1 Petrus 1:14

1:14 Like obedient children, do not comply with ¹  the evil urges you used to follow in your ignorance, ² 

1 Petrus 4:4

4:4 So ³  they are astonished ⁴  when you do not rush with them into the same flood of wickedness, and they vilify you. ⁵ 

[1:14]  ¹ tn Or “do not be conformed to”; Grk “not being conformed to.”

[1:14]  ² tn Grk “the former lusts in your ignorance.”

[4:4]  ³ 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.

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

[4:4]  ⁵ tn Grk “blaspheming,” giving the result of their astonishment. Here the target of their “blasphemy/vilification” is not God but the Christian.
