1 Peter 2:19

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Peter 2:19

For this is thank-worthy; in the Greek the substantive is put for the adjective: the sense is either, this is acceptable to God, and will be graciously rewarded by him; or, this is praise-worthy, and will be your glory, as 1 Peter 2:20.

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Peter 2:18-25
