Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 1:24

For all flesh is as grass - That is, all human beings, all men. The connection here is this: The apostle, in the previous verse, had been contrasting that which is begotten by man with that which is begotten by God, in reference to its permanency. The forher was corruptible and decaying; the latter abiding. The latter was produced by God, who lives forever; the former by the agency of man, who is himself corruptible and dying. It was not unnatural, then, to dwell upon the feeble, frail,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 1:25

But the word of the Lord - In Isaiah Isaiah 40:8 “the word of our God.” The sense is not materially varied.Endureth forever - Is unmoved, fixed, permanent. Amidst all the revolutions on earth, the fading glories of natural objects, and the wasting strength of man, his truth remains unaffected. Its beauty never fades; its power is never enfeebled. The gospel system is as lovely now as it was when it was first revealed to man, and it has as much power to save as it had when first applied to a... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Peter 1:24-25

1 Peter 1:24-25. For all flesh Every human creature, is transient and withering as grass The word χορτος , here rendered grass, denotes not only what we generally call grass, but all kinds of herbs; and among the rest, those which have stalks and flowers. And all the glory of man His learning, wisdom, wealth, power, dignity, authority, dominion; as the flower of grass Which is yet more frail than the grass itself. The grass withereth of itself, if not cut down by the scythe of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 1:13-25

Fruits of salvation (1:13-2:3)Now that Christians have received such a great salvation, they should discipline their thoughts and behaviour so that they will always be ready for the return of Jesus Christ (13). They should think and act not according to their former habits, but according to the ways of God. They should pattern their character not on the people of the sinful society around them, but on the holy God (14-16).As Christians reverence God as their Father and Judge, they will want to... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:24

For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth: But the word of the Lord abideth forever. And this was the word of good tidings which was preached unto you.The Scripture quotation here is from Isaiah 4:6-8; but the passage seems to have been quoted with more in mind than the mere corroboration of the grand truth that the word of God abides forever, although that is indeed marvelous enough. The passage in Isaiah stands in... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Peter 1:24

1 Peter 1:24. For all flesh is as grass, &c.— Flesh is often, by a common figure, put for man: but perhaps the apostle here used the word to intimate that he meant the body of man, frail and short-lived like the tender herb; by way of opposition to the soul, which he considered as incorruptible. All the glory of man, means every thing wherein men pride themselves, or which renders them admired or illustrious;—beauty, strength, learning, eloquence, titles, riches, and honours: all these are... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Peter 1:25

1 Peter 1:25. The word of the Lord endureth for ever.— The word of God is said to be incorruptible, to be alive, and to endure for ever, because it teaches men the way to life; or, if complied with, begins a life of happiness, which will, to the faithful, never end; which is the seed or principle of a spiritual and incorruptible, of a glorious and happy life, which will endure for ever. See John 3:36; John 5:24; John 5:47; John 6:27; John 6:63.Romans 8:6; Romans 8:6. 1 John 2:17. The connection... read more

24. Scripture proof that the word of God lives for ever, in contrast to man's natural frailty. If ye were born again of flesh, corruptible seed, ye must also perish again as the grass; but now that from which you have derived life remains eternally, and so also will render you eternal. flesh—man in his mere earthly nature. as—omitted in some of the oldest manuscripts. of man—The oldest manuscripts read, "of it" (that is, of the flesh).
