ペテロの手紙Ⅰ 2:13-25 JCB

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 2:15

For so is the will of God ,.... Which refers not so much to what goes before; though it is a truth, that it is the will of God that men should be subject to magistrates, and that magistrates should encourage virtue, and discourage vice, reward the obedient, and punish delinquents; but to what follows: that with well doing ; by doing good works, and those well; by living soberly, righteously, and godly; by having the conversation honest among the Gentiles, agreeably to the law of God, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 2:16

As free ,.... These converted Jews might value themselves on their freedom, partly as the descendants of Abraham, and so freeborn, and not to be brought into bondage to other people; and chiefly because of their liberty which they had in and by Christ Jews. The apostle allows that they were freemen, that they were Christ's freemen, were free from sin, its damning and domineering power, and from the curses and condemnation of the law, and had freedom of access to God, and a right to all the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 2:17

Honour all men ,.... To whom honour is due, according to the place, station, and circumstances in which they are, the gifts of providence and grace bestowed on them, and the usefulness they are of, whether they be Jews or Gentiles, rich or poor, believers or unbelievers: it is a saying of Ben Zoma F5 Pirke Abot, c. 4. sect. 1. , "who is to be honoured, or is worthy of honour מכבד את הבריות , "he that honoureth creatures"; meaning men in general, or the Gentiles particularly,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 2:18

Servants, be subject to your masters ,.... This was another notion of the Jews, that because they were the seed of Abraham, they ought not to be the servants of any; and particularly such as were believers in Christ thought they ought not to serve unbelieving masters, nor indeed believing ones, because they were equally brethren in Christ with them; hence the Apostle Peter, here, as the Apostle Paul frequently elsewhere, inculcates this duty of servants to their masters; see 1 Corinthians... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 2:19

For this is thankworthy ,.... Or "grace"; this is a fruit and effect of grace, an instance of it, in which it shows itself: the Syriac version adds, "with God"; and so it is read in one of Beza's copies, and in the Alexandrian copy, and some others; that is, this is grateful to God, and acceptable with him; as in 1 Peter 2:20 , if a man for conscience towards God ; or, "for a good conscience", as the Syriac version reads it; for acting according to his conscience, in matters of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 2:20

For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults ,.... Which ye have committed, and are guilty of, and are truly such: ye shall take it patiently ? to be silent, and not murmur when beaten, within measure, for real faults, is no great honour, nor does it deserve any praise; it is the least that can be done: but if, when ye do well ; either in their master's service, or rather in the business of religion, and the things of God; as when what they do is according to the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 2:21

For even hereunto were ye called ,.... Both to well doing, of which none but those who are called with an holy and effectual calling are capable; and which they are fitted for, and are under obligation to perform, and to suffer for so doing, which they must always expect, and to patience in suffering for it, which highly becomes them. This being then one end of the saints' effectual calling, is made use of as an argument to engage them to the exercise of the grace of patience in suffering... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 2:22

Who did no sin ,.... He was in the likeness of sinful flesh; he looked like a sinful man, being born of a sinful woman, and keeping company with sinful men, being himself a man of sorrows, greatly afflicted, and at last put to death. He was traduced as a sinner by his enemies, and had all the sins of his people on him, which he bore, and made satisfaction for, and were the reason of his sufferings; but he had no sin in his nature, nor did he commit any in his life: neither was guile found... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 2:23

Who when he was reviled, reviled not again ,.... When he was reproached as a glutton, a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners, all the reply he made was, that Wisdom is justified of her children; and when he was charged with casting out devils by Beelzebub, the prince of devils, he defended himself, not with bad language, but with strong reasonings; and when he was said to be a Samaritan, and had a devil, his only answer was, that he had not, that he honoured his Father, and they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 2:24

Who his own self bare our sins ,.... As was typified by the high priest bearing the sins of the holy things of the people of Israel, when he went into the most holy place, and by the scape goat bearing the iniquities of all the people unto a land not inhabited, and as was foretold by the Prophet Isaiah. The apostle here explains the nature and end of Christ's sufferings, which were to make atonement for sins, and which was done by bearing them. What Christ bore were "sins", even all sorts of... read more
