83Gk. νήπιοι. For natural infancy as a parable of spiritual infancy see Gal. 4:1, 3. See W. Grundmann, “Die νήπιοι in der urchristlichen Paränese,” NTS 5 (1958-59), 188-205.
84Not νήπιοι but ἀϱτιγέννητα βϱέφη. It may be that the people addressed in 1 Peter were younger in the faith than those addressed in Ephesians.
85Gk. ϰλυδωνιζóμενοι (from ϰλύδων, “wave,” “rough water”); cf. Jas. 1:6, ϰλύδωνι θαλάσσηζ ἀνεμιζομένῳ ϰαί 
(“a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind”).
86Gk. ἐν τῇ ϰυβείᾳ τѽν ἀνθϱώπων ἐν πανουϱγίᾳ πϱòζ τῆν μεθοδείαν τῆζ πλάνηζ, “by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error” (ASV), where “sleight” represents ϰυβεία (“playing with dice”), “craftiness” represents πανουϱγία (“rascality”), and “wiles” represents μεθοδεία (“scheming”)—a further piling up of synonyms. For πλάνη (“error,” “straying”) as the antithesis to ἀλήθεια (“truth”) cf. 2 Thess. 2:11-12; 1 John 4:6.
