1 Peter 3:22
Context3:22 who went into heaven and is at the right hand of God 5 with angels and authorities and powers subject to him. 6
1 sn The Greek construction here implies that such suffering was not the norm, even though it could happen, and in fact may well have happened to some of the readers (cf. 4:4, 12-19).
2 tn Grk “because of righteousness.”
3 tn Grk “do not fear their fear,” referring to those who cause their suffering. The phrase “their fear” may mean “what they fear” (subjective genitive), but in a situation of persecution it more likely means “fear of them” (objective genitive).
4 sn A quotation from Isa 8:12.
5 tn Grk “who is at the right hand…having gone into heaven.”
6 tn Grk “angels…having been subjected to him.”
