Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Peter 5:10

And the God of all grace, who called you unto his eternal glory in Christ, after that ye have suffered a little while, shall himself perfect, establish, strengthen you.In Christ ... Peter's usage of this mighty phrase, both here and at the end of the epistle, indicates his respect and appreciation of the doctrine, no less than that of Paul, despite the fact that he did not emphasize it as Paul did.After ye have suffered a little while ... A while should here be understood for "the whole of... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Peter 5:10

1 Peter 5:10. But the God of all grace— That is, "The most merciful and gracious God." It is remarkable, that St. Paul has usually given God a title, according to the subject whereof he is treating. If he was treating of peace, then he was the God of peace; if of love, he was the God of love; if of grace, he was the God of grace. St. Peter has with like propriety styled him, the God of all grace, or favour; and the two favours which he particularly mentions are, the calling of these Gentiles to... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 5:10

10. Comforting assurance that God will finally "perfect" His work of "grace" in them, after they have undergone the necessary previous suffering. But—Only do you watch and resist the foe: God will perform the rest [BENGEL]. of all grace—(Compare 1 Peter 4:10). The God to whom as its source all grace is to be referred; who in grace completes what in grace He began. He from the first "called (so the oldest manuscripts read for "us") unto (with a view to) glory." He will not let His purpose fall... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Peter 5:1-11

B. The Church under Trial 5:1-11Peter concluded the body of his epistle and this section on encouragement in suffering with specific commands so his readers would understand how to live while suffering for Christ."An intimate personal note runs through this section, the author alluding to himself and his own experience and standing more directly than heretofore, and addressing his readers, especially those in the ministry, with primary regard to their pastoral relationship to one another in the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Peter 5:10

We have on our side One who is able to overcome our adversary the devil. Furthermore God gives sufficient grace (2 Corinthians 12:9). He has called us to experience eternal glory ultimately (1 Peter 1:1). Both our calling and our glory are in Christ. God will make us complete (Gr. katartizo, "to mend [nets]," Matthew 4:21) establish us, strengthen us for service, and give us peace in His will."What Peter has done is pile up a number of closely related terms that together by their reinforcing... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Peter 5:1-11

V.(1-11) FURTHER EXHORTATIONS SUGGESTED BY THE CRISIS.—The officers of the community are not to flinch from the duties imposed upon them, nor yet to perform them in any spirit of self-assertion. The laity, on the other hand, are to observe discipline. Indeed, mutual submission is the only safe-guard in the face of a common danger. An unbroken front must be presented, and the sense of brotherhood fostered. read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Peter 5:10

(10) Who hath called us unto his eternal glory.—The true reading is, who called you, not “us.” The moment of the call was that when St. Paul and the others first preached there. (See 1 Peter 1:12; 1 Peter 1:25, and Notes.) The God who now bestows all grace, by the giving of that grace calls us into glory.“The men of grace have foundGlory begun below.”By Christ Jesus.—On the whole it seems best, with Tischendorf, to drop the name of Jesus out of the text: the title “Christ” will then stand... read more
