paying back to refer to responding to the actions of another person as if one was returning money to that person for those actions. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [not doing evil to someone who does evil to you or insulting someone who insults you]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

εὐλογοῦντες

blessing

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 earlier in the verse. Alternate translation: [blessing those who do evil to you or insult you]

Note 3 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 called you to this]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰς τοῦτο ἐκλήθητε, ἵνα

to this ˱you_all˲_˓were˒_called in_order_that

Here, this could refer to: (1) blessing earlier in the verse. Alternate translation: [you were called to bless so that] (2) inherit a blessing later in the verse “to this you were called so that”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἵνα εὐλογίαν κληρονομήσητε

in_order_that blessing ˱you_all˲_˓may˒_inherit

Peter speaks of experiencing God’s blessing as if one is receiving an inheritance. If this might confuse your readers, you could express it plainly. Alternate translation: [so that you might experience God’s blessing as your permanent possession]
