ペテロの手紙Ⅰ 5:5-6 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Peter 5:5

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder . Is St. Peter still using the last word in its official sense? or is he passing to its ordinary meaning? It seems impossible to answer the question with certainty. Some think that the word νεώτεροι , younger, had also acquired an official meaning, and that it is used here, and in Acts 5:6 of assistant-ministers who were employed to help the presbyters and apostles. Others think that it had a meaning nearly equivalent to our "laity"... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Peter 5:5

"Be clothed," or, according to the Revised Version, "gird yourselves." It is a remarkable word, occurring only here in the New Testament. It means to put on a certain article of dress which according to one view was a kind of "overall" worn by slaves above their other clothing, anti according to another was a white scarf which was part of the slave's dress. In either case it was a mark of servitude; therefore the exhortation is not merely to wear the garment of lowly-mindedness, veiling all... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Peter 5:6

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. The Alexandrine Manuscript and some ancient versions add ἐπισκοπῆς , "in the time of visitation," probably from Luke 19:44 . For "the mighty hand of God," comp. Deuteronomy 3:24 ; Luke 1:51 . St. Peter was doubtless thinking of the well-remembered words of the Lord, "He that humbleth himself shall be exalted." read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 5:5

Likewise, ye younger - All younger persons of either sex.Submit yourselves unto the elder - That is, with the respect due to their age, and to the offices which they sustain. There is here, probably, a particular reference to those who sustained the office of elders or teachers, as the same word is used here which occurs in 1 Peter 5:1. As there was an allusion in that verse, by the use of the word, to age, so there is in this verse to the fact that they sustained an office in the church. The... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 5:6

Humble yourselves therefore - Be willing to take a low place - a place such as becomes you. Do not arrogate to yourselves what does not belong to you; do not evince pride and haughtiness in your manner; do not exalt yourselves above others. See the notes at Luke 14:7-11. Compare Proverbs 15:33; Proverbs 18:12; Proverbs 22:4; Micah 6:8; Philippians 2:8.Under the mighty hand of God - This refers probably to the calamities which he had brought upon them, or was about to bring upon them;... read more

Perhaps, as in the preceding part of this chapter, the apostle, by elders, means persons holding sacred offices,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 5:1-14

5:1-14 LEADERSHIP, HUMILITY AND WATCHFULNESSChurch elders are to be sincere, understanding and hard-working in looking after the church that God has placed in their care. They are to be shepherds who care for the flock because they are interested in the flock’s welfare, not because they want to make money (5:1-2). They must not use their authority to force people, but rather show by example how Christians should act. They must remember that they themselves are answerable to the Chief Shepherd,... read more

Likewise, ye younger, be subject unto the elder. Yea, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to serve one another: for God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.Ye younger ... "The reference here is to age, not to official rank. Younger men are to defer to their elders."[22] Despite this view which is quite common among commentators, however, Kelcy observed that "There is no evidence of a transition of thought from one group to another,"[23] therefore construing the passage as... read more
