1 Pedro 1:14-25 RVA

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:18

18. A second argument for fear is based upon the price of redemption. Know And should bear in mind. Redeemed By the payment of a ransom to the righteous Lawgiver and Judge, whose curse is upon all transgression. This legally opens the way for the actual deliverance of the ransomed. Both are here meant. Because of the ransom, they had been delivered from the vain, profitless life in which their idolatrous fathers had taught their children. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:19

19. Precious blood The order of the Greek words is, but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, even of Christ. Precious Of great value, in contrast with the corruptible things that for this purpose had no worth. Blood Shed in expiation. Lamb The lamb of sacrifice must be without blemish, that is, not blind, maimed, lame, or in any way defective, (Leviticus 22:20-24; Malachi 1:8;) and also without spot, or external defilement. Only such a lamb could be... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:20

20. Foreordained Rather, foreknown. In itself the word means nothing else. St. Peter, in his speech on the Pentecost, speaks of Christ as “delivered by the determinate counsel (or decree) and foreknowledge of God,” (Acts 2:23;) but here he speaks only of the foreknowledge. Most assuredly it was the purpose of God, framed before the creation of the world, to save men through Christ’s voluntary sacrifice; but it is not so stated here, nor was there occasion for it. Evidently the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:21

21. By him As mediator. Only through him do we believe in God; not in a god, as did the heathen, nor in the true God as the Jew knew him, the deliverer from Egypt, but the God who raised our Lord from the dead, and exalted him to the throne of glory. (See St. Peter’s speech, Acts 2:22-36.) Faith… hope Not in order that they might, but rather so that they do, as a result of that resurrection and glorification, sweetly rest in God. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:22

d. Exhortation to fervent love to one another, 1 Peter 1:22-25 . 22. Purified In a degree, at least, and by the means that the gospel provides. By obeying Literally, in obedience, for only so is the faith possible by which purity is wrought. Thus, Mr. Wesley teaches that the sanctifying Spirit is to be looked for, “not in careless indifference, or indolent inactivity, but in vigorous, universal obedience; in denying ourselves, and in taking up our cross daily: as well as in earnest... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:23

23. Born again Mutual brotherly love among Christians has its foundation and reason in the common spiritual birth by which they become sons and daughters together in the family of God. Not of corruptible seed As in the way of ordinary human generation; but of incorruptible seed, namely, by the power of the Holy Spirit imparting the divine nature, through the medium of the word or doctrine of God, (parallel to truth, in 1 Peter 1:22,) preached and believed. And this word liveth and... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:24

24. For Confirming the statement that the word of God lives and abides, by Isaiah, Isaiah 40:5-7, probably quoted from memory and accommodated. It beautifully places the frailty and transitoriness of man and his works in contrast with the enduring character of God’s word. Flesh Man in his earthly, human life. Glory His best and grandest possessions and productions, in which he prides himself, and which win admiration and honour from others, whether strength, wealth, fame, place, or power.... read more

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

25. And now comes the special application: the gospel, which was preached unto you by the first missionaries, and is now diffused among you, by which you were brought into a new spiritual life, is the very word of God that endureth forever. It surely follows that the faith and hope of the Christian rest upon a secure foundation. read more
