彼得後書 1:12-14 CUNPTS

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 1:14

Verse 14 14I must put off this my tabernacle. Literally the words are, “Short is the putting; away of this tabernacle.” By this mode of speaking, and afterwards by the word “departing,” he designates death, which it behooves us to notice; for we are here taught how much death differs from perdition. Besides, too much dread of death terrifies us, because we do not sufficiently consider how fading and evanescent this life is, and do not reflect on the perpetuity of future life. But what does... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Peter 1:12

Wherefore I will net be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things; rather, as in the Revised Version, wherefore I shall be ready. This reading ( μελλήσω ) is better supported than that of the T.R. ( οὐκ ὀμελήσω ) . (For this use of μέλλειν with the infinitive almost as a periphrasis for the future, compare, in the Greek, Matthew 24:6 .) The apostle will take every opportunity of reminding his readers of the truths and duties which he has been describing,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Peter 1:12-14

An old man's aim. I. AN AIM FOR THE HIGHEST GOOD OF OTHERS . Peter is desiring that "these things" should be remembered by others for their benefit and blessing. "These things" probably comprehend not only all the exhortations and promises the letter had already contained, but the great facts in the great biography to which ever and again, with the vividness of an eye-witness, Peter had referred. II. An aim for the highest good of others AFTER HIS OWN DEATH . He... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Peter 1:12-15

The saint's earnest endeavour to enforce spiritual truth. At the close of Peter's life the corrupt heresies of the second and third centuries were threatened, and against these he would fortify the Church by making them "mindful" of the Word of God. The Church would be strong—strong to resist the encroachments of heresy, if established in the knowledge of God through Scripture. The apostle's work was nearly done, the end of his pilgrimage was in sight, but he could not rest till he had... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Peter 1:12-21

Reasons for diligence in his apostolic work. I. THE TIME IS SHOUT . 1 . We need continually to be aroused. We may know all things necessary for salvation; we have known them, it may be, all our lives; we are firmly convinced of their truth; but we need to keep that knowledge vividly before our hearts, to bring it to bear upon the circumstances of our daily lives. Few of us have this recollectedness, this persevering watchfulness; we need constant exhortation. St. Peter's... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Peter 1:13

Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle; rather, as in the Revised Version, and I think it right. The natural body is but a tabernacle for the soul, a tent to dwell in during our earthly pilgrimage, not a permanent habitation. The word reminds us of 2 Corinthians 5:1-4 , where St. Paul uses the same metaphor; and also of St. Peter's words at the Transfiguration, "Let us make three tabernacles." To stir you up by putting you in remembrance; literally, to arouse you in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Peter 1:14

Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle; literally, knowing that swift is the putting off of my tabernacle. St. Peter may mean by these words either that his death was near at hand, or that, when it came, it would be sudden, a violent death, not a lengthened illness. So Bengel, "Qui diu aegrotant, possunt altos adhuc pascere. Crux id Petro non erat permisura. Ideo prius agit quod agendum est." Compare the use of the same word ( ταχινή ) in 2 Peter 2:1 . St. Paul, in 2... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Peter 1:12

Wherefore I will not be negligent - That is, in view of the importance of these things.To put you always in remembrance - To give you the means of having them always in remembrance; to wit, by his writings.Though ye know them - It was of importance for Peter, as it is for ministers of the gospel now, to bring known truths to remembrance. Men are liable to forget them, and they do not exert the influence over them which they ought. It is the office of the ministry not only to impart to a people... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Peter 1:13

Yea, I think it meet - I think it becomes me as an apostle. It is my appropriate duty; a duty which is felt the more as the close of life draws near.As long as I am in this tabernacle - As long as I live; as long as I am in the body. The body is called a tabernacle, or tent, as that in which the soul resides for a little time. See the notes at 2 Corinthians 5:1.To stir you up, by putting you in remembrance - To excite or arouse you to a diligent performance of your duties; to keep up in your... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Peter 1:14

Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle - That I must die. This he knew, probably, because he was growing old, and was reaching the outer period of human life. It does not appear that he had any express revelation on the point.Even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me - See the notes at John 21:18-19. This does not mean that he had any new revelation on the subject, showing him that he was soon to die, as many of the ancients supposed; but the idea is, that the time drew near... read more
