Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - 1 Peter 5:12

1 Peter AN APOSTOLIC TESTIMONY AND EXHORTATION 1Pe_5:12 . ‘I have written briefly,’ says Peter. But his letter, in comparison with the other epistles of the New Testament, is not remarkably short; in fact, is longer than many of them. He regards it as short when measured by the greatness of its theme. For all words which are devoted to witnessing to the glory of God revealed in Jesus Christ, must be narrow and insufficient as compared with that, and after every utterance the speaker must... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Peter 5:8-14

Resisting the Devil 1 Peter 5:8-14 We hear of the adversary in Zechariah 3:1 . The enemy of Christ desires to hurt the Shepherd by injuring His flock. The hunger of a lion for his prey is an emblem of the insatiable desire of our spiritual foes for our undoing. Walketh about -temptation never assails us long from the same quarter. Perhaps the figure of a roaring lion suggests an outburst of persecution, which made timid people tremble. See 2 Timothy 4:17 . All grace is in God for every hour... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 5:1-14

Finally, the apostle proceeded to strengthen his brethren for conflict. The first matter dealt with was the general orderliness of the Church. He enjoined the elders that they care for the flock. Their office is twofold, to attend or feed, and to keep watchful oversight. They are not to lord it over the flock, but are to serve the flock, not, indeed, as under the authority of the flock, but under that of the Lord and Master, the Chief Shepherd. The younger are to be in subjection, and that is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 5:1-13

The Grand Finale (1 Peter 5:1-13 ). As Peter comes to the close of his letter the thought of suffering followed by glory continues: · In 1 Peter 3:18-22 He had spoken of the sufferings of Christ which had led on to His exaltation at the right hand of God, and the submission of all things to Him. · In 1 Peter 4:1-6 those sufferings were to be reflected in His people, resulting in their walking in accordance with God in their spiritual lives (1 Peter 4:6), a walk which will result in their... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 5:12

Conclusion. ‘By Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I account him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand you fast in it.’ This probably means more than that Silas (Silvanus) simply delivered the letter. It was quite regular for someone not skilled in letter writing to use an amanuensis who would put their thoughts into good written Greek. It appears that Silas, skilled in such things, does that here. Compare how he was involved with... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 5:12-14

1 Peter 5:12-2 Chronicles : . Mention of the scribe or amanuensis and closing salutations. These words may (as sometimes with Paul) have been in the author’ s own hand. He probably calls the letter brief in view of what he had it in his heart to say. Silvanus can supplement the written message, and they may trust him as one who knows and can express all that is in the writer’ s mind. Silvanus is generally identified with the person of the same name in Paul’ s letters ( 1 and 2 Thessalonians... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Peter 5:12

By Silvanus; either Silas, Acts 15:1-41; Acts 16:1-40, whom Peter therefore here calls a faithful brother to them, that they might the more readily receive him, though a minister of the uncircumcision; or else this Silvanus was some other that had preached to them, and is therefore said to be a faithful brother to them: the former is more probable. As I suppose; this doth not signify any doubt, but rather a firm persuasion, of Silvanus’s faithfulness; q.d. I reckon him faithful, having hitherto... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Peter 5:10-14

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES1 Peter 5:12. Silvanus.—See Notes on Verses.1 Peter 5:13. Babylon.—Precisely, the sentence reads: “the co-elect one” [fem. sing.] “in Babylon.” This makes it the greeting of an individual, not of a Church. It might be the message of St. Peter’s wife. Whether the term “Babylon” is descriptive or symbolic is disputable. A new city had arisen near the old one, and a considerable population dwelt in it. There is no good reason for resisting the conclusion that the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 5:1-14

Chapter 5Now the elders [the overseers] which are among you I exhort, because I am also an elder [or an overseer, an older man], and I am a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and I'm also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed ( 1 Peter 5:1 ):Peter witnessed the death of Jesus Christ. I was a witness, he said. And also he was a partaker of the glory. On the mount of transfiguration, he saw Jesus transfigured, Moses and Elijah talking with Him of the things of the kingdom. And Peter... read more
