Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Peter 1:3

2 Peter 1:3. According as his divine power— Some would read this verse in a parenthesis, as an incidental thought, and so connect the 2nd and 4th verses. Others would connect this with the foregoing verse;—Grace and peace be multiplied unto you, in or by the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord; according as his divine power hath bestowed upon us all things pertaining, &c. But the salutation being finished in the foregoing verse, the epistle seems to begin here, and the connection to be... read more

1. Simon—the Greek form: in oldest manuscripts, "Symeon" (Hebrew, that is, "hearing), as in :-. His mention of his original name accords with the design of this Second Epistle, which is to warn against the coming false teachers, by setting forth the true "knowledge" of Christ on the testimony of the original apostolic eye-witnesses like himself. This was not required in the First Epistle. servant—"slave": so Paul, Romans 1:1. to them, c.—He addresses a wider range of readers (all believers)... read more

Grace . . . peace— ( :-). through—Greek, "in": the sphere IN which alone grace and peace can be multiplied. knowledge—Greek, "full knowledge." of God, and of Jesus our Lord—The Father is here meant by "God," but the Son in 2 Peter 1:1: marking how entirely one the Father and Son are (2 Peter 1:1- :). The Vulgate omits "of God and"; but oldest manuscripts support the words. Still the prominent object of Peter's exhortation is "the knowledge of Jesus our Lord" (a phrase only in Romans 4:24),... read more

3. According as, c.—Seeing that [ALFORD]. "As He hath given us ALL things (needful) for life and godliness, (so) do you give us ALL diligence," &c. The oil and flame are given wholly of grace by God, and "taken" by believers: their part henceforth is to "trim their lamps" (compare 2 Peter 1:3 2 Peter 1:4; 2 Peter 1:5, c.). life and godliness—Spiritual life must exist first before there can be true godliness. Knowledge of God experimentally is the first step to life (John 17:3). The child... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Peter 1:1

The writer could hardly have stated his identity more clearly than he did in this verse. "Simon" was Peter’s Hebrew name, and "Peter" is the Greek translation of the nickname Cephas ("Rocky," cf. Matthew 16:18). There is only one Peter mentioned in the New Testament."Double names like ’Simon Peter’ were common in the ancient Near East. Many people used both the name they were given in their native language and a Greek name, since Greek was so widely spoken." [Note: Moo, p. 33.] This is the only... read more

I. INTRODUCTION 1:1-2Peter began his second epistle as he did to introduce himself to his readers and to lay a foundation for what follows. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Peter 1:2

The first half of Peter’s benediction on his readers is identical with the one he gave in his first epistle (1 Peter 1:2). Grace and peace were the typical greetings the Greeks and Jews used respectively. This probably suggests that Peter wrote this epistle to a mixed audience of Christians, as he did his former letter. Both grace and peace come to us through the full knowledge (Gr. epignosei) of God and of Jesus (again equal, cf. 2 Peter 1:1). The Greeks, and especially the Gnostics, prided... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Peter 1:3

Grace and peace are possible since God has given us (all Christians) everything we need to live godly lives."’Power’ is one of the key-words of the epistle." [Note: Sidebottom, p. 105.] It is possible that Peter meant the apostles specifically when he wrote "us" in 2 Peter 1:3-4. [Note: R. H. Strachan, "The Second Epistle General of Peter," in The Expositor’s Greek Testament, 5:124.] The apostles are evidently in view in 2 Peter 1:1 ("ours"), and they may contrast with the readers ("you") in 2... read more

A. The Believer’s Resources 1:3-4Peter reminded his readers of God’s power and promises that were available to them. He did this to rekindle an appreciation for the resources God had given them in view of their present needs. This epistle begins and ends on a note of victory (cf. 2 Peter 3:14-18). read more

II. THE CONDITION OF THE CHRISTIAN 1:3-11"The first chapter vividly portrays the nature of the Christian life with its challenge to spiritual growth and maturity, built on a sure foundation. The second part of the epistle is a ringing polemic against the false teachers who would allure and seek to mislead God’s people, while the third chapter deals with the heretical denial of the return of Christ and concludes with some fitting exhortation to the readers."
