彼得後書 3:1 CUNPTS

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

2 Peter 3:1-2. The doctrines and precepts delivered by the prophets and apostles, being the most effectual means of preserving the Christian converts from being seduced by the false teachers spoken of in the preceding chapter, the apostle begins this with informing the brethren that his design in writing both his epistles was to bring these doctrines and precepts to their remembrance. And as one of the greatest of these men’s errors was their denying the coming of Christ to judge the world,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Peter 3:1-7

3:1-18 SIGNIFICANCE OF CHRIST’S RETURNAssurance of his coming (3:1-7)The activity of the false teachers is no reason for the Christians to panic or become confused. Peter’s teaching has followed that of the Old Testament prophets and the New Testament apostles, both in helping develop pure faith and in warning those who would try to corrupt that faith (3:1-2).Christians should not be discouraged by those who scoff at the idea of Christ’s second coming. Such people argue that Christ will not... read more

CHAPTER 3There is here a continuation of the discussion of the great apostasy to occur in the "last days" (2 Peter 3:1-7), revelations concerning the "day of the Lord," with refutation of the mockers (2 Peter 3:8-13), and exhortations to stedfastness, and the doxology (2 Peter 3:14-18).This is now, beloved, the second epistle that I write unto you; and in both of them, I stir up your sincere mind by putting you in remembrance; (2 Peter 3:1)Beloved ...

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Peter 3:1

2 Peter 3:1. Your pure minds— Your sincere minds. This seems to be an intimation that their minds were not yet corrupted, either by the false teachers, or by the scoffers. They were through Divine grace pure, or untainted with the evils which he describes; and St. Peter was desirous that they should continue so, 2 Peter 3:17. It was his grand view in both his epistles, to stir up their untainted and sincere minds to remember and attend to what they had learned from the apostles and prophets.... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Peter 3:1

Peter’s first letter was most likely 1 Peter. Of course, Peter may have written many epistles, so we cannot be sure that 1 Peter is in view. [Note: Bigg, p. 289.] The apostle implied that he wrote this present letter soon after the earlier one. This second epistle, he said, went to the same audience in northern Asia Minor (cf. 1 Peter 1:1), primarily Gentile Christians. His purpose in writing the second letter was to refresh his readers’ memories (cf. 2 Peter 1:13). "Sincere" means unflawed by... read more

V. THE PROSPECT FOR THE CHRISTIAN 3:1-16 Peter turned from a negative warning against false teachers to make a positive declaration of the apostles’ message to help his readers understand why he wrote this letter. His language had been strong and confrontational, but now he spoke with love and encouragement in gentle and endearing terms."While in chapter 2 the writer delivered a fervid denunciation of the false teachers and their immorality, in this section he renews his pastoral concern to... read more

Antidote Against Despising the Day of the Lord. Exhortation. Doxology2 Peter 3 may be subdivided into three parts: (a) 2 Peter 3:1-7. ’This Second Epistle is a reminder of what prophets and apostles have said. Those who would understand it must first know that, though mockers will deny this, there will be an end of the present world by fire, as once it was overwhelmed by water. This will be a day of judgment and destruction for the ungodly. (b) 2 Peter 3:8-13. As for the delay, which induces... read more
