1 Peter 1:24-25 KJV,ASV

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 1 Peter 1:1-99

1Pet 1 COMMENCING THEN OUR reading of the Epistle, we find the opening address in verses 1Pe_1:1 and 2. To whom does he write? To “strangers scattered” or “sojourners of the dispersion,” to people who were a standing witness to the fact that the Jew had forfeited his ancient privileges, to folk who had lost all the earthly foothold they ever had, though it was a big foothold as originally granted. Yet the sojourners he addressed were not by any means all the scattered Jews of those provinces,... read more

The quality of Christian love: v. 22. Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently v. 23. being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever. v. 24. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away; v. 25. but the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Peter 1:13-25

Redeemed and Purified 1 Peter 1:13-25 The appeal for a holy life is enforced by considering the great cost of our redemption and the great hope which is opened before us. Ours must be the girded loins, lest our desires trail after forbidden things, or be sullied by the mud on the road. We must be holy, as God is: and this can be realized only when we allow God, by His Holy Spirit, to pour Himself into our natures. There is no fear like that which love begets. We do not fear God with the fear... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 1:1-25

Like the letter of James, the purpose of this was to establish those who were passing through a period of suffering and testing. In his introduction the apostle used the name Jesus had given him, "Peter." He described those to whom he wrote as "elect . . . according to the foreknowledge of God," and "in sanctification of the Spirit." He approached the subject of the testing of their faith by reminding them of the heavenly nature of their vocation. The final issue thereof is an inheritance, all... read more

The Book of Books 1 Peter 1:10-25 INTRODUCTORY WORDS It is said on one occasion, when Sir Walter Scott was sick, he called his son requesting him to bring him the book. His son said, "Your library is filled with books. Which book do you want?" He is said to have replied, "My son, there is but one Book, bring me the Book." From the above story we have taken our theme: The Book of books. The Bible contains everything needed in the way of spiritual instruction. It proclaims prophecies, which... read more

THE ABIDING WORD‘All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: but the Word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the Word which by the gospel is preached unto you.’ 1 Peter 1:24-Lamentations : In order to enter into the spirit of the Apostle’s utterances, we need to mark carefully each term of the comparison, or rather the contrast, which he establishes here. One term expresses, in elegant and forcible... read more

Being Begotten Again Of The Living And Eternal Word of God Has Purified Their Souls In Obedience To The Truth, And This Must Work Itself Out In Love For One Another (1 Peter 1:22-25 ). He now outlines what should be their resultant behaviour. In all the Apostolic letters the expounding of divine truth leads on to the requirement for righteous living. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:24-25

‘For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord abides for ever.’ Peter now backs up the imperishable nature of the word of God from Scripture (Isaiah 40:6; Isaiah 40:8). Men are made of flesh. And flesh is like herbage, it withers and dies, and its glory dies with it. All its glory is like the flowers that grow from herbage. They flourish for a while, and they make such a display, and then they... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:25

‘And this is the word of good tidings which was preached to you.’ And this ‘word (rema) of the Lord’ is the very word of good tidings that had been preached to his readers and had brought their response. By this incorruptible seed they have been begotten again to incorruptible life. They are no longer ‘flesh’. They are renewed flesh which contains within it the seed of resurrection life. In terms to be used later (1 Peter 3:18; 1 Peter 4:6) they are ‘spirit’. read more
