1 Peter 2:24

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Peter 2:21-25

For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: (22) Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: (23) Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: (24) Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. (25) For ye... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 2:18-25

18-25 Servants in those days generally were slaves, and had heathen masters, who often used them cruelly; yet the apostle directs them to be subject to the masters placed over them by Providence, with a fear to dishonour or offend God. And not only to those pleased with reasonable service, but to the severe, and those angry without cause. The sinful misconduct of one relation, does not justify sinful behaviour in the other; the servant is bound to do his duty, though the master may be sinfully... read more

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

1Pet 2 THE LATTER VERSES of chapter 1 have shown us that the new birth which has taken place with each believer has a purifying effect, therefore the first verse of chapter 2 takes it for granted that we lay aside those ugly features which are the nature of the flesh in us. Of the things specified, malice, envy and evil speakings specially concern our relations with our fellows, and they are particularly mentioned because Peter is now going to bring before us truth which shows us the believer... read more

The inspiring example of Christ: v. 21. For even hereunto were ye called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps; v. 22. who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth; v. 23. who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, he threatened not, but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously; v. 24. who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - 1 Peter 2:18-25

1 Peter 2:18-25Analysis:—Exhortation of believing servants to self-denying obedience in doing and suffering after the example of Christ.18 Servants,41 be subject to your masters with42 all fear; not only to the good and gentle,19 but also to the froward.43 For this is thankworthy,44 if a man for conscience45 toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. 20For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it,46 ye... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Peter 2:18-25

Following the Shepherd of Souls 1 Peter 2:18-25 The argument from this point seems to be: Since you have been redeemed, live worthily of your heavenly calling in relation to your fellow-believers, to God, and to the state, 1 Peter 2:17 ; to your employers, 1 Peter 2:18 ; to husbands, 1 Peter 2:1 ; to wives, 1 Peter 2:7 ; to everyone, 1 Peter 2:8 . Some of the tenderest words in the Epistles are addressed to the household slaves, who constituted a very important part of the primitive Church.... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 2:1-25

In order to obey the injunctions, those to whom Peter writes are urged to put away all such things as are contrary to the spirit of love. In order to do this they will long for the sustenance of the Word. All this leads to the subject of the testing of their confidence. Describing the Church as a building, Peter declared the cornerstone is the living Christ, from whom the preciousness is derived, which is to manifest the excellencies of God to the world. The description of the Church is... read more

THE EXALTED CHRIST‘Christ also suffered for us … the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.’ 1 Peter 2:21-Lamentations : The Head of the Church is exalted to heaven, and we His members are called upon to look up to our glorious Head. I. The Exalted Christ is the perfect pattern to His Church.—( a) He suffered for us—should we not, therefore, willingly follow in His footsteps, and, as His disciples, bear the cross? But to be fashioned like Him we must look well into the holy passion of our... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 2:11-25

Their Obedience And Heavenly Connection Is To Be Revealed By Their Lives And By Their Due Submission To Lawful Authority In The Same Way As Christ Submitted Himself Through Suffering And Thereby Wrought Salvation For His People (1 Peter 2:11 to 1 Peter 3:12 ). Peter now tells them how, as sojourners and pilgrims in the world, they are to behave in order to fulfil the role given to them by God in 1 Peter 2:1-10. They are first of all to live in obedience and in accord with their environment... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 2:24

‘Who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness, by whose stripes you were healed.’ And here we learn why Jesus made no claims of innocence. It was because He was there as the bearer of sin. He knew that what He was receiving was the just punishment, not for His own sin, but for the sins of others (compare 1 Peter 3:18). And He was willing to suffer for their sake. So Peter fully knew that he could not stop at the fact that... read more
