# General Information:
Peter begins to talk about the believers' salvation and faith. Here he elaborates on a metaphor in which what God promises to do for all believers is spoken of as if it were an inheritance that he passes on to them.
# our Lord Jesus Christ ... gave us a new birth
The words "our" and "us" refer to Peter and those to whom he is writing. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-inclusive]])
# he gave us a new birth
"he caused us to be born again"
# for the confidence of an inheritance
You can translate this using a verb. AT: "so that we confidently expect to receive an inheritance" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
# inheritance
Receiving what God has promised believers is spoken of as if it were inheriting property and wealth from a family member. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
# will not perish, will not become stained, and will not fade away
Peter uses three similar phrases to describe the inheritance as something that is perfect and eternal. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
# It is reserved in heaven for you

# You are protected by God's power

# by God's power

# through faith

# that is ready to be revealed
