George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 2 Peter 1:10

By good works you may make sure, &c. without diving into the hidden mysteries of predestination, &c. --- You shall not sin at any time. These words evidently suppose, that the graces and assistances of God will not be wanting; for it would be in vain to command, unless a man had both free will and capacity to perform. But, as it follows, these helps shall be abundantly ministered to you. (Witham) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 1:1-11

1-11 Faith unites the weak believer to Christ, as really as it does the strong one, and purifies the heart of one as truly as of another; and every sincere believer is by his faith justified in the sight of God. Faith worketh godliness, and produces effects which no other grace in the soul can do. In Christ all fulness dwells, and pardon, peace, grace, and knowledge, and new principles, are thus given through the Holy Spirit. The promises to those who are partakers of a Divine nature, will... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 2 Peter 1:1-99

2Pet 1 IN HIS SECOND EPISTLE the apostle Peter addressed himself to the same believers Christian Jews scattered throughout Asia Minor as in his first. This fact is not directly stated in the opening verses, but 2Pet 3.0 : 1 makes it quite apparent. In the salutation with which the Epistle opens he simply describes them as those who had received a like precious faith to himself “through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” They had believed the gospel just as he had believed... read more

The fruitful diligence of the Christians: v. 8. For if these things be in you and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. v. 9. But he that lacketh these things is blind and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. v. 10. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall; v. 11. for so an... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Peter 1:1-11

the Rule of Christian Growth 2 Peter 1:1-11 The keynote of this paragraph is these things , 2 Peter 1:8-10 . Precious faith , 2 Peter 1:1 , answers to precious promises , 2 Peter 1:4 . Notice that God has given us every provision for a godly life, through the knowledge of Jesus, but that we must avail ourselves of it. The promises are great and precious, but we must appropriate and absorb them, if we are through them to partake of the divine nature. Our redemption has been secured by our... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Peter 1:1-21

This Epistle was addressed to the same persons as was the first. Its purpose was to strengthen them in view of dangers threatening them within the Church. The apostle addressed them as having 'like precious faith" with himself. He first reminded them of great principles of preservation. All things pertaining to life and godliness are granted through the knowledge of Him who called them by His glory and virtue. Because of this perfect provision the saints are called to diligence in the... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 2 Peter 1:1-21

A Call to Greater Things 2 Peter 1:1-21 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. The author of the Epistle. It is most refreshing and certainly inspiring to open the Bible and find an Epistle which is indited by the Holy Ghost, and which begins with the two words, "Simon Peter." The opening verse says, "Simon Peter, a servant and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith." How blessed that the fisher of men, the rough, rugged, headstrong, backsliding, cursing Peter, who said, "I... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 1:9-11

A Plea That They Make Their Calling And Election Sure (2 Peter 1:9-11 ). Peter now points out that those whose lives fail to be continually fruitbearing in the way that he has described reveal that they are blind to Christian truth. Thus he calls on his readers in contrast to make their calling and election sure by following out his words. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 1:10-11

‘For which reason, brothers and sisters, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure, for if you do these things, you will never stumble, for thus will be richly supplied to you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.’ Rather, therefore, than blinking because their sight is dimmed, they are to have their eyes open to eternal realities and are to put their utmost effort into doing what he has described, for as a result they will never... read more
