(της παροικιας υμων). A late word, found in LXX (Psalms 119:5) and in N.T. only here and Acts 13:17 and in ecclesiastical writers (one late Christian inscription). It comes from παροικεω, old verb, to dwell beside (in one's neighbourhood), and so of pilgrims or strangers (παροικος Acts 7:6) as of Jews away from Palestine or of Christians here on earth, then of a local region (our "parish"). Peter here recurs to 1 Peter 1:1 ("sojourners of the Dispersion").In fear

(εν φοβω). Emphatic position at beginning of the clause with αναστραφητε at the end.
