1:13 Therefore, get your minds ready for action 1 by being fully sober, and set your hope 2 completely on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed. 3
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 tn Grk “binding up the loins of your mind,” a figure of speech drawn from the Middle Eastern practice of gathering up long robes around the waist to prepare for work or action.
2 tn Grk “having bound up…, being sober, set your hope…”
3 tn Grk “at the revelation of Jesus Christ” (cf. v. 7).
