1 Peter 2:15
_ _ Ground of his directing them to submit themselves (1 Peter 2:13).
_ _ put to silence — literally, “to muzzle,” “to stop the mouth.”
_ _ ignorance — spiritual not having “the knowledge of God,” and therefore ignorant of the children of God, and misconstruing their acts; influenced by mere appearances, and ever ready to open their mouths, rather than their eyes and ears. Their ignorance should move the believer’s pity, not his anger. They judge of things which they are incapable of judging through unbelief (compare 1 Peter 2:12). Maintain such a walk that they shall have no charge against you, except touching your faith; and so their minds shall be favorably disposed towards Christianity. |
1 Peter 2:15
The ignorance — Of them who blame you, because they do not know you: a strong motive to pity them. |
1 Peter 2:15
(19) For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
(19) He declares the first argument more amply, showing that Christian liberty does among all things least or not at all consist in this, that is, to cast off the bridle of laws (as at that time some altogether unskilful in the kingdom of God reported) but rather in this, that living holy lives according to the will of God, we should reveal to all men, that the gospel is not a cloak for sin and wickedness, seeing we are free of this sort, that yet we are still the servants of God, and not of sin. |
