Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:13
Wherefore, girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;Founded upon the Old Testament requirement that the Jews should observe the Passover with their "loins girded," a few have imagined all kinds of vain things, alleging that 1Peter is a sermon delivered in connection with observing the Lord's supper;[43] but the scholars should look, not always to the Old Testament, but to the words of... read more

as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in the time of your ignorance:As children of obedience ... "Despite its emphasis on Christian freedom, obedience is one of the cardinal virtues of the New Testament."[44] Here is another metaphor. Obedience is represented as the mother of Christians.Not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts ... A noble principle is in view here. Through the practice of wickedness, people fashion themselves in the... read more

but like as he who called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living;Hunter properly discerned that the requirement here is about the same as that of Matthew 5:48, namely, perfection.[45] Isaiah referred to the Father as "the Holy One of Israel" (Isaiah 30:15); and the great premise here is that children of such a God must themselves be holy "in all manner of living." The writer of Hebrews likewise admonished to "Follow ... holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord"... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Peter 1:13
1 Peter 1:13. Gird up the loins of your mind,— The apostle seems here to allude to the precept which he had heard from our Lord, Luke 12:35; Luk 12:59 which is the more probable, from his immediately adding the words, νηφοντες τελιως,— being constantly upon the watch. The meaning is, that Christians are to endeavour to have their minds in such a frame for the coming of Christ, as servants have their bodies for their master's coming to his marriage-feast, when he is to entertain his friends in... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Peter 1:14
1 Peter 1:14. As obedient children,— As children of obedience; an usual Hebraism, by which persons are called the children of that, to which they are addicted or devoted. "Obedience (says Dr. Heylin,) is a sure ground of hope: to expect salvation without it, is not hope, but presumption." What the former lusts were, see ch. 1 Peter 4:3. Their conformity to them is here expressed by a very emphatical word; συσχηματιζομενοι ; which signifies, "Such a conformity as a medal or image has to the... read more

1 Peter 1:15. As he which hath called you, &c.— The gods which the Heathens worshipped had a very bad moral character, and the imitation of them rendered their worshippers worse than they would otherwise have been. But nothing can lead to higher degrees of holiness and virtue, than imitating the true God, who hath blessed us with the Christian revelation, and who is there displayed as a Being of the most perfect moral character. See 2 Corinthians 7:1. read more

13. Wherefore—Seeing that the prophets ministered unto you in these high Gospel privileges which they did not themselves fully share in, though "searching" into them, and seeing that even angels "desire to look into" them, how earnest you ought to be and watchful in respect to them! gird up . . . loins—referring to Christ's own words, Luke 12:35; an image taken from the way in which the Israelites ate the passover with the loose outer robe girded up about the waist with a girdle, as ready for a... read more
