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 5:8-14

Chapter 18 THROUGH PERILS TO VICTORY1 Peter 5:8-14NOT only had these Asian Christians to suffer from the opposition and calumnies of the heathen and from the estrangement of former friends: there were perils within the Churches themselves. There were weak brethren, who fell away when trials came, and infected others with their despondency; there were false brethren, with whom faith was a mere consent of the understanding, and not the spring of a holy, spiritual life. These spake of the liberty... 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

Geneva Study Bible - 1 Peter 5:10

5:10 {13} But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you].(13) He seals up as with a seal the former exhortation with a solemn prayer, again willing them to ask increase of strength at his hands, of whom they had the beginning, and hope to have the accomplishment: that is, of God the Father in Christ Jesus, in whom we are sure of the glory of eternal life. 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's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 5:10-14

10-14 In conclusion, the apostle prays to God for them, as the God of all grace. Perfect implies their progress towards perfection. Stablish imports the curing of our natural lightness and inconstancy. Strengthen has respect to the growth of graces, especially where weakest and lowest. Settle signifies to fix upon a sure foundation, and may refer to Him who is the Foundation and Strength of believers. These expressions show that perseverance and progress in grace are first to be sought after by... 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
