Discovery Box1 Peter 3:6 
Context3:6 like Sarah who obeyed 1 Abraham, calling him lord. You become her children 2 when you do what is good and have no fear in doing so. 3
1 Peter 3:14
Context3:14 But in fact, if you happen to suffer 4 for doing what is right, 5 you are blessed. But do not be terrified of them 6 or be shaken. 7
1 tn Grk “as Sarah obeyed.”
2 tn Grk “whose children you become.”
3 tn Grk “doing good and not fearing any intimidation.”
4 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).
5 tn Grk “because of righteousness.”
6 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).
