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 4:12–19: Suffering for being a Christian

In this section, Peter reminds his readers that as Christians they should expect to suffer because Christ also suffered. He explained that it is a blessing to be insulted for following Christ. He also reminded them that a time of judgment was coming. Some other headings for this section include:

Suffering as Christ suffered

Your attitude when you suffer

4:13a

But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ,

Instead, be happy to the extent that you are suffering as Christ suffered,
Rather, you should be joyful insofar as you are taking part in the sufferings that Christ experienced.

But: The Greek word that the BSB translates as But introduces a contrast. Peter’s readers were to rejoice instead of being unpleasantly surprised. Here is another way to translate this word:

Rather (GNT)

rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ is literally “rejoice to the extent that you share in the sufferings of Christ.”

rejoice: The Greek word that the BSB translates as rejoice is a strong word that can be translated as “leap/dance for joy.” See 1:6a, where the same word occurs and is translated as:

greatly rejoice

share in the sufferings of Christ: Believers were to some extent suffering in the same way that Christ suffered. However, believers cannot completely suffer as Christ did. To the extent that believers do suffer as Christ did, they should be glad.

Some other ways this phrase has been translated include:

rejoice in so far as you share in Christ’s suffering (RSV)

be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering (NLT)

Be glad for the chance to suffer as Christ suffered. (CEV)

4:13b

so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory.

in order that, on the day when all people will see his glory, you will rejoice very much.
Then you will be able to know even greater joy when he appears in his glory.

so that you may be overjoyed: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as you may be overjoyed is literally “you may rejoice, being glad.” This double verb intensifies the idea that the believers were to have great joy. Some other ways overjoyed has been translated are:

full of joy (GW)

wonderful joy (NLT)

at the revelation of His glory: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as at the revelation of His glory refers to the time when Christ will return to the earth and everyone will see his glory. The same word for “revelation” is used in 1:7e.

glory: The Greek word that the BSB translates as glory refers to a shining brightness. This represented God’s holiness and majesty. Such glory often accompanied the appearance of God or his angels to people. Some other ways to translate glory are:

greatness

majesty

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν τῇ ἀποκαλύψει τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ

in the revelation ˱of˲_the glory ˱of˲_him

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of revelation and glory, you can express the same ideas in another way. This phrase could mean: (1) Christ will reveal his own glory. Alternate translation: [when he reveals how glorious he is] (2) God will reveal Christ’s glory. Alternate translation: [when God reveals how glorious Christ is]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν τῇ ἀποκαλύψει τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ

in the revelation ˱of˲_the glory ˱of˲_him

Here, the revelation of his glory refers to the time in the future when Jesus returns to earth and judges everyone. If this might be helpful to your readers, you could express this explicitly. Alternate translation: [at the revelation of his glory when he returns to earth]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

χαρῆτε ἀγαλλιώμενοι

˱you_all˲_˓may_be˒_elated exulting

The words rejoice and glad mean basically the same thing. The repetition is used to emphasize the intensity of joy. If your language does not use repetition to do this, you can use one phrase and provide emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [you may rejoice even more] or [you may be exceedingly glad]
