Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 2 Peter 1:12

12. Wherefore—as these graces are so necessary to your abundant entrance into Christ's kingdom (2 Peter 1:10; 2 Peter 1:11). I will not be negligent—The oldest manuscripts read, "I will be about always to put you in remembrance" (an accumulated future: I will regard you as always needing to be reminded): compare "I will endeavor," 2 Peter 1:15. "I will be sure always to remind you" [ALFORD]. "Always"; implying the reason why he writes the second Epistle so soon after the first. He feels there... read more

II. THE CONDITION OF THE CHRISTIAN 1:3-11"The first chapter vividly portrays the nature of the Christian life with its challenge to spiritual growth and maturity, built on a sure foundation. The second part of the epistle is a ringing polemic against the false teachers who would allure and seek to mislead God’s people, while the third chapter deals with the heretical denial of the return of Christ and concludes with some fitting exhortation to the readers." [Note: D. Edmond Hiebert, "The... read more

C. The Believer’s Adequacy 1:10-11Peter concluded this section on the nature of the Christian by assuring his readers that simply practicing what he had just advocated would prepare them adequately for the future. He did this to help them realize that they had no need for the added burdens false teachers sought to impose on them. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Peter 1:11

One of the greatest motivations for pursuing growth in grace is that when we go to be with the Lord forever He will welcome us warmly. The alternative is to get in by the skin of our teeth, saved so as by fire (1 Corinthians 3:15). Every Christian will go to heaven and receive much eternal inheritance (1 Peter 1:3-5). However, our Lord’s welcome of those who have sought to express their gratitude for His grace through a life dedicated to cultivating godliness will be especially warm. It will be... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Peter 1:12

In view of what he had written to this point, Peter explained that he realized his previous words were a reminder to his readers, not new instruction. 2 Peter 1:3-11 contain basic Christian life truth. His readers had heard this previously, but they, as all believers, needed a reminder of it periodically so they would not forget (2 Peter 1:9)."We must not glide lightly over Peter’s concern about reminding the readers of already known and familiar truth. The history of the Church as a whole... read more

A. The Need for a Reminder 1:12-15Peter returned to the subject of God’s promises (2 Peter 1:4). He developed the importance of the Scriptures as the resource of the believer. He did so to enable his readers to appreciate their value and to motivate them to draw upon them so they would grow in grace."These verses make it obvious that Peter’s primary concern in this epistle is not to refute the false teachers but to ground his readers in personal holiness." [Note: Hiebert, Second Peter . . .,... read more

III. THE AUTHORITY FOR THE CHRISTIAN 1:12-21Perhaps Peter sensed that his readers might resist his teaching that believers must diligently pursue godliness since he proceeded to remind them that his apostolic witness was in line with divine inspiration. read more

Greeeting. Thanksgiving. Exhortation to Progeess in Righteousness from One Who Remembers Jesus Christ2 Peter 1 may be subdivided into two parts: (a) 2 Peter 1:1-11, greeting followed by a declaration of the glory and virtue of the Christian life, which is a life of continual growth and progress, and requires diligent effort in those who would lead it; (b) 2 Peter 1:12-21, declaration of the Apostle’s care and authority to provide for his readers’ remembrance of these truths—he, who saw the... read more
