1 PET 4:9 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. 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 4:7–11: Good managers of God’s gifts

In this section, Peter said that the end of the world is near, and therefore Christians should be self-controlled and prayerful. They should love each other, be hospitable, and use their special abilities to help each other. In this way they would bring glory to God.

Some other headings for this section include:

Use God’s Gifts Wisely (NCV)

Your attitude in these last days

4:9a

Show hospitality to one another

Welcome one another into your houses.
Invite other believers into your homes.

Show hospitality to one another: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as Show hospitality to one another refers to receiving other believers as guests in one’s home. This would involve giving them food and a place to sleep. Other ways to say this include:

Welcome each other into your houses (NJB)

Open your homes to each other (NCV)

4:9b

without complaining.

Do not complain about doing this.
Do this willingly/cheerfully.

without complaining: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as without complaining means that Christians should not grumble about having to give meals and lodging to other believers. In some languages it may be natural to translate this positively. For example:

cheerfully (NLT)

be happy to have other believers as visitors in your homes (EASY)

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

φιλόξενοι

hospitable_‹be›

The word hospitable refers to showing kindness to and providing for the needs of guests and travelers. This was especially important in Peter’s time because inns were dangerous places where people did many immoral activities, so Christians could not stay in them. If it might be helpful to your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [be those who provide food and a sleeping place] or [be those who provide room and board]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

ἄνευ γογγυσμοῦ

apart_from grumbling

Here Peter uses a figure of speech that expresses a strong positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of the intended meaning. If this is confusing in your language, you can express the meaning positively. Alternate translation: [with cheerfulness]
