1 Peter 2:19

_ _ Reason for subjection even to froward masters.

_ _ thankworthy — (Luke 6:33). A course out of the common, and especially praiseworthy in the eyes of God: not as Rome interprets, earning merit, and so a work of supererogation (compare 1 Peter 2:20).

_ _ for conscience toward God — literally, “consciousness of God”: from a conscientious regard to God, more than to men.

_ _ endureGreek, “patiently bear up under”: as a superimposed burden [Alford].

_ _ griefGreek, “griefs.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Peter 2:13-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Peter 2:19

For conscience toward God — From a pure desire of pleasing him. Grief — Severe treatment.

(22) For this [is] thankworthy, if a man for (f) conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

(22) The taking away of an objection: indeed the condition of servants is hard, especially if they have perverse masters, but thus their subjection shall be so much more acceptable to God, if his will prevails more with servants, than the masters wrong treatment.

(f) Because he makes a conscience of it, to offend God, by whose good will and appointment he knows this burden is laid upon him.
