1:14a

this tent will soon be laid aside: Here Peter described dying as this tent will soon be laid aside. As in verse 13, unless you have a metaphor in your language that speaks of death in a very similar way, it will be better to translate the meaning directly rather than using a metaphor. So you can say, “I will soon die.”

General Comment about 1:13–14: In some languages, it may be necessary to reorder verses 13 and 14. A possible way of translating the reordered verses is:

Our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me that I will soon die. Therefore I think that it is right for me to continue to remind you of these things now while I am still alive.
