Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - 1 Peter 5:1-14

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. 'When the Chief Shepherd shall appear.' As I hear that message it tells me three things. I. There is a Chief Shepherd. First it tells me that there is a Chief Shepherd. As we think of our great cities and of the... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 5:5-7

Chapter 17 BE CLOTHED WITH HUMILITY1 Peter 5:5-7HAVING admonished the shepherds, the Apostle now turns to the flock, and his words recall the exhortations, which he has given several times before. In 1 Peter 2:13 he taught Christian subjects the duty of submission, even should it be their lot to live under heathen rulers. A few verses further on in the same chapter he repeated this teaching to Christian slaves with heathen masters, and the third chapter opens with advice of the same character... read more

V. EXHORTATIONS CONCERNING SERVICE AND CONFLICT CHAPTER 5 1. As to Christian service (1 Peter 5:1-7 ) 2. Conflict and victory (1 Peter 5:8-11 ) 3. The conclusion (1 Peter 5:12-14 ) 1 Peter 5:1-7 Peter now speaks in great tenderness exhorting to service. The exhortation is addressed to the elders and he speaks of himself as a “fellow-elder.” Does he mean by this an official title or does he mean simply his age and experience? He is not writing in any official capacity, but the word elder... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 5:1-14

Consistently with Peter's subject of governmental order, he now address elders in v.1, and those younger in v.5. Proper balance in this relationship is always deeply important, for on either side friction can too easily arise, and the elder lose the valuable help of the younger, and the young lose the wisdom and counsel of the elder. To the elder Peter speaks as being himself an elder, not only experienced, but also an actual witness of the sufferings of Christ. And he adds to this the future... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 5:1-14

OBLIGATIONS OF HOPE INWARD HOSPITALITY (1 Peter 4:7-11 ) by which we understand spiritual rather than physical hospitality, though the latter need not be excluded from the thought. 1 Peter 4:10-11 for example, suggest 1 Corinthians 12:0 ; Romans 12:3-8 ; Ephesians 4:7-16 , etc., in which Paul is teaching the duty of the members of the Body of Christ to minister to one another of their spiritual gifts without judging. PATIENCE (1 Peter 4:12-19 ) 1 Peter 4:12 shows that the opposition to the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Peter 5:5-14

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. (6) Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: (7) Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. (8) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: (9) Whom resist steadfast in... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 5:5-9

5-9 Humility preserves peace and order in all Christian churches and societies; pride disturbs them. Where God gives grace to be humble, he will give wisdom, faith, and holiness. To be humble, and subject to our reconciled God, will bring greater comfort to the soul than the gratification of pride and ambition. But it is to be in due time; not in thy fancied time, but God's own wisely appointed time. Does he wait, and wilt not thou? What difficulties will not the firm belief of his wisdom,... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 1 Peter 5:1-99

1Pet 5 WHEN CHRISTIANS ARE passing through times of persecution and suffering, so much depends upon there being a right and happy condition amongst themselves. The Apostle Peter, therefore, supplements his warnings as to the persecution with some words of admonition addressed respectively to the elder and the younger amongst the disciples. Between such friction may easily develop, as we know right well. The tendency to develop friction has always existed but never more so than now, inasmuch as... read more

1 Peter 5:5-11Analysis:—Exhortation, addressed especially to the younger, to subjection, and to all, to continued humility, to submissiveness to the hand of God, to faithfulness and vigilance, and thus to resist the devil. God Himself will then perfect and strengthen them.5Likewise, ye younger,17submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject18 one to another, and be clothed19 with humility:20for God resisteth21 the proud and 22giveth grace to the humble. 6Humble yourselves... read more
