ペテロの手紙Ⅱ 3:17-18 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Peter 3:14-18

A tender concluding appeal. In these words the apostle gets near, as a shepherd of souls tending the flock, to those whom he would bless. I. lie MAKES THEIR DISCIPLINE A PLEA FOR REACHING A BLESSED IDEAL . 1 . Their discipline. How much is involved in "these things"? 2 . Their ideal. "Be found in peace, without spot, and blameless." 3 . Their struggle. "Give diligence." II. HE INDICATES THAT THE MYSTERY OF DELAYED JUDGMENT IS A ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Peter 3:17

Ye therefore, beloved, seeing that ye know these things before. The pronoun "ye" is emphatic; others have gone astray; "continue ye faithful." The construction is participial, and there is no expressed object; literally, "knowing before," i.e., that false teachers will arise. Beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness; rather, as in the Revised Version, lest, being carried away … ye fall. It is interesting to notice that the word... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Peter 3:18

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Growth is necessary for steadfastness; we cannot persevere unless we continually advance in faith. Some, as Alford, take the genitive with "grace" as well as with "knowledge;" but this connection forces us to regard it first as subjective, then as objective—the grace which Christ gives, and the knowledge of which he is the Object—and so seems somewhat forced. St. Peter insists on the knowledge of Christ as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Peter 3:18

Growth. The Apostle Paul is recorded to have enjoined his converts to "continue in the grace of God." And this is necessary to the Christian life, but it is not all that is necessary. To abide is not to be stationary. The Apostle Peter here instructs us that it is required of Christians that they not only continue in grace, but grow in grace. I. THE DIVINE LAW OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH . It is well that the tree be planted in a rich and suitable soil; that there be room for its... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Peter 3:17

Seeing that ye know these things before - Being aware of this danger, and knowing that such results may follow. People should read the Bible with the feeling that it is possible that they may fall into error, and be deceived at last. This apprehension will do much to make them diligent, and candid, and prayerful, in studying the Word of God.With the error of the wicked - Wicked men. Such as he had referred to in 2 Peter 2:0, who became public teachers of religion.Fall from your own... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Peter 3:18

But grow in grace - Compare Colossians 1:10. Religion in general is often represented as “grace,” since every part of it is the result of grace, or of unmerited favor; and to “grow in grace” is to increase in that which constitutes true religion. Religion is as susceptible of cultivation and of growth as any other virtue of the soul. It is feeble in its beginnings, like the grain of mustard seed, or like the germ or blade of the plant, and it increases as it is cultivated. There is no piety in... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Peter 3:17-18

2 Peter 3:17-18. Therefore, seeing ye know these things before Respecting the coming of the Lord to judgment, in what an awful manner the scene will close, and what dreadful vengeance will be executed on all the wicked, and especially on those that pollute the Church of Christ, into which they have professed to enter; and that scoffers will arise and ridicule the promise of Christ’s coming, as also the danger there is of misunderstanding and misinterpreting the Scriptures, and so of being... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Peter 3:8-18

Reasons for the delay (3:8-18)Some people may wonder why there is such a delay before Christ’s return. The answer is that from God’s point of view there is no delay, since he does not view time according to human standards. Eternity is not time carried on and on indefinitely, but is an entirely different order of things. If there seems to be a delay from the human point of view, it is because God is waiting as long as possible, so that people might realize the seriousness of their sins and turn... read more
