Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Peter 5:7

casting all your anxiety upon him, because he careth for you.The thought here contrasts the living and true God with the dumb idol gods of paganism who had no feeling, concern, or interest of any kind whatever in their worshipers. Even those pagan gods and goddesses which were supposed to be more glorious were always represented as being far off from their devotees, and as having no care whatever for them. It is one of the most glorious teachings of the Bible that God, yes, even the Almighty... read more

7. Casting—once for all: so the Greek aorist. care—"anxiety? The advantage flowing from humbling ourselves under God's hand (1 Peter 5:6) is confident reliance on His goodness. Exemption from care goes along with humble submission to God. careth for you—literally "respecting you." Care is a burden which faith casts off the man on his God. Compare Psalms 22:10; Psalms 37:5; Psalms 55:22, to which Peter alludes; Luke 12:22; Luke 12:37; Philippians 4:6. careth—not so strong a Greek word as the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Peter 5:7

This verse does not introduce a new command but explains how to humble oneself: by entrusting oneself and one’s troubles to God (Psalms 55:22; cf. Matthew 6:25-34; Philippians 4:6). We can do this because we have confidence that God cares for our welfare."Mermina [sic, merimna] = worry or anxiety as when one does not know whether to do this or to do that, ’distraction.’" [Note: Lenski, p. 224. Cf. Psalms 55:22; 37:5; Luke 10:41; 12:11-12.] read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Peter 5:1-11

V.(1-11) FURTHER EXHORTATIONS SUGGESTED BY THE CRISIS.—The officers of the community are not to flinch from the duties imposed upon them, nor yet to perform them in any spirit of self-assertion. The laity, on the other hand, are to observe discipline. Indeed, mutual submission is the only safe-guard in the face of a common danger. An unbroken front must be presented, and the sense of brotherhood fostered. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Peter 5:7

(7) Casting all your care upon him.—An adaptation of Psalms 55:22, according to the LXX. Anxiety implies not only some distrust of God’s providence, but also some kind of belief that we may be able to manage better for ourselves; therefore here, as in the Sermon on the Mount, we are exhorted, especially in time of danger, simply to do what we know we ought to do, and to be unheeding about the rest.“Lord, it belongs not to my careWhether I die or live.”The confidence cannot be misplaced, for God... read more
