1 Peter 2:23

Context
2:23 When he was maligned, he 1  did not answer back; when he suffered, he threatened 2  no retaliation, 3  but committed himself to God 4  who judges justly.

1 Peter 3:15

Context
3:15 But set Christ 5  apart 6  as Lord in your hearts and always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks about the hope you possess. 7 

1 tn Grk “who being maligned,” continuing the reference to Christ. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

2 tn Grk “he did not threaten, but.”

3 sn An allusion to Isa 53:7.

4 tn Grk “to the one”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

5 tc Most later mss (P Ï) have θεόν (qeon, “God”) instead of Χριστόν (Criston; “Christ”) here. But Χριστόν is widely supported by excellent and early witnesses (Ì72 א A B C Ψ 33 1739 al latt sy co), and as a less common idiom better explains the rise of the other reading.

6 tn Or “sanctify Christ as Lord.”

7 tn Grk “the hope in you.”
