1 Petrus 3:20
Konteks3:20 after they were disobedient long ago 3 when God patiently waited 4 in the days of Noah as an ark was being constructed. In the ark 5 a few, that is eight souls, were delivered through water.
[1:2] 1 sn For obedience and for sprinkling indicates the purpose of their choice or election by God.
[1:2] 2 tn Grk “be multiplied to you.”
[3:20] 3 tn This reflects a Greek participle, literally “having been disobedient formerly,” that refers to the “spirits” in v. 19. Many translations take this as adjectival describing the spirits (“who had once been disobedient”; cf. NASB, NIV, NKJV, NLT, NRSV, TEV), but the grammatical construction strongly favors an adverbial interpretation describing the time of the preaching, as reflected above.
[3:20] 4 tn Grk “the patience of God waited.”
[3:20] 5 tn Grk “in which,” referring to the ark; the referent (the ark) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
