Discovery Box1 Peter 3:14 
Context3:14 But in fact, if you happen to suffer 1 for doing what is right, 2 you are blessed. But do not be terrified of them 3 or be shaken. 4
1 Peter 4:19
Context4:19 So then let those who suffer according to the will of God entrust their souls to a faithful Creator as they do good. 5
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 “in doing good.”
