1 Peter 3:8 encourages believers to embody qualities that promote harmony and love within the church. Following instructions to husbands in the previous verse, Peter shifts focus to the entire community, urging them to adopt a mindset of unity and compassion. This call to mutual love and understanding reflects the teachings of Jesus and the early church's values, as seen in various cross-references like Romans 12:16 and Acts 4:32.

The Key Word — ὁμόφρονες, homophrōngenerated
The word ὁμόφρον (homophron) means 'of one mind' or 'like-minded.' It emphasizes the importance of shared attitudes and thoughts among believers, promoting unity and harmony. The parsing indicates it is an adjective in the plural form, suggesting that this quality should be present in the entire community.
This term highlights the call for Christians to align their thoughts and feelings, fostering a supportive environment where they can grow together in faith.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The translations agree on the essence of the verse, presenting a unified call for believers to be like-minded and compassionate. The Berean Standard Bible uses 'like-minded' while the KJV opts for 'of one mind,' both capturing the same idea of unity.
However, differences arise in how the word συμπαθεῖς is rendered: the BSB and WEB use 'sympathetic,' whereas the KJV and BBE choose 'having compassion' and 'feeling for one another,' respectively.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is implied in the structure, as Peter issues a series of exhortations to the community. The phrase 'Finally, all of you' serves as an introduction to the commands that follow, which are connected through a series of adjectives describing the desired qualities.
Each quality is presented in the nominative plural form, indicating that all members of the community are to embody these traits: being like-minded, sympathetic, loving as brothers, tender-hearted, and humble.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
In fine autem omnes unanimes, compatientes fraternitatis amatores, misericordes, modesti, humiles :
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

Company kept: which words stand within three words of each of these, anywhere in the Greek New Testament — the thicker the line, the more often the pair meet compared with chance.

Lexicons — every word in 1 Peter 3:8
One dossier per word, with every reference work grouped by kind — Greek lexicons, morphology, Bible dictionaries, topical chains and the English of the translators themselves. The verse sits at the head of each block with the word under study lit, so you never lose your place. The panel above gives the short answer; this is the long one, and it is the part of the page worth indexing.
Every entry below is the lexicographer's own text. Imported from the CrossWire SWORD modules — Abbott-Smith, the full Liddell-Scott-Jones, Strong's, Dodson, the Intermediate LSJ, Robinson and Packard on the Greek, Webster and Cawdrey on the English the translators were using. Where a cell says a work has no entry, that work genuinely has none for this word.
The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

τέλος (telos) refers to an end or limit, often indicating the conclusion of an action or state. It can denote various types of endings, such as the completion of a task, the final stage of an event, or even a tax or duty. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts like the end of the age (Matthew 24:6) and the fulfillment of the law (Romans 10:4). The term is also used in phrases indicating continuity or reaching a goal.

The Greek word πᾶς (i.e., *pas*) means 'all' or 'every' and appears in various forms, including masculine, feminine, and neuter. It is used in the New Testament to denote totality, as in 'all things' or 'every kind,' and can function as an adjective or pronoun. Notably, it can also imply 'the whole' when used with definite articles, as seen in verses like Matthew 28:18.

The Greek word ὁμόφρων (i.e., *homophron*) means 'of one mind' or 'like-minded.' It is built from the roots for 'same' and 'mind,' covering the idea of harmony or agreement. The term appears in 1 Peter 3:8, where it emphasizes unity in sentiment rather than mere opinion. Moulton & Milligan note its specific nuance of shared disposition.
* ὁμόφρων, -ον
(< ὁμός, φρήν), = ὁμόνοος,
agreeing, of one mind: I Pe 3:8.†
ὁμόφρων, -ον, (duds, φρήν), of one mind, [A.V. like minded}, concordant: 1 Pet. iii. 8. (Hom., Hes., Pind., Arstph., Anthol., Plut., al.)
ὁμόφρων. The likeness of ‘‘sentiment or disposition ’’’ rather than of “opinion ” which Bigg (CC ad 1) finds in this adj. in its only occurrence in the NT, 1 Pet 38, maybe illustrated from the use of the corresponding adv. in the sepulchral inscr. Kaibel 40351--τὸν Kal ἔτ᾽ ἀκμαῖον βίοτον λείποντα καθ᾽ ἥβην κῆδος ὁμοφρονέως πᾶσ᾽ ἐδάκρυσε πόλις.

The Greek word συμπαθής (sumpathēs) is built from σύν (together) and πάσχω (to suffer). It describes a state of being sympathetic or compassionate towards others, as seen in 1 Peter 3:8. The term encompasses feelings of mutual understanding and shared experiences, with references in classical literature indicating its broader use in expressing emotional connections.

συμπαθής, -ἐς, (σύν and πάσχω), suffering or feeling the like with another, sympathetic: 1 Pet. iii. 8, ef. Ro. xii. 15. (Aristot., Theophr., al.)
συμπαθής, “sharing the experiences ’’ of others (1 Pet 358): οἷ. OG/7S 456°° (B.C. 27-11) προσενηνεγμένης αὐτῆς (sc. τῆς συγκλήTov) TH πόλει συμπαθέστατα. For the subst. cf. 70. 470" (time of Augustus) ty τῶν Ἑλλήνων συνπα[θείᾳ. In Epicurus συμπάθεια has often the general meaning ‘‘correspondence,” e.g. 4. 1. 48, 50 (ed. Bailey). Συμπαθηθῆναι is one of the numerous list of passive aorists which are found in the Byzantine chronicles, though not in Attic Greek : see Psaltes Gr. p. 226.
