Expositor's Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 1:22-25

Chapter 5 CHRISTIAN BROTHERHOOD: ITS CHARACTER AND DUTIES1 Peter 1:22-25; 1 Peter 2:1-3THAT holy lives have been lived in solitude none would venture to dispute, and that devout Christians have found strength for themselves and given examples to the world by withdrawal from the society of their fellows is attested more than once in the history of Christendom. But with lives of such isolation and seclusion the New Testament exhibits little sympathy. To whatever preparation the Christian is... read more

II. THE BLESSINGS AND PRIVILEGES OF ALL BELIEVERS CHAPTER 1:22-2:10 1. The new birth (1 Peter 1:22-25 ) 2. Spiritual growth (1 Peter 2:1-3 ) 3. The privileges of believers as the holy and royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:4-10 ) 1 Peter 1:22-25 The relationship of those who are thus redeemed, whose faith and hope is in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, whose souls are purified by obedience to the truth, unto unfeigned love of the brethren, is stated first: “Love one another... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:1-25

Peter writes with apostolic authority and though it is directly to the dispersed Jewish Christians (strangers both because Jews among Gentiles, and because Christians separated from Jewish relatives), yet we who are Gentile believers may well recognize, that much of this is just as applicable to ourselves. We too are pilgrims and strangers, not at home on earth. The areas spoken of in v.1 are all in present-day Turkey, for Asia at that time was Asia minor, on the western end of Turkey. ... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 1:12-25

OBLIGATIONS OF HOPE UPWARD “Wherefore” at the beginning of this lesson shows that as the result of what has gone before something is expected. They who have been begotten again to this living hope have obligations arising from it. The first is Hope (1 Peter 1:13-16 ). The difference between “hope” in 1 Peter 1:13 and that in 1 Peter 1:3 is, that there it represented the believer’s standing or position before God in Christ, and here his experience and exhibition of it. Having been begotten... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Peter 1:1-25

The Precious Blood of Christ 1Pe 1:19 My heart's desire has ever been to make known to men that there is no salvation but by blood, and not by blood only, but by the particular blood named in the text even the precious blood of Christ. I am afraid that in these latter days some of us have tried to find out some other word to use instead of this word blood. We shrink from it. A dainty piety has forced upon us a dainty vocabulary. As the intensity of our love has gone down, the intensity of our... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Peter 1:17-25

And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: (18) Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; (19) But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: (20) Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these... read more

Thus this new birth, common to you all, should form between you an union much more stable and solid than that formed in you by the ties of blood. (Bible de Vence) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:17-25

17-25 Holy confidence in God as a Father, and awful fear of him as a Judge, agree together; and to regard God always as a Judge, makes him dear to us as a Father. If believers do evil, God will visit them with corrections. Then, let Christians not doubt God's faithfulness to his promises, nor give way to enslaving dread of his wrath, but let them reverence his holiness. The fearless professor is defenceless, and Satan takes him captive at his will; the desponding professor has no heart to avail... read more

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

1Pet 1 COMMENCING THEN OUR reading of the Epistle, we find the opening address in verses 1Pe_1:1 and 2. To whom does he write? To “strangers scattered” or “sojourners of the dispersion,” to people who were a standing witness to the fact that the Jew had forfeited his ancient privileges, to folk who had lost all the earthly foothold they ever had, though it was a big foothold as originally granted. Yet the sojourners he addressed were not by any means all the scattered Jews of those provinces,... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Peter 1:22-25

The quality of Christian love: v. 22. Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently v. 23. being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever. v. 24. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away; v. 25. but the... read more
