chaste behavior, pure, pure conduct

The Greek in 1 Peter 3:2 that is translated in English as “pure conduct” (or “chaste behavior”) is translated in Balanta-Kentohe as “good walk” (source: Rob Koops), in Ojitlán Chinantec as “and will not think evil in their hearts,” in Sayula Popoluca as “walk clean,” in Tenango Otomi as “guard their hearts,” an in Isthmus Mixe as “not walk evilly” (source: John Beekman & Harwood Hess in Notes on Translation, March 1963, p. 1ff.)

The standalone term that is translated as “pure” is translated in Mezquital Otomi as “that which cleanses one’s thoughts,” and in Alekano as “making our insides white.” (Source: Ellis Deibler in Notes on Translation July, 1967, p. 5ff.).
