Greek NT<br />
8 Τὸ δὲ τέλος πάντες<br />
ὁμόφρονες, συμπαθεῖς,<br />
φιλάδελφοι, εὔσπλαγχνοι,<br />
ταπεινόφρονες, 9 μὴ<br />
ἀποδιδόντες κακὸν ἀντὶ<br />
κακοῦ ἢ λοιδορίαν ἀντὶ<br />
λοιδορίας τοὐναντίον δὲ<br />
εὐλογοῦντες, ὅτι εἰς τοῦτο<br />
ἐκλήθητε ἵνα εὐλογίαν<br />
κληρονομήσητε. 10 ὁ<br />
γὰρ θέλων ζωὴν ἀγαπᾶν<br />
καὶ ἰδεῖν ἡμέρας ἀγαθὰς<br />
παυσάτω τὴν γλῶσσαν<br />
ἀπὸ κακοῦ καὶ χείλη τοῦ<br />
μὴ λαλῆσαι δόλον, 11<br />
ἐκκλινάτω δὲ ἀπὸ κακοῦ<br />
καὶ ποιησάτω ἀγαθόν,<br />
ζητησάτω εἰρήνην καὶ<br />
διωξάτω αὐτήν· 12 ὅτι<br />
ὀφθαλμοὶ κυρίου ἐπὶ<br />
δικαίους καὶ ὦτα αὐτοῦ εἰς<br />
δέησιν αὐτῶν, πρόσωπον<br />
δὲ κυρίου ἐπὶ ποιοῦντας<br />
κακά.<br />

“Live compassionately”<br />
Gute Nachricht Bibel<br />
8 Euch allen schließlich<br />
sage ich: Haltet in derselben<br />
Gesinnung zusammen und<br />
habt Mitgefühl füreinander!<br />
Liebt euch gegenseitig als<br />
Brüder und Schwestern!<br />
Seid gütig und zuvorkommend<br />
zueinander!<br />
9 Vergeltet Böses nicht<br />
mit Bösem, und gebt Beleidigungen<br />
nicht wieder zurück!<br />
Im Gegenteil, segnet eure<br />
Beleidiger, denn Gott hat<br />
euch dazu berufen, seinen<br />
Segen zu empfangen. 10 Ihr<br />
wisst ja:<br />
»Wer nach dem wahren<br />
Leben verlangt und glückliche<br />
Tage sehen will, der nehme<br />
seine Zunge gut in Acht,<br />
dass er nichts Schlechtes<br />
und Hinterhältiges sagt. 11<br />
Er kehre sich vom Bösen ab<br />
und tue das Gute. Er mühe<br />
sich mit ganzer Kraft darum,<br />
mit allen Menschen in Frieden<br />
zu leben. 12 Denn der<br />
Herr hat ein offenes Auge<br />
für die, die das Rechte tun,<br />
und ein offenes Ohr für ihre<br />
Bitten. Aber er wendet sich<br />
gegen alle, die Böses tun.«<br />
NRSV<br />
8 Finally, all of you,<br />
have unity of spirit, sympathy,<br />
love for one another,<br />
a tender heart, and<br />
a humble mind. 9 Do not<br />
repay evil for evil or abuse<br />
for abuse; but, on the contrary,<br />
repay with a blessing.<br />
It is for this that you<br />
were called — that you<br />
might inherit a blessing.<br />
10 For “Those who desire<br />
life and desire to see good<br />
days, let them keep their<br />
tongues from evil and their<br />
lips from speaking deceit;<br />
11 let them turn away from<br />
evil and do good; let them<br />
seek peace and pursue it.<br />
12 For the eyes of the Lord<br />
are on the righteous, and<br />
his ears are open to their<br />
prayer. But the face of the<br />
Lord is against those who<br />
do evil.”<br />

8 Finally, all of you<br />
should be of one mind, full<br />
of sympathy toward each<br />
other, loving one another<br />
with tender hearts and<br />
humble minds. 9 Don’t<br />
repay evil for evil. Don’t<br />
retaliate when people say<br />
unkind things about you.<br />
Instead, pay them back<br />
with a blessing. That is<br />
what God wants you to<br />
do, and he will bless you<br />
for it. 10 For the Scriptures<br />
say, “If you want a<br />
happy life and good days,<br />
keep your tongue from<br />
speaking evil, and keep<br />
your lips from telling lies.<br />
11 Turn away from evil<br />
and do good. Work hard<br />
at living in peace with others.<br />
12 The eyes of the<br />
Lord watch over those<br />
who do right, and his ears<br />
are open to their prayers.<br />
But the Lord turns his<br />
face against those who do<br />
evil.”<br />

Introduction<br />
<strong>Peter</strong> brings this section of moral admonitions in 2:11-3:12 to a close (= Τὸ δὲ τέλος) with a miscellaneous<br />
collection of encouragements to the Christian community as a whole. 1 Just as he began this material with exhortations<br />
to the entire Christian community in 2:11-17, he returns to the community at large with the conclusion in<br />
3:8-12. The individualized Haustafeln section in 2:18-3:7, with <strong>Peter</strong>’s creative adaptation of it, is tucked in the<br />
1 “The adjectives and participles of vv 8–9 maintain the participial form for exhortations used throughout much of 2:13–3:7, and the<br />
phrase τὸ δὲ τέλος suggests that <strong>Peter</strong> is now drawing a line of thought to its conclusion.” [J. Ramsey Michaels, vol. 49, Word Biblical<br />
Commentary : 1 <strong>Peter</strong>, Word Biblical Commentary (Dallas: Word, Incorporated, 2002), 174.]<br />
