Context — Suffering for Doing Goodgenerated
1 Peter 2:20 discusses the nature of suffering and its implications. Peter asks rhetorically about the value of enduring punishment for wrongdoing, suggesting that it holds no merit. In contrast, suffering for doing good is presented as commendable in the sight of God. This teaching encourages believers to maintain integrity and righteousness even in the face of adversity, reflecting the example of Christ, who suffered unjustly.

The Key Word — κλέος, kleosgenerated
The word κλέος (kleos) is a noun meaning 'credit' or 'glory.' It refers to a reputation or honor that one earns through actions. In this context, it questions the merit of receiving praise for enduring punishment for wrongdoing, emphasizing that true commendation comes from suffering for righteousness.
The parsing indicates that κλέος is a singular neuter noun, suggesting that it is treated as a singular concept of honor or reputation in this verse.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The translations of this verse generally agree on the meaning of suffering for doing good. The Berean Standard Bible uses the term commendable, which aligns with the New King James Version and American Standard Version, both using acceptable in the same context.
However, there are variations in how the Greek word κλέος is rendered. The King James Version and American Standard Version use glory, while the Berean Standard Bible and others prefer credit.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse contains two main clauses connected by the conjunction ἀλλ᾽ (alla), which introduces a contrast. The first clause questions the value of enduring punishment for wrongdoing, while the second affirms the commendation for suffering for good.
The finite verb ὑπομενεῖτε (hupomenō) governs the structure, linking the subject to the actions of enduring both types of suffering.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The word κλέος does not have a direct equivalent in the Septuagint but is related to the Hebrew concept of glory or reputation, as seen in various contexts in the Old Testament.
The usage of κλέος in the New Testament reflects a continuation of this idea, emphasizing the importance of one's actions in determining their honor before God.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
1 Peter 2:20 teaches that suffering for doing wrong does not earn you any credit, but if you suffer for doing good and endure it, that is commendable before God. This encourages believers to act righteously, even when faced with hardship.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Enduring suffering for doing good means remaining steadfast and patient in the face of hardship or punishment when one is acting righteously, reflecting Christ's own suffering.

This is acceptable with God: this shows what is meant by thank-worthy, ; and the apostle adds what kind of thanks or praise he intends, viz. not that which is of man, (which many times may fail, even when men patiently suffer injuries), but that which is of God, to which believers should especially have respect.

The Greek word ποῖος (poios) is an interrogative pronoun meaning 'of what sort' or 'what kind.' It is used in both direct and indirect questions throughout the New Testament, often to inquire about the nature or quality of something. The word can also imply a sense of surprise or scorn in classical texts. There is a noted shift in usage, where it retains its original meaning in Pauline writings but becomes more general in other contexts.

ποῖος. Hort ad 1 Pet 111 has pointed out that in Mt, Lk, Ac (23°*) and Rev ποῖος loses its classical force of “kind,” “but only with reference to locality (including way) and time.” Paul, on the other hand, keeps the proper sense “what manner,” (Rom 327 a/.), and so probably Jas 414 and 1 Pet 111, 220, For ποῖος in the weakened sense of ‘‘what”’ in indirect Interrogation, see P Par 607 (B.c. 154) (as read UPZ i.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.

The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

The Greek word γάρ (gar) is a coordinating particle primarily used to introduce reasons or explanations, similar to 'for' in English. It can serve various functions, including causal, explicative, and conclusive, and is often placed after the first word in a clause. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts that clarify or justify preceding statements, aligning with its classical usage.
γάρ, a conjunction, which ace. to its composition, γέ and dpa (i. 4. ἄρ), is properly a particle of affirmation and conclusion, denoting truly therefore, verily as the case stands, “ the thing is first aflirmed by the particle yé, and then is referred to what precedes by the force of the particle dpa” (Klotz ad Devar. ii. 1, p. 232; οἵ. Kiihner ii. p. 724; [Jelf § 786; W. 445 (415) sq-]). Now since by a new affirmation not infrequently the reason and nature of something previously mentioned are set forth, it comes to pass that, by the use of this particle, either the reason and cause of a foregoing statement is added, whence arises the causal or argumentative force of the particle, for (Lat. nam, enim; Germ. denn) ; or some previous declaration is explained, whence γάρ takes on an ex plicative force: YP Sor, the fact is, namely (Lat. videlicet, Germ. ndmilich). Thus the force of the…

The Greek word κλέος (*kleos*) means 'rumor' or 'report,' but it also signifies 'glory' or 'fame.' It is derived from a shorter form of another word related to being called or renowned. In the New Testament, it appears in 1 Peter 2:20, where it refers to a good report or praise. The lexicons do not indicate any significant disagreement about its meanings.
κλέος, -ous, τό. (κλέω Equiv. tO καλέω) ; 1. rumor, report. 2. glory, praise: 1 Vet. ii. 20. (In both senses com. in Grk. writ. fr. Hom. down; for pnw, Job XXVili. 22.))

The Greek word ἁμαρτάνω (i.e., *hamartano*) means to miss the mark, often used metaphorically to signify sin or wrongdoing. It is derived from the root meaning to miss and encompasses a range of meanings from failing to achieve a goal to violating God's law. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, such as in Matthew 18:25 and Romans 3:23, highlighting its moral implications.
ἁμαρτάνω
(pres. formed from aor. ἁμαρτεῖν),
[in LXX for חטא, also for אשׁם, רשׁע, etc.;]
to miss the mark (Hom., Æsch., al.), hence metaph. (Hom., al.), to err, do wrong.

(later) ἡμάρτησα, Mt. xviii. 15; Ro. v. 14, 16 (ef.

Plut. 961, al.); then to err, be mistaken; lastly to miss or wander from the path of uprightness and honor, to door go wrong.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word ἀλλά (alla) is an adversative particle, meaning 'but' or 'otherwise.' It is derived from the neuter plural of ἄλλος and is used to introduce opposition or contrast in sentences. In the New Testament, it often appears in contexts that involve negation or exceptions, such as in Matthew 5:15 and John 16:2. The lexicons note its stronger adversative force compared to δέ.

Counted over the 307 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.
The Greek word ἀγαθοποιέω (i.e., *agathopoieo*) means 'to do good' or 'to act rightly.' It is derived from the components for 'good' and 'to make.' This term appears in the New Testament in several contexts, including 1 Peter and Luke, often emphasizing actions that benefit others. Notably, it is used in Mark 3:4 and Luke 6:9 in discussions about doing good on the Sabbath.
ἀγαθο-ποιέω, -@; 1 aor. inf. ἀγαθοποιῆσαι ; (fr. dyaboποιός) 5 1. to do good, do something which profits others: Mk. iii. 4 [Tdf. ἀγαθὸν ποιῆσαι; Lk. vi. 9]; to show one’s self beneficent, Acts xiv. 17 Rec.; τινά, to do some one a favor, io benefit, Lk. vi. 33, 35, (equiv. to 207, Zeph.i.12; Num. x. 32; Tob. xii. 13, etc.). 2 to do well, do right: 1 Pet. ii. 15, 20 (opp. to ἁμαρτάνω) ; iii. 6,17; 3 Jn. 11. (Not found in secular authors, except in a few of the later in an astrological sense, to Furnish a good omen.)

good (Tobh, Tubh, yaTabh; agathos, agathon, kalos, kalon): In English "good" is used in various senses, most of which are represented in the Bible.
(1) In the Old Testament the commonest word is Tobh, occurring very frequently and translated in a great variety of ways. Of the different shades of meaning, which frequently run into each other, the following may be distinguished:
(a) Possessing desirable qualities, beneficial, agreeable, e.g. "good for food" (Ge 2:9); "We will do thee good" (Nu 10:29); Who will show us any good?" (Ps 4:6); "good tidings of good" (Isa 52:7).

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

πάσχω (paschō) means to suffer or be affected by something, often with a focus on negative experiences. It can also refer to positive experiences when qualified by an adjective. The New Testament frequently uses it in contexts of suffering, such as in Luke 22:15 and 1 Peter 2:19. The word is built from the root meaning to receive an impression, and it appears in various forms across Greek literature.

(2) "To experience," "to go through,"' "to endure": "I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him" (Mt 27:19). A woman "had suffered many things of many physicians" (Mr 5:26). Other common phrases are "to suffer affliction" (1Th 3:4;

The Greek word οὗτος (i.e., *houtos*) is a demonstrative pronoun meaning 'this' or 'this one.' It is used to refer to something nearby or recently mentioned, often with a connotation of contempt in certain contexts. In the New Testament, it appears in various forms, such as in Matthew 3:17 and John 1:15, and can also serve to emphasize or clarify a subject.

The Greek word χάρις (*charis*) means grace or favor and is derived from the concept of graciousness. It encompasses both the objective aspect of beauty and charm, as well as the subjective experience of kindness and gratitude. In the New Testament, it frequently refers to divine grace, emphasizing its free and universal nature, and is used in various contexts, such as expressions of thanks and the influence of grace on the heart.
THERE has often been occasion to observe the manner in which Greek words taken up into Christian use are glorified and transformed, seeming to have waited for this adoption of them, to come to their full rights, and to reveal all the depth and the riches of meaning which they contained, or might be made to contain. Xdpisis one of these.

παρά is a preposition that conveys the idea of proximity, meaning 'beside' or 'from the side of.' It can take the genitive, dative, or accusative case, indicating source, location, or motion towards something. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts involving relationships, such as 'his family' (Mk 3:21) or 'from God' (Jn 9:16). The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its usage.

θεός (theos) means 'God' or 'a god' and is used in both singular and plural forms. It refers to the supreme deity in monotheistic contexts, as well as to lesser deities in polytheistic settings. The New Testament frequently employs this term, notably in verses like Matthew 27:46 and Acts 19:37. Some lexicons note its use as a title for rulers or magistrates, reflecting its broader application in ancient texts.

IV. 1 No. 906% (B.C. 284-273) where a votive offering is dedicated in honour of Πτολεμαίου τοῦ σωτῆρος καὶ θεοῦ, and the description of Ptolemy V. (Epiphanes) on the Rosetta stone—OG/S gol?

The same practice is still more strikingly illustrated in the Imperial period, as when in an inscr. from the Fayum district, dated March 17th, B.c. 24, Augustus is described as θεὸς ἐκ θεοῦ (OG/S 6557), or as when a votive inscr. is addressed to Nero—daya0a(t) θεῶ(ι) (Cos 927): see Deissmann 7s. p. 349.

God
(A.S. and Dutch God; Dan. Gud; Ger. Gott), the name of the Divine Being. It is the rendering (1) of the Hebrew ’El, from a word meaning to be strong; (2) of ’Eloah_, plural _’Elohim. The singular form, Eloah, is used only in poetry. The plural form is more commonly used in all parts of the Bible, The Hebrew word Jehovah (q.v.), the only other word generally employed to denote the Supreme Being, is uniformly rendered in the Authorized Version by “LORD,” printed in small capitals. The existence of God is taken for granted in the Bible. There is nowhere any argument to prove it. He who disbelieves this truth is spoken of as one devoid of understanding (Ps. 14:1).
The arguments generally adduced by theologians in proof of the being of God are:
(1.) The a priori argument, which is the testimony afforded by reason.
(good). Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures two chief names are used for the one true divine Being--ELOHIM, commonly translated God in our version, and JEHOVAH, translated Lord . Elohim is the plural of Eloah (in Arabic Allah); it is often used in the short form EL (a word signifying strength , as in EL-SHADDAI, God Almighty, the name by which God was specially known to the patriarchs. (Genesis 17:1; 28:3; Exodus 6:3) The etymology is uncertain, but it is generally agreed that the primary idea is that of strength, power of effect , and that it properly describes God in that character in which he is exhibited to all men in his works, as the creator, sustainer and supreme governor of the world. The plural form of Elohim has given rise to much discussion. The fanciful idea that it…
This name, the derivation of which is uncertain, we give to that eternal, infinite, perfect, and incomprehensible Being, the Creator of all things, who preserves and governs all by his almighty power and wisdom, and is the only proper object of worship. The proper Hebrew name for God is JEHOVAH, which signifies He is. But the Jews, from a feeling of reverence, avoid pronouncing this name, substituting for it, wherever it occurs in the sacred test, the word ADONAI, Lord; except in the expression, ADONAI JEHOVAH, Lord Jehovah, for which they put, ADONAI ELOHIM, Lord God. This usage, which is not without an element of superstition, is very ancient, dating its origin some centuries before Christ; but there is no good ground for assuming its existence in the days of the inspired Old Testament writers. The proper word for God is ELOHIM, which is plural in its form, being thus used to signify…
