NASB | 1 Peter 3:11 "HE MUST TURN AWAY FROM EVIL AND DO GOOD; HE MUST SEEK PEACE AND PURSUE IT. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 3:11 "HE MUST TURN AWAY FROM WICKEDNESS AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT. HE MUST SEARCH FOR PEACE [with God, with self, with others] AND PURSUE IT EAGERLY [actively--not merely desiring it]. |
Bible Question:
Forum friends, What is this peace? Peace with whom? How do we pursue it? In Christ Jesus, charis |
Bible Answer: Charis, the context (vv 8ff) shows it is others, rather than God. Tho being at peace with God is more important. Pursuing peace is not repaying good for evil (vv 9, 11), blessing for insult (vs 9), praying for them (vs 12), doing good (vv 13, 16, 17), show gentleness and respect (vs 15), keeping a clear conscience (vv 16) ... and be ready to give then an answer why you are different (vs 15). This is a start, Searcher |
