ペテロの第二の手紙 2:6-10 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Peter 2:7

And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked; literally, and delivered righteous Lot, who was being worn out ( καταπονούμενον ; comp. Acts 7:24 , the only other place of the New Testament where the word occurs) with the behaviour of the lawless in licentiousness. The word translated "lawless" ( ἀθέσμων ) is found only in one other place of the New Testament ( 2 Peter 3:17 ); but it is near akin to the ἀθεμίτοις ("abominable") of 1 Peter... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Peter 2:8

For that righteous man dwelling among them; literally, for the righteous man. It was through his own choice that he dwelt among the people of Sodom. The recollection of this grave mistake must have added bitterness to the daily distress caused by the sins of his neighbours ( Genesis 13:11 ). In seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds. The words, "in seeing and hearing," are best connected with the verb that follows, not with "righteous"... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Peter 2:9

The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished. We have here the apodosis corresponding with the conditional sentence beginning at 2 Peter 2:4 . The three examples cited by St. Peter show that the Lord knows (and with the Lord knowledge involves power) how to deliver the righteous and to punish the wicked. The Greek words for "godly" and "unjust" are both without the article. The word rendered "to be punished"... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Peter 2:10

But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness; literally, in the lust of pollution. The word occurs nowhere else in the New Testament, but the corresponding verb is found in several places ( Titus 1:15 ; Hebrews 12:15 ; Jud 8). We observe that in this verse St. Peter passes from the future tense to the present. And despise government; rather, lordship ( κυριότητος ) . St. Jude has the same word in Jude 1:8 . In Ephesians 1:21 and Colossians 1:16 it... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Peter 2:6

And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes - Genesis 19:24-25. This is a third example to demonstrate that God will punish the wicked. Compare the notes at Jude 1:7. The word here rendered “turning into ashes” τεφρωσας tephrōsas, occurs nowhere else in the New Testament. It is from τέφρα tefra, ashes, and means to reduce to ashes, and then to consume or destroy.Condemned them with an overthrow - By the fact of their being overthrown, he showed that they were to be condemned, or... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Peter 2:7

And delivered just Lot - Genesis 19:16. This case is incidentally referred to, to show that God makes a distinction between the righteous and the wicked; and that while the latter will be destroyed, the former will be saved. See 2 Peter 2:9. Lot is called “just,” because he preserved himself uncontaminated amidst the surrounding wickedness. As long as he lived in Sodom he maintained the character of an upright and holy man.Vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked - By the corrupt and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Peter 2:8

For that righteous man dwelling among them - The Latin Vulgate renders this, “For in seeing and hearing he was just;” meaning that he maintained his uprightness, or that he did not become contaminated by the vices of Sodom. Many expositors have supposed that this is the correct rendering; but the most natural and the most common explanation is that which is found in our version. According to that, the meaning is, that compelled as he was, while living among them, to see and to hear what was... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Peter 2:9

The Lord knoweth ... - That is, the cases referred to show that God is able to deliver his people when tempted, and understands the best way in which it should be done. He sees a way to do it when we cannot, though it is often a way which we should not have thought of. He can send an angel to take his tempted people by the hand; he can interpose and destroy the power of the tempter; he can raise up earthly friends; he can deliver his people completely and forever from temptation, by their... read more

But chiefly - That is, it may be presumed that the principles just laid down would be applicable in an eminent degree to such persons as he proceeds to designate.That walk after the flesh - That live for the indulgence of their carnal appetites. Notes, Romans 8:1.In the lust of uncleanness - In polluted pleasures. Compare the notes at 2 Peter 2:2.And despise government - Margin: “dominion.” That is, they regard all government in the state, the church, and the family, as an evil. Advocates for... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Peter 2:6-8

2 Peter 2:6-8. And turning the cities of Sodom, &c., into ashes When the inhabitants of those places were sunk into the lowest degeneracy; and condemned them with an overthrow Punished them with utter destruction, both of their persons and habitations; making them an ensample Not an example to be imitated, but an example to be avoided, as the word υποδειγμα , here used, signifies. Hence Jude, to express the same idea, uses the word δειγμα . And delivered just Lot By the miraculous... read more
