1 Peter 4:4

Context
4:4 So 1  they are astonished 2  when you do not rush with them into the same flood of wickedness, and they vilify you. 3 

1 tn Grk “in/by which,” referring to the change of behavior described in v. 3. The unbelievers are astonished by the readers’ moral transformation. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

2 tn Or “are surprised, are taken aback.” The same verb occurs in 4:12.

3 tn Grk “blaspheming,” giving the result of their astonishment. Here the target of their “blasphemy/vilification” is not God but the Christian.
