Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - 2 Peter 1:1

2 Peter LIKE PRECIOUS FAITH 2Pe_1:1 . Peter seems to have had a liking for that word ‘precious.’ It is not a very descriptive one; it does not give much light as to the quality of the things to which it is applied; but it is a suggestion of one-idea value. It is interesting to notice the objects to which, in his two letters--for I take this to be his letter--he applies it. He speaks of the trial of faith as being ‘precious.’ He speaks with a slight modification of the word employed of... 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 1:1-8

Exceeding Great and Precious Promises 2 Peter 1:1-8 INTRODUCTORY WORDS It is not the fact of exceeding great and precious promises which primarily concerns me; it is my entering into a personal realization of those promises, and making them mine, God is willing to bestow His best things upon us, but we are unwilling to receive, or, at least we are unwilling to pay the price of blessing. 1. Many of God's best things are conditional. Grace operates apart from human worth; many promises operate... read more

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 1:1

‘Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ.’ ‘Simeon Peter.’ Early manuscripts divide as to whether it should be Simeon (aleph, A) or Simon (B). But in view of the propensity that there would be to change Simeon Peter into the more popular and well known Simon Peter, and no obvious grounds for a movement to take place the other way, Simeon should probably be seen as the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 1:1-4

The Initial Theme of 2 Peter. The initial theme of 2 Peter is found in 2 Peter 1:1-4. It is that our God and Saviour Jesus Christ has come into the world, and that thereby: · He has called us by His own glory and virtue (2 Peter 1:3) · So that we may enjoy life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). · And thus escape the corruption of the world brought about by lust (2 Peter 1:4). · As a result of becoming partakers of the divine nature, that is, by becoming a new creation (2 Peter 1:4; compare 2... read more

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

‘Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,’ The combined greetings of ‘grace’ (a Greek greeting) and ‘peace’ (a Jewish greeting) again reflect the unity of God’s people. But to the Christian ‘grace’ reflects more than just ‘well-being’, it reflects the unmerited, active love and compassion of God at work on his behalf. Peace also reflects their wellbeing in Him, and also has in mind the peace and contentment of a settled heart, the ‘peace which passes... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 1:1-11

2 Peter 1:1-1 Kings : . The author writes to those who possess a faith not less honourable (“ precious” ) than that of the apostles themselves, since they, too, possess all things pertaining to life and godliness. But effort on their part is necessary if they would make their calling sure. The lack of such effort involves stumbling and implies forgetfulness of their baptismal cleansing— possibly, forgetfulness that the special cleansing of baptism cannot be repeated (Bigg). The Gospel is not... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Peter 1:1

A servant and an apostle; i.e. such a servant as is likewise an apostle. The former agrees to all gospel ministers generally, the latter is a title of a greater eminency; and so he intimates, that he wrote to them not merely as an ordinary minister, but in the authority of an apostle, an officer of the highest degree in the church. Like precious faith; not in respect of the degree or strength of it, but in respect of the object, Christ, and the benefits that come by it, justification,... read more
