Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Peter 1:25

1 Peter 1:25. The word of the Lord endureth for ever.— The word of God is said to be incorruptible, to be alive, and to endure for ever, because it teaches men the way to life; or, if complied with, begins a life of happiness, which will, to the faithful, never end; which is the seed or principle of a spiritual and incorruptible, of a glorious and happy life, which will endure for ever. See John 3:36; John 5:24; John 5:47; John 6:27; John 6:63.Romans 8:6; Romans 8:6. 1 John 2:17. The connection... read more

25. ( :-.) this is the word . . . preached unto you—That is eternal which is born of incorruptible seed (1 Peter 1:24): but ye have received the incorruptible seed, the word (1 Peter 1:24- :); therefore ye are born for eternity, and so are bound now to live for eternity (1 Peter 1:22; 1 Peter 1:23). Ye have not far to look for the word; it is among you, even the joyful Gospel message which we preach. Doubt not that the Gospel preached to you by our brother Paul, and which ye have embraced, is... read more

B. Our New Way of Life 1:13-25Peter wanted his readers to live joyfully in the midst of sufferings. Consequently he outlined his readers’ major responsibilities to enable them to see their duty clearly so they could carry it out. These responsibilities were their duties to God, to other believers, and to the world.The first sub-section of this epistle (1 Peter 1:3-12) stressed walking in hope. The second sub-section (1 Peter 1:13-25) emphasizes walking in holiness, reverence, and love. Peter... read more

3. A life of love 1:22-25Peter next turned his attention from the believer’s duty to God to the believer’s duty to his or her Christian brethren. He did so to explain further the implications of living joyfully during trials and suffering. He returned to what he set out to do in 1 Peter 1:13, namely, to spell out the implications of Christian faith and hope. However, he continued to reflect on the theological basis of our ethical responsibilities. He would get into practical Christian ethics... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Peter 1:24-25

This quotation from Isaiah 40:6-8 contrasts the transitory character of nature and the eternality of God’s Word (cf. James 1:10-11). Every natural thing eventually dies and disappears, the opposite of God’s living and abiding Word (cf. Matthew 24:35; Mark 13:31; Luke 21:33). The seed lives and abides, and so do those to whom it gives new life."My friend, we need the preaching and the teaching of the Word of God above everything else. I do not mean to minimize the place of music, the place of... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Peter 1:13-25

(13-4: 6) EXHORTATION TO KEEP A PURE CONSCIENCE.—It is the only charm against persecution. It is like Christ to suffer with a good conscience; and He had His reward for it, in bringing us, and even the spirits of men who had died impenitent, to God thereby. It is the very meaning of the baptism by which He saves us. To feel its beauty and safety, we have but to consider the ugliness and danger of our former life. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Peter 1:25

(25) The word which by the gospel is preached.—An incorrect rendering of the original tense. It literally runs, And this is the word which was preached unto you. The whole magnificent peroration of this paragraph, as of the last, leads up to this: that, in the opinion of St. Peter, the Gospel, as delivered by St. Paul and his followers—the Gospel of equality, or rather of unity between Jew and Gentile in Jesus Christ—was the living and supreme abiding revelation of the will of God! Well may the... read more

The Trial of Faith 1 Peter 1:6-7 What is faith? Faith is the heart setting to its seal that God is true. Faith is an appropriating grace. Faith is an apprehending grace. True faith has a quick ear, a clear eye, a ready hand, and a Divine capacity for the word of God. One is tempted to ask, Why does our heavenly Father permit the faith of His poor children to be tried? The answer is in our text, because the trial of your faith is much more 'precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be... read more
