Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Peter 2:7

1 Peter 2:7. He is precious— Is this honour,— η Τιμη, That is, "of being built upon that sure foundation, for which you willhave no reason to be ashamed." In using the word τιμη, St. Peter seems to have alluded to the word εντιμος, precious or honourable, Which he had made use of, 1 Peter 2:4; 1 Peter 2:6. But to those who reject it, belongs the reproach of the Psalmist, The stone, &c. This passage is also quoted Mat 21:42 and Acts 4:11. The plain meaning of it, as applied to Christ, must... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Peter 2:8

1 Peter 2:8. And a stone of stumbling, &c.— We render this verse as if it were one continued sentence; but thus violence is done to the text, and the apostle's sense is thrown into obscurity and disorder; which is restored by putting a full stop after offence, and beginning a new sentence thus: They stumble at the word. For, observe, the apostle runs a double antithesis between believers and unbelievers: To you who believe, says he, it is precious; to them who believe not, and are... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Peter 2:9

1 Peter 2:9. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood,— This imports them to be of one stock through their new birth; as the Israelites, who were by outward calling the chosen of God, were all the seed of Abraham according to the flesh: so theythat truly believe in the Lord Jesus, are all of them, by regeneration, one people. They are of one nation, belonging to the same blessed land of promise, all citizens of the new Jerusalem, yea, all children of the same family, whereof Jesus... read more

1 Peter 2:10. Which in time past, &c.— "Who, for ages past, were divorced from the visible church; (Jer 3:8 and Hosea 1:6; Hosea 1:9.) but now, by the grace of the gospel, through Jesus Christ, are brought into the sweet and precious relation of a covenant people to him; and have foundmercy with him, unto the forgiveness of your sins, and the renovation of your natures, according to Hosea's prophecy, ch. 1 Peter 2:23. And this, in a higher sense, may be said of those Gentiles among you, who... read more

1 Peter 2:11. I beseech you, as strangers, &c.— "In consideration therefore of these distinguished favours which God has bestowed upon you, I earnestly entreat and exhort you, my dear brethren, to look upon yourselves as strangers and pilgrims upon earth, who are travelling onward to a better country: and I beseech you, as such, to renounce and keep clear of all those inward workings of sensual inclinations, inordinate affections, and desires after earthly things, which arise from the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Peter 2:12

1 Peter 2:12. Having your conversation honest,— The word Καλην does not signify barely being honest, or doing justice between man and man; but good, virtuous, or amiable; and refers to men's whole behaviour. These Christians lived among the Gentiles, or in heathen countries, and were more narrowly watched and observed, because of their differencein matters of religion. Many were the calumnies which the Heathens raised against the Christians. St. Peter, therefore, for this reason among many... read more

8. stone of stumbling, c.—quoted from Isaiah 8:14. Not merely they stumbled, in that their prejudices were offended but their stumbling implies the judicial punishment of their reception of Messiah; they hurt themselves in stumbling over the corner-stone, as "stumble" means in Jeremiah 13:16; Daniel 11:19. at the word—rather, join "being disobedient to the word"; so 1 Peter 3:1; 1 Peter 4:17. whereunto—to penal stumbling; to the judicial punishment of their unbelief.
