1 Peter 3:22

3:22 who went into heaven and is at the right hand of God ¹  with angels and authorities and powers subject to him. ² 

1 Peter 4:4

4:4 So ³  they are astonished ⁴  when you do not rush with them into the same flood of wickedness, and they vilify you. ⁵ 

---

¹ tn Grk “who is at the right hand…having gone into heaven.”

² tn Grk “angels…having been subjected to him.”

³ tn Grk “in/by which,” referring to the change of behavior described in v. 3. The unbelievers are astonished by the readers’ moral transformation. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

⁴ tn Or “are surprised, are taken aback.” The same verb occurs in 4:12.

⁵ tn Grk “blaspheming,” giving the result of their astonishment. Here the target of their “blasphemy/vilification” is not God but the Christian.
