彼得前書 5:12 RCUVTS

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Peter 5:12

1 Peter 5:12. By Silvanus, a faithful brother,—(as I suppose,) &c.— This rendering has seemed to many like a questioning the fidelity of Silvanus. The Syriac has thus rendered the words; These few things (as I suppose, or reckon them) I have written unto you by Silvanus, a faithful brother. The word λογιζομαι, which we have translated I suppose, does not signify I conjecture, nor always imply suspicion, or doubting; but is used in the strongest manner to express the most full and firm... read more

12. Silvanus—Silas, the companion of Paul and Timothy: a suitable messenger by whom to confirm, as Peter here does, Paul's doctrine of "the true grace of God" in the same churches (compare :-). We never meet with Silvanus as Paul's companion after Paul's last journey to Jerusalem. His connection with Peter was plainly subsequent to that journey. as I suppose—Join "faithful unto you [STEIGER], as I suppose." Silvanus may have stood in a close relation to the churches in Asia, perhaps having... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Peter 5:12

Silvanus is the Roman form of the Greek name Silas. This Silas may very well have been Paul’s companion on his second missionary journey. Silas may have written this epistle as Peter dictated it or in some other way assisted in its composition. [Note: See Selwyn, pp. 9-17, for a helpful excursus on Silvanus (Silas).] Peter may have taken the pen from Silvanus at this point and written the conclusion himself, as was common (cf. Galatians 6:11; 2 Thessalonians 3:17). It seems more probable,... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Peter 5:12

(12) By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose.—There is not any reason for doubting that this is the same as the Silas of the Acts and the Silvanus of 2 Corinthians 1:19; 1 Thessalonians 1:1; 2 Thessalonians 1:1. It is not a common name, and nothing would suggest the doubt, except the acceptance à priori of the Tübingen theory, that the feud between St. Peter and St. Paul was so deadly as to preclude the possibility of the first giving his patronage to a friend of the second. We... read more

St. Andrew's Day 1 Peter 5:4 St. Andrew's Day has been set apart by the authorities of our Church for the consideration of the great subject of Foreign Missions, and I desire to bring it before you in the light of the Second Advent, for tomorrow, as you know, is Advent Sunday.

Chapter 18 THROUGH PERILS TO VICTORY1 Peter 5:8-14NOT only had these Asian Christians to suffer from the opposition and calumnies of the heathen and from the estrangement of former friends: there were perils within the Churches themselves. There were weak brethren, who fell away when trials came, and infected others with their despondency; there were false brethren, with whom faith was a mere consent of the understanding, and not the spring of a holy, spiritual life. These spake of the liberty... read more
