1 Peter 1:11

1:11 They probed 1  into what person or time 2  the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating when he testified beforehand about the sufferings appointed for Christ 3  and his subsequent glory. 4 

1 Peter 5:1

Leading and Living in God’s Flock

5:1 So as your fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings and as one who shares in the glory that will be revealed, I urge the elders among you:

1 Peter 5:10

5:10 And, after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ 5  will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 6 

1 tn Grk “probing.” The participle continues the sentence from v. 10 but has been translated as an indicative for English style.

2 tn Or “time or circumstances,” focusing not on the person but on the timing and circumstances of the fulfillment.

sn The OT prophets wondered about the person and the surrounding circumstances (time) through which God would fulfill his promised salvation.

3 tn Grk “the sufferings unto Christ,” i.e., sufferings directed toward him, what he was destined to suffer.

4 tn Grk “the glories after these things.”

5 tc ‡ A few important mss (א B 614 630 1505 pc) lack “Jesus” after “Christ,” while the majority include the name (Ì72 A P Ψ 33 1739 Ï latt). However, the inclusion is a natural and predictable expansion on the text. NA27 includes ᾿Ιησοῦ (Ihsou, “Jesus”) in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity. .

6 tn The pronoun “you” is not used explicitly but is clearly implied by the Greek.
