1 Petrus 4:17

4:17 For it is time for judgment to begin, starting with the house ⁵  of God. And if it starts with us, what will be the fate ⁶  of those who are disobedient to the gospel of God?

[2:8]  ¹ tn Grk “a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” The latter phrase uses the term σκάνδαλον (skandalon), denoting an obstacle to faith, something that arouses anger and rejection.

[2:8]  ² sn A quotation from Isa 8:14.

[2:8]  ³ tn Grk “who stumble,” referring to “those who do not believe” in vs. 7. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[2:8]  ⁴ tn Grk “to which they were also destined.”

[4:17]  ⁵ tn Grk “to begin from the house.”

[4:17]  ⁶ tn Or “the end.”
