Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Peter 5:9

1 Peter 5:9. Whom resist, stedfast in the faith,— See Ephesians 4:27; Ephesians 6:10; Eph 6:24 and James 4:7. The word επιτελεισθαι, rendered accomplished, signifies perfected, or brought to an end. It seems here to mean particularly, that the persecutions of the unbelieving Jews, stirred up by the devil, were every where carried to as great a length upon the Christians, as our Lord foretold they would be, before the destruction of Jerusalem. The argument contained in these words lies thus:... read more

7. Casting—once for all: so the Greek aorist. care—"anxiety? The advantage flowing from humbling ourselves under God's hand (1 Peter 5:6) is confident reliance on His goodness. Exemption from care goes along with humble submission to God. careth for you—literally "respecting you." Care is a burden which faith casts off the man on his God. Compare Psalms 22:10; Psalms 37:5; Psalms 55:22, to which Peter alludes; Luke 12:22; Luke 12:37; Philippians 4:6. careth—not so strong a Greek word as the... read more

8. Peter has in mind Christ's warning to himself to watch against Satan, from forgetting which he fell. Be sober . . . vigilant—"Care," that is, anxiety, will intoxicate the soul; therefore be sober, that is, self-restrained. Yet, lest this freedom from care should lead any to false security, he adds, "Be vigilant" against "your adversary." Let this be your "care." God provides, therefore do not be anxious. The devil seeks, therefore watch [BENGEL]. because—omitted in the oldest manuscripts The... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Peter 5:7

This verse does not introduce a new command but explains how to humble oneself: by entrusting oneself and one’s troubles to God (Psalms 55:22; cf. Matthew 6:25-34; Philippians 4:6). We can do this because we have confidence that God cares for our welfare."Mermina [sic, merimna] = worry or anxiety as when one does not know whether to do this or to do that, ’distraction.’" [Note: Lenski, p. 224. Cf. Psalms 55:22; 37:5; Luke 10:41; 12:11-12.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Peter 5:8

Trust in God is not all that we need, however. We also need to practice self-control and to keep alert (cf. 1 Peter 1:13; 1 Peter 4:7) because Satan is on the prowl (cf. Job 1:7; Matthew 26:41; 1 Corinthians 16:13). Peter’s readers were in danger from him if they gave in to his temptation to regard their sufferings as an indication of God’s disinterest or ill will (cf. James 1:13). Satan not only seeks to deceive us as a serpent (2 Corinthians 11:3), but he also seeks to devour us as a... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Peter 5:9

Whereas God commands us to forsake the world and deny the lusts of the flesh, we should resist the devil (cf. Ephesians 6:11-13; James 4:7). Satan’s desire is to get the Christian to doubt, to deny, to disregard, and to disobey what God has said. The Greek word translated "resist" means to defend oneself against as opposed to attacking. It is easier to resist when we remember that this duty is common to all Christians; it is not unique to us alone. A better translation of "accomplished by"... read more
