베드로전서 1:2-5 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Peter 1:1-2

I. ADDRESS . 1. Writer . "Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ." The name is chosen which was most familiar to the readers. It is also the name which belonged to him as an apostle. He was commissioned by Jesus Christ to do important work for the Church, including the composition of this letter. 2. Readers . II. SALUTATION . "Grace to you and peace be multiplied." The introduction is constructed so as to throw the description of the readers into prominence as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Peter 1:1-3

Here is for our consideration, as introductory and preparatory to an intelligent study of this letter, some suggestions about— I. THE GREETER . "Peter." The allusions to incidents in his life, and the checkered light thrown upon his character, which are found in this Epistle, are in harmony with what we gather from the Gospels and the Acts concerning him. For instance: 1. Jigs name . The Rock-man. What a reminiscence of the giving of that name! What it tells 2. His... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Peter 1:2

Elect . This word, in the Greek, is in the first verse; the Greek order is "to the elect sojourners of the dispersion." We begin already to notice coincidences with the teaching of St. Paul. St. Paul insists strongly on the doctrine of election; St. Peter holds it no less clearly. Holy Scripture constantly ascribes all that is good in us to the choice or election of God. The sacred writers do not enter into the many difficulties which lie around this central doctrine: they do not attempt to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Peter 1:2

This is no mere Jewish title, for there are passages in the Epistle which forbid the idea that it was addressed exclusively to Jews ( 1 Peter 1:18 ; 1 Peter 2:10 ; 1 Peter 4:3 , 1 Peter 4:4 ). It is the title of the universal Church and the individual believer. The verse is a summary of the most important and difficult points of Christian doctrine; hardly a word in it but is inexhaustible. I. THE FACT OF DIVINE ELECTION STATED . Perhaps no greater mystery in Scripture,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Peter 1:3

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Greek word rendered "blessed" ( εὐλογητός ) is used by the New Testament writers only of God; the participle εὐλογημένος is said of men. St. Peter adopts the doxology used by St. Paul in writing to the Churches at Corinth and Ephesus ( 2 Corinthians 1:3 ; Ephesians 1:3 ), the last being one of those to which this Epistle is addressed. It is a question whether the genitive, "of our Lord Jesus Christ," depends on both... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Peter 1:4

To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away. The Christian's hope maketh not ashamed. The inheritance is sure; it is better than the inheritance promised to Abraham; for it is read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Peter 1:5

Who are kept by the power of God. "Hereditas servata est," says Bengel, "heredes custodiuntur?" The verb φρουρεῖν , is a military word. "The governor under Areas the king kept [guarded] the city of the Damascenes" ( 2 Corinthians 11:32 ); the peace of God shall keep ("guard." Philippians 4:7 ) the hearts of those who trust in him,—they are guarded by a heavenly host; "The angel of the Lord encampeth around them that fear him;" they are guarded by, or rather, according to the exact... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 1:2

Elect - That is, “chosen.” The meaning here is, that they were in fact chosen. The word does not refer to the purpose to choose, but to the fact that they were chosen or selected by God as His people. It is a word commonly applied to the people of God as being chosen out of the world, and called to be His. The use of the word does not determine whether God had a previous eternal purpose to choose them or not. That must be determined by something else than the mere use of the term. This word has... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 1:3

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ - See the notes at 2 Corinthians 1:3.Which according to His abundant mercy - Margin, as in the Greek, “much.” The idea is, that there was great mercy shown them in the fact that they were renewed. They had no claim to the favor, and the favor was great. People are not begotten to the hope of heaven because they have any claim on God, or because it would not be right for him to withhold the favor. See the notes at Ephesians 2:4.Hath begotten... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 1:4

To an inheritance - Through the resurrection of the Lord Jesus we now cherish the hope of that future inheritance in heaven. On the word inheritance, see the Acts 20:32 note; Ephesians 1:11, Ephesians 1:14, Ephesians 1:18 notes; Colossians 1:12 note. Christians are regarded as the adopted children of God, and heaven is spoken of as their inheritance - as what their Father will bestow on them as the proof of his love.Incorruptible - It will not fade away and vanish, as that which we inherit in... read more
