Greek NT 13 Διὸ ἀναζωσάμενοι τὰς ὀσφύας τῆς διανοίας ὑμῶν, νήφοντες τελείως, ἐλπίσατε ἐπὶ τὴν φερομένην ὑμῖν χάριν ἐν ἀποκαλύψει Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ. 14 ὡς τέκνα ὑπακοῆς, μὴ συσχηματιζόμενοι ταῖς πρότερον ἐν τῇ ἀγνοίᾳ ὑμῶν ἐπιθυμίαις, 15 ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὸν καλέσαντα ὑμᾶς ἅγιον καὶ αὐτοὶ ἅγιοι ἐν πάσῃ ἀναστροφῇ γενήθητε, 16 διότι γέγραπται ὅτι Ἅγιοι ἔσεσθε, ὅτι ἐγὼ ἅγιος. The First Letter of Peter Bible Study Session 4 1 Peter 1:13-16 “Living in Holiness” Gute Nachricht Bibel 13 Darum seid wach und haltet euch bereit! Bleibt nüchtern und setzt eure ganze Hoffnung auf die Gnade, die Gott euch schenken wird, wenn Jesus Christus in seiner Herrlichkeit erscheint. 14 Lebt als gehorsame Kinder Gottes und nicht mehr nach euren selbstsüchtigen Wünschen wie damals, als ihr die Wahrheit noch nicht kanntet. 15 Euer ganzes Tun soll ausgerichtet sein an dem heiligen Gott, der euch berufen hat. 16 In den Heiligen Schriften heißt es ja: »Ihr sollt heilig sein, denn ich bin heilig.« NRSV 13 Therefore prepare your minds for action; discipline yourselves; set all your hope on the grace that Jesus Christ will bring you when he is revealed. 14 Like obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires that you formerly had in ignorance. 15 Instead, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct; 16 for it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” Study By Lorin L Cranford A copy of this lesson is posted in Adobe pdf format at http://cranfordville.com under Bible Studies in the Bible Study Aids section.

Look forward to the special blessings that will come to you at the return of Jesus Christ. 14 Obey God because you are his children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of doing evil; you didn’t know any better then. 15 But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God -- who chose you to be his children -- is holy. 16 For he himself has said, “You must be holy because I am holy.” Quick Links to the Study I.

Become holy in your living, vv. 14-16 *************************************************************************** Introduction to Study. With the key motifs established in the Proem of the letter, 1:3-12, Peter begins with admonitions to Christian living in verses 13-16, the first segment of the letter body (Διὸ). Two foundational admonitions -- ‘set your hope’ and ‘become holy’ -- form the core structure of these two Greek sentences, vv. 13, 14-16. These admonitions are modified heavily with rich concepts that expand the ideas of each core. Most English translations can’t pack this much idea into relatively short sentences, and thus the translations break the material into multiple sentences, and especially as the NLT above illustrates, rearranges participle modifiers into full verb expressions. Although somewhat necessary because of the limitation of English grammar, the net impact is to blur the arrangement of ideas in the original text. The block diagram of the text below will highlight this inner connection of primary and secondary ideas in visual expression. The implications of setting up a firm hope and the commitment to holiness require a set of complimentary commitments, or else these two basic demands will not be met adequately. Only with understanding of the richness of these ideas can we correctly understand what Peter demanded, and even more importantly, can we implement these ideas into our living successfully. I. Context and Background 1 1Serious study of the Bible requires careful analysis of the background and setting of the scripture passage. Failure to do this leads to interpretive garbage and possibly to heresy. Detailed study of the background doesn’t always answer all the questions, but it certainly gets us further along toward correct understanding of both the historical and contemporary meanings of a text. This serious examination Bible Study: Page 44
Because of the particular genre of these verses, the literary aspect is going to play a greater role than the historical aspect in the understanding of the ideas contained in the passage. a. Historical External History. That the copying of this passage by scribes over the first seven or eight centuries was fairly consistent is evidenced by the fact that the editors of the USB 4th revised edition Greek New Testament didn’t consider any of the variances in copying to be significant enough to impact the meaning of the text, and thus needed to be included in the text apparatus of their edition of the Greek New Testament. Only two issues merit notation in the UBS Greek text, and they have to do with style issues connected to the quote from the Old Testament in verse sixteen. First, later copyists were bothered by the seeming redundant use of the conjunctions in the introduction of the OT quote: διότι γέγραπται [ὅτι]. Consequently some of the later manuscripts especially omit the second conjunction ὅτι. 2 Enough manuscript evidence exists to warrant retaining the ὅτι, but it doesn’t impact the translation of the text. This ὅτι is the so-called ‘recitative ὅτι’ that was used in the ancient world to introduce direct discourse. That is, it served as ancient quotation marks, and thus carried no cognitive meaning. Second, some copyists, mainly because of shifts in the writing of Greek over time, were sometimes bothered by the absence of a stated verb in ἐγὼ ἅγιος (I holy) at the end of verb sixteen. Consequently some manuscripts insert the implied verb into the clause: έγω ἄγιος είμι (I am holy). 3 The English translation remains the same whether or not the Greek verb είμι was directly stated or merely implied. One or two other variations in the wording of the text are present, but have less impact than the two listed above. Thus the stability of this passage over the centuries of being copied by countless numbers of scribes is very strong indeed. Internal History. Because of the specific genre of this text, it would not tend to have many time or place references, and such is the case. The forward look in the concept of ‘hope’ centers on final judgment and eternity at the end of human history. Eschatological expectation in First Peter is a significant doctrinal theme, and will be explored when it surfaces from passage to passage in the text studies. In vv. 13-16 the emphasis is not primarily spatial but conceptional ideas. Our hope centers on the grace of God to be expressed at the time of Jesus’ return to earth. The focus on the present contained in the passage is geared to actions that will prepare believers for that future moment of time. b. Literary Literary Form (Genre). At the broad level of genre, this passage stands as the opening section of the letter body. As such it builds off of the themes placed on the table for discussion in the Praescriptio and the Proem sections of the letter in the first twelve verses of the letter. 4 In verse three, a living hope was mentioned. It was forward pointing to the future inheritance promised believers. In verses six to eight, the experience of suffering persecution is seen as preparing us for final judgment that will bring praise to Christ because the suffering validates the genuineness of our faith commitment. Thus standing before God with a life of holy living because of our faith becomes vital to that day in the future. of both the historical and literary background of every passage will be presented in summary form with each of the studies. 2 “The formula introducing the scriptural quotation varies somewhat in the manuscript tradition, probably because the words διότι γέγραπται ὄτι (as in B ὄτι and a few other MSS) seemed redundant to later scribes, especially in light of a second ὄτι in the following clause. Consequently, the ὄτι (“that”) was omitted in the majority of MSS (including p72 א A C and P), while διότι γεγραπται was omitted in two later minuscules (33 and 1243). The ὄτι should probably be retained but left untranslated (the imperative with which the quotation begins makes it virtually untranslatable in English).” [J. Ramsey Michaels, vol. 49, Word Biblical Commentary: 1 Peter, Word Biblical Commentary (Dallas: Word, Incorporated, 2002), 51.] 3 “The manuscript tradition is closely divided over whether or not the verb “to be” is expressed: έγώ ἄγιος (א A* B and a few others) or έγω ἄγιος είμι (p72 Ac C P Ψ and the majority of later witnesses). The shorter reading agrees exactly with the LXX of Lev 19:2, while the εἰμί is found in Lev 11:44 and in some MSS of Lev 20:7, 26. It is likely that ἄγιος is original here, and that the εἰμί was added at the end to correspond to the preceding ὰγυοι ἔσεσθε, although it is also possible that an original εἰμἰ was dropped to conform the quotation exactly to Lev 19:2. The difference in meaning is inconsequential.” [J. Ramsey Michaels, vol. 49, Word Biblical Commentary: 1 Peter, Word Biblical Commentary (Dallas: Word, Incorporated, 2002), 52. 4 “The key to the section as a whole is the ‘living hope’ mentioned first in v 3 and designated in a variety of ways throughout vv 3–12: as an ‘inheritance’ (v 4), as ‘salvation’ (vv 5, 9, 10), as ‘the outcome of your faith’ (v 9), as ‘the grace to be given you’ (v 10), and as ‘praise, honor, and glory at the time when Jesus Christ is revealed’ (v 8).” [J. Ramsey Michaels, vol. 49, Word Biblical Commentary: 1 Peter, Word Biblical Commentary (Dallas: Word, Incorporated, 2002), 52.] Bible Study: Page 45
