베드로후서 1:1-2 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Peter 1:1

Simon Peter. "Symeon" seems to be the best-supported spelling in this place. The same form of the name is found in Luke 2:25 and Acts 13:1 ; it also occurs in Acts 15:14 , where St. James refers to St. Peter's speech on the great question of the circumcision of Gentile Christians. It is the form always used in the Septuagint Version of the Old Testament. The old man's thoughts go back to his early years; he describes himself by the familiar name of his youth; he uses that Greek... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Peter 1:1

Peter's primacy. We have, in the career and the fame of St. Peter, an extraordinary instance of a man rising from obscurity to renown. A Galilaean fisherman became the leader of the college of apostles, and has for centuries been acknowledged by the whole of Christendom as one of its inspired teachers and counselors; whilst by a great part of Christendom Peter has been regarded as the chief human head and ruler of the Church, first in his own person, and afterwards by those considered to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Peter 1:1-2

Divine blessing by human channels. I. THE TYPE OF MAN BY WHOM BLESSING COMES TO MAN . No one can take any thoughtful view of the book we call the Bible without learning how largely man is the channel of the Divine thought, the Divine emotion, the Divine grace. "Men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Ghost." And their individual manhood colours and tones their teaching. So that not alone by the writings of men, but by their lives— biographies that cluster round... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Peter 1:1-4

The address. I. ST . PETER 'S DESCRIPTION OF HIMSELF . 1 . His name. He wrote "Peter" simply in the First Epistle; he writes "Symeon Peter" now. Apparently he is writing to the same Churches as before; but it is a Second Epistle, he seems to know more of them—he gives his full name. That name contains the history of his soul: the first tells of his admission into the old covenant by circumcision; the second, of his admission into the new covenant through faith in Jesus... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Peter 1:2

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you. The order of the words in the Greek is the same as in 1 Peter 1:2 . The exact correspondence should be noticed. The writer of the Second Epistle, if not St. Peter himself, must have been attempting to imitate of set purpose the opening salutation of the First Epistle. Through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord; rather, in the knowledge. The knowledge of God is the sphere in which grace and peace are communicated to the soul; they cannot be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Peter 1:2-3

Increase of spiritual life dependent on the knowledge of God. Our text strikes the key-note of the Epistle—the need of watchfulness against error. Scripture demands a clear knowledge of revealed truth. On this the maintenance of spiritual life depends; to swerve from Divine truth is to suffer spiritual loss. I. A GREAT INCREASE OF SPIRITUAL BLESSING IS POSSIBLE TO THE BELIEVER . "Grace and peace" we may take as including all spiritual good. Grace is God's part... read more

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

Simon Peter - Margin, “Symeon.” The name is written either “Simon” or “Simeon” - Σίμων Simōn or Συμεών Sumeōn. Either word properly means “hearing;” and perhaps, like other names, was at first significant. The first epistle 1 Peter 1:1 begins simply, “Peter, an apostle,” etc. The name Simon, however, was, his proper name - “Peter,” or “Cephas,” having been added to it by the Saviour, John 1:42. Compare Matthew 16:18.A servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ - In the first epistle the word... read more

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

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord - That is, grace and peace abound to us, or may be expected to be conferred on us abundantly, if we have a true knowledge of God and of the Saviour. Such a knowledge constitutes true religion: for in that we find “grace” - the grace that pardons and sanctifies; and “peace” - peace of conscience, reconciliation with God, and calmness in the trials of life. See the notes at John 17:3. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Peter 1:1-15

1:1-21 GOD’S POWER AT WORK IN BELIEVERSThe truly Christian character (1:1-15)In his righteousness, God has given all Christians, from elderly apostles to new converts, equal blessing through the gospel (1:1-2). He has also given them everything they need to live lives of holiness in a world that is corrupt through uncontrolled passions. The lives of believers must be in keeping with the life of God that has been given them. God’s promises are the assurance of his help in reaching this goal... read more
