10. Adapted from Hosea 1:9; Hosea 1:10; Hosea 2:23. Peter plainly confirms Paul, who quotes the passage as implying the call of the Gentiles to become spiritually that which Israel had been literally, "the people of God." Primarily, the prophecy refers to literal Israel, hereafter to be fully that which in their best days they were only partially, God's people. not obtained mercy—literally, "who were men not compassionated." Implying that it was God's pure mercy, not their merits, which made... read more

Dearly beloved—He gains their attention to his exhortation by assuring them of his love. strangers and pilgrims— (1 Peter 1:17).

12. conversation—"behavior"; "conduct." There are two things in which "strangers and pilgrims" ought to bear themselves well: (1) the conversation or conduct, as subjects ( :-), servants (1 Peter 2:18), wives (1 Peter 3:1), husbands (1 Peter 3:1- :), all persons under all circumstances (1 Peter 3:1- :); (2) confession of the faith (1 Peter 3:15; 1 Peter 3:16). Each of the two is derived from the will of God. Our conversation should correspond to our Saviour's condition; this is in heaven, so... read more

C. Our Priestly Calling 2:1-10Peter continued his explanation of Christians’ duties as we endure trials and suffering joyfully. He called his readers to do certain things in the world of unbelievers, and he reminded them of certain realities in this pericope. He did so to motivate them to press on to finish God’s plan and purpose for them in the world now."The great doxology (1 Peter 1:3-12) begins with praise to God, who is the One who begot us again. All hortations that follow grow out of... read more

II. THE IDENTITY OF CHRISTIANS 1:3-2:10The essentially chiastic structure of thought in the letter, excluding the introduction and conclusion, can be visualized in the outline (above). The recurrence of the direct address "Beloved" in 1 Peter 2:11 and 1 Peter 4:12 divides this letter into three main parts."The theme of the first part is the identity of the people of God established on the basis of the great salvation Christ has accomplished (and is accomplishing) on their behalf. Their identity... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Peter 2:7-8

In contrast to believers, those who reject Jesus Christ as the foundation find Him to be a stone over which they trip and fall. He becomes the instrument of their destruction. The "builders" were Israel’s religious leaders (cf. Psalms 118:22). When they disobeyed Old Testament commands to accept their Messiah, they stumbled spiritually and would suffer destruction (Isaiah 8:14). This was true of Israel corporately, and it is true of every unbeliever individually.Jesus Christ was the stone that... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Peter 2:9

All the figures of the church that Peter chose here originally referred to Israel. However with Israel’s rejection of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 2:7) God created a new body of people through whom He now seeks to accomplish the same purposes He sought to achieve through Israel but by different means. This verse, which at first might seem to equate the church and Israel, on careful examination shows as many differences between these groups as similarities. [Note: See John W. Pryor, "First Peter and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Peter 2:10

Peter highlighted the differences involved in our high calling by contrasting what his readers were and had before conversion with what they were and had after conversion. The church is not the only people of God in history. Nevertheless it is the people of God in the present age because of Israel’s rejection of the Corner Stone (cf. Romans 9-11)."The evidence from the use of the Old Testament in 1 Peter 2:6-10 suggests that the Old Testament imagery used to describe the church in 1 Peter... read more
