1 Peter 2:21
_ _ Christ’s example a proof that patient endurance under undeserved sufferings is acceptable with God.
_ _ hereunto — to the patient endurance of unmerited suffering (1 Peter 3:9). Christ is an example to servants, even as He was once in “the form of a servant.”
_ _ called — with a heavenly calling, though slaves.
_ _ for us — His dying for us is the highest exemplification of “doing well” (1 Peter 2:20). Ye must patiently suffer, being innocent, as Christ also innocently suffered (not for Himself, but for us). The oldest manuscripts for “us ... us,” read, “you ... for you.” Christ’s sufferings, while they are for an example, were also primarily sufferings “for us,” a consideration which imposes an everlasting obligation on us to please Him.
_ _ leaving — behind: so the Greek: on His departure to the Father, to His glory.
_ _ an example — Greek, “a copy,” literally, “a writing copy” set by masters for their pupils. Christ’s precepts and sermons were the transcript of His life. Peter graphically sets before servants those features especially suited to their case.
_ _ follow — close upon: so the Greek.
_ _ his steps — footsteps, namely, of His patience combined with innocence. |
1 Peter 2:21
Hereunto are ye — Christians. Called — To suffer wrongfully. Leaving you an example — When he went to God. That ye might follow his steps — Of innocence and patience. |
1 Peter 2:21
(23) For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an (g) example, that ye should follow his steps:
(23) He alleviates the grievousness of servanthood, while he shows plainly that Christ died also for servants, that they should bear so much more patiently this inequality between men who are of the same nature: moreover setting before them Christ the Lord of lords for an example, he signifies that they cannot but seem too subdued, who show themselves more grieved in the bearing of injuries, than Christ himself who was most just, and most severely of all afflicted, and yet was most patient.
(g) A metaphor of speech taken from painters and schoolmasters. |
