This is a really clear example - thanks! I must say that it comes as quite 
a shock to see CARIS used to describe something a person can earn by 
behaving in a particular way (1 Peter 2:20), since the notion that you 
simply can not earn CARIS in any way whatsoever has always been very basic 
to my understanding of the word. I'm gonna have to look for some 
commentaries on 1 Peter, I don't think I have any here.
