Commentary

Matthew Henry on 1 Peter 2:13–end

The general rule of a Christian conversation is this, it must be honest, which it cannot be if there be not a conscientious discharge of all relative duties. The apostle here particularly treats of these distinctly. I. The case of subjects. Christians were not only reputed innovators in religion, but disturbers of the state; it was highly necessary, therefore, that the apostle should settle the rules and measures of obedience to the civil magistrate, which he does here, where, 1. The duty required is submission, which comprises loyalty and reverence to their persons, obedience to their just laws and commands, and subjection to legal penalties. 2. The persons or objects to whom this submissio…

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Peter 2:24

his own self--there being none other but Himself who could have done it. His voluntary undertaking of the work of redemption is implied. The Greek puts in antithetical juxtaposition, OUR, and His OWN SELF, to mark the idea of His substitution for us. His "well-doing" in His sufferings is set forth here as an example to servants and to us all (Pe1 2:20). bare--to sacrifice: carried and offered up: a sacrificial term. Isa 53:11-12, "He bare the sin of many": where the idea of bearing on Himself is the prominent one; here the offering in sacrifice is combined with that idea. So the same Greek means in Pe1 2:5. our sins--In offering or presenting in sacrifice (as the Greek for "bare" implies…

Who his own self - Not another in his place, as some anciently supposed, because they thought it impossible that the Christ should suffer. Bare our sins in his own body - Bore the punishment due to our sins. In no other sense could Christ bear them. To say that they were so imputed to him as if they had been his own, and that the Father beheld him as blackened with imputed sin, is monstrous, if not blasphemous. That we, being dead to sins - Ἱνα ταις ἁμαρτιαις απογενομενοι· That we, being freed from sin - delivered out of its power, and from under its tyranny. Should live unto righteousness - That righteousness should be our master now, as sin was before. He is speaking still lo servants wh…

The Church Fathers

This is a new and strange kind of healing. For in this case it is the doctor who receives the honor but the patient who is healed.
— Theodoret of Cyrus, CATENA

"As dead to sins." For having become estranged by sins, (ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ἀπογενόμενοι), it is taken for ἀποθάνοντες, that is, dead. "by whose stripes you were healed." For having been scourged by Pilate, he also bore scourges in the body.
— Oecumenius, Commentary on 1 Peter

By the blood of Christ, through faith, we have been cleansed from all sin, and by water we were baptized into the death of our Lord. We have sworn in effect that we are dead to sin and to the world but alive unto righteousness.
— Basil of Caesarea, ON BAPTISM 1.3
