Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Peter 1:14

_ _ From sobriety of spirit and endurance of hope Peter passes to obedience, holiness, and reverential fear.

_ _ As — marking their present actual character as “born again” (1 Peter 1:3, 1 Peter 1:22).

_ _ obedient childrenGreek, “children of obedience”: children to whom obedience is their characteristic and ruling nature, as a child is of the same nature as the mother and father. Contrast Ephesians 5:6, “the children of disobedience.” Compare 1 Peter 1:17, “obeying the Father” whose “children” ye are. Having the obedience of faith (compare 1 Peter 1:22) and so of practice (compare 1 Peter 1:16, 1 Peter 1:18). “Faith is the highest obedience, because discharged to the highest command” [Luther].

_ _ fashioning — The outward fashion (Greek,schema”) is fleeting, and merely on the surface. The “form,” or conformation in the New Testament, is something deeper and more perfect and essential.

_ _ the former lusts in — which were characteristic of your state of ignorance of God: true of both Jews and Gentiles. The sanctification is first described negatively (1 Peter 1:14, “not fashioning yourselves,” etc.; the putting off the old man, even in the outward fashion, as well as in the inward conformation), then positively (1 Peter 1:15, putting on the new man, compare Ephesians 4:22, Ephesians 4:24). “Lusts” flow from the original birth-sin (inherited from our first parents, who by self-willed desire brought sin into the world), the lust which, ever since man has been alienated from God, seeks to fill up with earthly things the emptiness of his being; the manifold forms which the mother-lust assumes are called in the plural lusts. In the regenerate, as far as the new man is concerned, which constitutes his truest self, “sin” no longer exists; but in the flesh or old man it does. Hence arises the conflict, uninterruptedly maintained through life, wherein the new man in the main prevails, and at last completely. But the natural man knows only the combat of his lusts with one another, or with the law, without power to conquer them.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Peter 1:13-23.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Peter 1:14

Your desires — Which ye had while ye were ignorant of God.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Peter 1:14

(8) As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

(8) He passes from faith and hope, to the fruits of them both, which are understood in the name of obedience. It consists in two things, in renouncing our lusts, and living godly: which lusts have their beginning in that blindness in which all men are born: but holiness proceeds that the father and the children may be of one disposition.
