1 Peter 1

1:1 sojourners (e-8) As ch. 2.11; Heb. 11.13.1:1 sojourners (e-8) As ch. 2.11; Heb. 11.13. 1:2 sanctification (f-11) Hagiasmos, see Note i, Rom. 1.4. blood (g-22) 'Jesus Christ' is connected with 'obedience,' as well as with 'sprinkling of the blood.' 1:5 time. (a-21) The article is everywhere left out in the Greek here, making it all characteristic and descriptive. 1:6 Wherein (b-1) Or 'in which [time].' trials, (c-17) Or temptations. 1:8 on (d-7) 'On whom' does not, I think, refer to 'ye exult.' It may refer to both 'looking' and 'believing,' which is, I think, the natural construction. If not, it is connected simply with 'looking.' glory, (e-24) Lit. 'and glorified.' The expression relates to 'joy.' 1:9 souls. (f-11) Lit. 'salvation of souls,' in contrast with temporal deliverances, to which, as Jews, they were accustomed to look. 1:12 by (g-34) En, 'in the power of.' 1:14 conformed (h-6) 'Conformed' here expresses a state. The path in which they walk is the sense here. 'Conforming yourselves' is too active and intentional. As Rom. 12.2. 1:15 conversation; (i-17) i.e. 'manner of life,' and so ver. 18. 1:16 written, (k-4) See Lev. 19.2. 'Holy' here is hagios. see Note i, Heb. 7.26. 1:19 spot, (l-13) Or 'by precious blood, as of Christ, a lamb, &c.;' or 'by [the] precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb, &c.' 1:21 God. (m-28) Or 'so that your faith and hope are in God.' 1:25 eternity. (n-9) See Isa. 40.6-8.
