ペテロの手紙Ⅰ 2:19-20 JCB

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 2:20

Verse 20 It is not, however, an assertion without its difficulty, when he says, that there is nothing praiseworthy in him who is justly punished; for, when the Lord punishes our sins, patience is certainly a sacrifice of sweet odour to him, that is, when we bear with a submissive mind our punishment. But to this I reply, that Peter does not here speak simply but comparatively; for it is a small and slender praise to bear with submission a just punishment, in comparison with that of an innocent... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Peter 2:19

For this is thankworthy ; literally, this is grace (comp. Luke 6:32 , ποία ὑμῖν χάρις ἐστί ; "What thank have ye?" where the parallel passage in St. Matthew is τίνα μισθὸν ἔχετε ; "What reward have ye?"). A comparison of these passages seems to show that χάρις and μισθός are used in a similar sense as expressive of God's condescending love. In his gracious tenderness he speaks of reward, though we deserve only punishment; he even speaks of thanks, though we deserve... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Peter 2:20

For what glory is it? The word translated "glory" ( κλέος ), common in Greek poetry, occurs nowhere else in the New Testament. It means, first, "rumor, report;" then "fame, renown." If, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently ; literally, if sinning and being buffeted . The word translated "buffeted" ( κολαφιζόμενοι ), used by St. Matthew and St. Mark in describing our Savior's sufferings, has a figurative meaning in 1 Corinthians 4:11 ; 2 Corinthians... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 2:19

For this is thank-worthy - Margin, “thank.” Greek, “This is grace,” (χάρις charis). Doddridge renders the expression, “This is graceful indeed.” Various interpretations of this expression have been proposed; but the meaning evidently is, that it is acceptable to God, (see 1 Peter 2:20, “this is acceptable to God” - χάρις παρὰ Θεῷ charis para Theō;) that is, this will be regarded by him with favor. It does not mean that it was worthy of thanks, or that God would thank them for doing it,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 2:20

For what glory is it - What honor or credit would it be.If, when ye be buffeted for your faults - That is, if you are punished when you deserve it. The word “buffet” (κολαφίζω kolaphizō) - means, to strike with the fist; and then to strike in any way; to maltreat, Matthew 26:67; Mar 14:65; 1 Corinthians 4:11; 2 Corinthians 12:7. Perhaps there may be a reference here to the manner in which servants were commonly treated, or the kind of pun ishment to which they were exposed. They would be... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Peter 2:18-20

1 Peter 2:18-20. Servants Οι οικεται , household servants, be subject to your masters Though heathen, in all things lawful; with all fear Of offending them or God; not only to the good The tender, kind; and gentle Mild, easy, forgiving; but also to the froward The ill-natured and severe. “In this verse,” as Macknight justly observes, “the apostle establishes one of the noblest and most important principles of morality, namely, that our obligation to relative duties does not depend... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 2:11-25

2:11-3:12 CHRISTIAN RELATIONSHIPSIn society (2:11-25)The present world is not the true home of those who have come into a living relationship with Jesus Christ. They are now God’s people and they belong to the heavenly kingdom. But their higher status and greater citizenship do not give them the right to do as they like in the present world. They must discipline and control themselves. Negatively, they must not give in to the desires of the sinful nature; positively, they must maintain right... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Peter 2:19

For this is acceptable, if for conscience toward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully.If for conscience toward God ... "This comes from a Greek phrase which means awareness of God.[50] The point of its inclusion here is that of forbidding the notion that patient suffering is in itself pleasing to God, which is not the case at all, "unless it is grounded on consciousness of God's presence."[51]Endureth griefs ... This is a reference to the cruel, and even inhumane, sadistic treatment... read more
