1 Peter 1:3-18 NIV

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:13-16

13-16 As the traveller, the racer, the warrior, and the labourer, gathered in their long and loose garments, that they might be ready in their business, so let Christians do by their minds and affections. Be sober, be watchful against all spiritual dangers and enemies, and be temperate in all behaviour. Be sober-minded in opinion, as well as in practice, and humble in your judgment of yourselves. A strong and perfect trust in the grace of God, is agreeable with best endeavours in our duty.... read more

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

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

1 Peter 1:3-12Analysis:—God is praised for the grace of regeneration and for the hope of the heavenly inheritance, founded thereon.

1 Peter BY, THROUGH, UNTO 1Pe_1:5 The Revised Version substitutes ‘guarded’ for ‘kept,’ and the alteration, though slight, is important, for it not only more accurately preserves the meaning of the word employed, but it retains the military metaphor which is in it. The force of the expression will appear if I refer, in a sentence, to other cases in which it is employed in the New Testament. For instance, we read that the governor of Damascus ‘kept the city with a garrison,’ which is the... read more
