Expositor's Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 1:22-25

Chapter 5 CHRISTIAN BROTHERHOOD: ITS CHARACTER AND DUTIES1 Peter 1:22-25; 1 Peter 2:1-3THAT holy lives have been lived in solitude none would venture to dispute, and that devout Christians have found strength for themselves and given examples to the world by withdrawal from the society of their fellows is attested more than once in the history of Christendom. But with lives of such isolation and seclusion the New Testament exhibits little sympathy. To whatever preparation the Christian is... read more

II. THE BLESSINGS AND PRIVILEGES OF ALL BELIEVERS CHAPTER 1:22-2:10 1. The new birth (1 Peter 1:22-25 ) 2. Spiritual growth (1 Peter 2:1-3 ) 3. The privileges of believers as the holy and royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:4-10 ) 1 Peter 1:22-25 The relationship of those who are thus redeemed, whose faith and hope is in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, whose souls are purified by obedience to the truth, unto unfeigned love of the brethren, is stated first: “Love one another... read more

Geneva Study Bible - 1 Peter 1:24

1:24 {14} For all {l} flesh [is] as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:(14) A reason why we need this heavenly birth, that is, because men, though their glory may not be great, are by nature void of all true and sound goodness.(l) The word, "flesh", shows the weakness of our nature, which is chiefly to be considered in the flesh itself. read more

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - 1 Peter 1:25

1:25 {15} But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.(15) Again lest any man should seek that spiritual force and virtue in feigned imaginations, the apostle calls us back to the word of God: teaching us furthermore, that there is no other word of the Lord to be looked for than this that is preached, in which we must trust alone. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:1-25

Peter writes with apostolic authority and though it is directly to the dispersed Jewish Christians (strangers both because Jews among Gentiles, and because Christians separated from Jewish relatives), yet we who are Gentile believers may well recognize, that much of this is just as applicable to ourselves. We too are pilgrims and strangers, not at home on earth. The areas spoken of in v.1 are all in present-day Turkey, for Asia at that time was Asia minor, on the western end of Turkey. ... read more

OBLIGATIONS OF HOPE UPWARD “Wherefore” at the beginning of this lesson shows that as the result of what has gone before something is expected. They who have been begotten again to this living hope have obligations arising from it. The first is Hope (1 Peter 1:13-16 ). The difference between “hope” in 1 Peter 1:13 and that in 1 Peter 1:3 is, that there it represented the believer’s standing or position before God in Christ, and here his experience and exhibition of it. Having been begotten... read more

The Precious Blood of Christ 1Pe 1:19 My heart's desire has ever been to make known to men that there is no salvation but by blood, and not by blood only, but by the particular blood named in the text even the precious blood of Christ. I am afraid that in these latter days some of us have tried to find out some other word to use instead of this word blood. We shrink from it. A dainty piety has forced upon us a dainty vocabulary. As the intensity of our love has gone down, the intensity of our... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Peter 1:17-25

And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: (18) Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; (19) But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: (20) Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Peter 1:25

REFLECTIONS Surely we have reason to bless God for the dispersion of his people, in that so much grace is manifested, and hath been manifested in their recovery. All which proves the original and eternal election of the Church by God the Father, the purchase of their redemption by the Lord Jesus Christ, and their regeneration and sanctification by the Holy Ghost. And that sweet promise is confirmed in every instance of a child of God brought back by sovereign grace, Hear the word of the Lord, O... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:17-25

17-25 Holy confidence in God as a Father, and awful fear of him as a Judge, agree together; and to regard God always as a Judge, makes him dear to us as a Father. If believers do evil, God will visit them with corrections. Then, let Christians not doubt God's faithfulness to his promises, nor give way to enslaving dread of his wrath, but let them reverence his holiness. The fearless professor is defenceless, and Satan takes him captive at his will; the desponding professor has no heart to avail... read more
