Discovery Box1 Peter 2:15 
Context2:15 For God wants you 1 to silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing good.
1 Peter 2:17
Context2:17 Honor all people, love the family of believers, 2 fear God, honor the king.
1 Peter 5:6
Context5:6 And God will exalt you in due time, 3 if you humble yourselves under his mighty hand 4
1 tn Grk “because thus it is God’s will.”
2 tn Grk “love the brotherhood.” The Greek term “brotherhood” is used in a broad sense to connote familial relationships within the family of God. BDAG 19 s.v. ἀδελφότης 1 suggests “a fellowship,” but in the present context “love the fellowship of believers” could be taken to mean “love to participate in fellowship with believers,” whereas the present verse suggests the Christian community as a whole, in familial terms, is in view. This same word occurs in 5:9; there it has been translated “brothers and sisters.”
3 tn Grk “in time,” but connoting “the proper time, when the time is right” as in Matt 24:45; Luke 12:42.
4 tn Grk “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that in due time he may exalt you.” The sentence was rearranged so that the English reader could more clearly see the connection between “casting” (v. 7) and “humble” (v. 6).
