1 Peter 5:1-11 ASV

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Peter 5:3

Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.Neither as lording over the heritage — Behaving in a haughty, domineering manner, as though you had dominion over their conscience. The word translated heritage, is, literally, the portions. There is one flock under the one chief Shepherd; but many portions of this, under many pastors.But being examples to the flock — This procures the most ready and free obedience. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Peter 5:5

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.Ye younger, be subject to the elder — In years.And be all — Elder or younger.Subject to each other — Let every one be ready, upon all occasions, to give up his own will. Be clothed with humility-Bind it on, (so the word signifies,) so that no force may be able to tear it from you. James 4:6; Proverbs 3:34 read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Peter 5:8

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:But in the mean time watch. There is a close connexion between this, and the duly casting our care upon him. How deeply had St. Peter himself suffered for want of watching! Be vigilant - As if he had said, Awake, and keep awake. Sleep no more: be this your care.As a roaring lion — Full of rage.Seeking — With all subtilty likewise.Whom he may devour or swallow up — Both soul and... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Peter 5:9

Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.Be the more steadfast, as ye know the same kind of afflictions are accomplished in - That is, suffered by, your brethren, till the measure allotted them is filled up. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Peter 5:10

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.Now the God of all grace — By which alone the whole work is begun, continued, and finished in your soul.After ye have suffered a while — A very little while compared with eternity.Himself — Ye have only to watch and resist the devil: the rest God will perform.Perfect — That no defect may remain.Stablish — That nothing may... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 5:1

7. Exhortations to the elders, and also to the Church, 1 Peter 5:1-9. 1. The elders Officially so, having pastoral charge in the local churches. In times of persecution, much depended on their prudence and fidelity. Tregelles and Alford insert here a therefore. Also an elder Better, a fellow elder, holding a common office with them. Witness To testify to the sufferings of Christ, as in 1 Peter 4:1. The word does not mean eye-witness, as Alford puts it, although St. Peter doubtless... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 5:2

2. Feed the flock Rather, Tend the flock. The flock is the Church, and belongs to God; the work of the elders is to tend it as shepherds, guiding, teaching, watching, feeding. It can hardly be that there was not present in St. Peter’s mind the memorable scene on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, (John 21:15-17,) in which Jesus used to him nearly the same words: “Tend my sheep.” All that it meant as addressed to him, it means here as addressed to the elders. Taking… thereof... read more

3. As (3) to manner. Neither… lords over Not as lording it. History furnishes a sad commentary on this injunction in the pretended successors of St. Peter in the papal chair claiming to be apostolic lords, vicegerents of Christ, with supreme authority over all kings, kingdoms, and people, and addressed as Most Holy Lord, and, Our Lord God the Pope. Heritage The word means a portion assigned by lot; and thence an assignment by any means. It here is the portions of the Church committed... read more
