ペテロの第一の手紙 2:1-2 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Peter 2:1-3

The argument so far is as follows: Redemption; this issuing on holiness; that leading to the fear that they should prove to be without redemption; that fear being excited, the test of love is suggested. They are regarded as bearing that test, and proving their possession of life. The next idea is obviously that of growth. I. WE HAVE HERE THE IDEA OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH . 1. That implies life. Only living things can grow. Peter can speak of growth because he calls them... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Peter 2:1-3

In this "therefore" (Revised Version) our apostle gathers up the argument, perhaps, of all the preceding part of the letter, certainly of the passage immediately preceding this; viz. if we as Christians have begun to live this higher life, how will its early stage manifest himself? So we naturally note— I. SOME OF THE SIGNS OF SPIRITUAL CHILDHOOD . One of the signs that Christian men and women are, what Peter had heard the Lord say they ought to be, like little... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Peter 2:1-10

I. ITS GROWTH . 1. What must be shunned . St. Paul bids us work out our own salvation. The new birth is the beginning; that comes from God—from his free grace. "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost." But the new man must grow; and that growth is not spontaneous; it will not evolve itself without effort from the" incorruptible seed." Progress, growth in grace,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Peter 2:1-10

I. NEWBORN BABES . 1. Duty conditioning appetite for the Ignorant. "Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil-speakings." This duty is connected with the foregoing ("therefore"), as coming under it. As the regenerate, we are to put away all dispositions and manifestations that offend against good brotherhood. We are to put away first, as being the radical vice, all malice (as we should read, with the old translation), i.e. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Peter 2:2

As newborn babes . The words look back to 1 Peter 1:3 , 1 Peter 1:23 . God begat them again; they were new-born babes in Christ, they must remember their regeneration. The rabbis used the same metaphor of their proselytes; but the apostle was doubtless thinking of the Savior's words. Desire the sincere milk of the Word. Desire, long for it eagerly ( ἐπιποθήσατε ) , as babes long for milk, their proper food, the only food necessary for them. It seems that in the adjective ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Peter 2:2

There has just been a reference to regeneration as effected by the incorruptible seed of the Word. The metaphor is carried on in these words, which speak of the nourishment and growth of the regenerate. There does not, however, appear to be any limitation of the injunction of our text to Christians in an early stage. For all stages of the Christian life on earth the food which nourishes is the same. All should be growing, and the most mature is still, when his attainments are contrasted with... read more

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

Wherefore laying aside - On the word rendered laying aside, see Romans 13:12; Ephesians 4:22, Ephesians 4:25; Colossians 3:8. The allusion is to putting off clothes; and the meaning is, that we are to cast off these things entirely; that is, we are no longer to practice them. The word “wherefore” (οὖν oun) refers to the reasonings in the first chapter. In view of the considerations stated there, we should renounce all evil.All malice - All “evil,” (κακίαν kakian.) The word “malice” we... read more

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

As new-born babes - The phrase used here would properly denote those which were just born, and hence Christians who had just begun the spiritual life. See the word explained in the notes at 2 Timothy 3:15. It is not uncommon, in the Scriptures, to compare Christians with little children. See the notes at Matthew 18:3, for the reasons of this comparison. Compare the 1 Corinthians 3:2 note; Hebrews 5:12, Hebrews 5:14 notes.Desire the sincere milk of the word - The pure milk of the word. On the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Peter 2:1-3

1 Peter 2:1-3. Wherefore Since the word of God is so excellent and durable in itself, and has had such a blessed effect upon you as to regenerate you, and bring you to the enjoyment of true Christian love; laying aside As utterly inconsistent with that love; all malice All ill- will, every unkind disposition; or all wickedness, as κακιαν may be properly rendered, all sinful tempers and practices whatsoever; and all guile All craft, deceitful cunning, and artifice, every temper... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 2:1-3

Fruits of salvation (1:13-2:3)Now that Christians have received such a great salvation, they should discipline their thoughts and behaviour so that they will always be ready for the return of Jesus Christ (13). They should think and act not according to their former habits, but according to the ways of God. They should pattern their character not on the people of the sinful society around them, but on the holy God (14-16).As Christians reverence God as their Father and Judge, they will want to... read more
