Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Peter 1:22

_ _ purified ... in obeying the truthGreek, “in your (or ‘the’) obedience of (that is, ‘to’) the truth (the Gospel way of salvation),” that is, in the fact of your believing. Faith purifies the heart as giving it the only pure motive, love to God (Acts 15:9; Romans 1:5, “obedience to the faith”).

_ _ through the Spirit — omitted in the oldest manuscripts. The Holy Spirit is the purifier by bestowing the obedience of faith (1 Peter 1:2; 1 Corinthians 12:3).

_ _ unto — with a view to: the proper result of the purifying of your hearts by faith. “For what end must we lead a chaste life? That we may thereby be saved? No: but for this, that we may serve our neighbor” [Luther].

_ _ unfeigned1 Peter 2:1, 1 Peter 2:2, “laying aside ... hypocrisies ... sincere.”

_ _ love of the brethren — that is, of Christians. Brotherly love is distinct from common love. “The Christian loves primarily those in Christ; secondarily, all who might be in Christ, namely, all men, as Christ as man died for all, and as he hopes that they, too, may become his Christian brethren” [Steiger]. Bengel remarks that as here, so in 2 Peter 1:5-7, “brotherly love” is preceded by the purifying graces, “faith, knowledge, and godliness,” etc. Love to the brethren is the evidence of our regeneration and justification by faith.

_ _ love one another — When the purifying by faith into love of the brethren has formed the habit, then the act follows, so that the “love” is at once habit and act.

_ _ with a pure heart — The oldest manuscripts read, “(love) from the heart.”

_ _ ferventlyGreek, “intensely”: with all the powers on the stretch (1 Peter 4:8). “Instantly” (Acts 26:7).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Peter 1:13-23.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Peter 1:22

Having purified your souls by obeying the truth through the Spirit, who bestows upon you freely, both obedience and purity of heart, and unfeigned love of the brethren, go on to still higher degrees of love. Love one another fervently — With the most strong and tender affection; and yet with a pure heart — Pure from any spot of unholy desire or inordinate passion.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Peter 1:22

(13) Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, [see that ye] love one another with a pure heart fervently:

(13) He commends the practice of obedience, that is, charity: earnestly repeating again, that he speaks not of any common charity, and such as proceeds from that our corrupt nature, but of that whose beginning is the Spirit of God, which purifies our souls through the word laid hold on by faith, and engenders also in us a spiritual and everlasting life, as God himself is most pure and truly living.
