Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 1:14

As obedient children - That is, conduct yourselves as becomes the children of God, by obeying his commands; by submitting to His will; and by manifesting unwavering confidence in him as your Father at all times.Not fashioning yourselves - Not forming or modeling your life. Compare the notes at Romans 12:2. The idea is, that they were to have some model or example, in accordance with which they were to frame their lives, but that they were not to make their own former principles and conduct the... read more

1 Peter 1:10-11. Of which salvation That is, concerning the nature and extent of it, and the way and means of attaining it, namely, by believing and obeying the gospel, to be preached among all nations: (see the margin:) the prophets have inquired Εξεζητησαν , sought with accuracy, or were earnestly inquisitive about; and searched diligently (Like miners searching for precious ore,) after the meaning of the prophecies which they delivered; who prophesied Long ago; of the grace of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 1:1-12

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
