1 Peter 3:10
_ _ will love — Greek, “wishes to love.” He who loves life (present and eternal), and desires to continue to do so, not involving himself in troubles which will make this life a burden, and cause him to forfeit eternal life. Peter confirms his exhortation, 1 Peter 3:9, by Psalms 34:12-16.
_ _ refrain — curb, literally, “cause to cease”; implying that our natural inclination and custom is to speak evil. “Men commonly think that they would be exposed to the wantonness of their enemies if they did not strenuously vindicate their rights. But the Spirit promises a life of blessedness to none but those who are gentle and patient of evils” [Calvin].
_ _ evil ... guile — First he warns against sins of the tongue, evil-speaking, and deceitful, double-tongued speaking; next, against acts of injury to one’s neighbor. |

For he that desireth to love life, and to see good days — That would make life amiable and desirable. Psalms 34:12, &c. |
1 Peter 3:10
(13) For he that will love life, and (h) see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
(13) A secret objection: But this our patience shall be nothing else but an inciting and hardening of the wicked in their wickedness, to make them set upon us more boldly and destroy us. Indeed (faith the apostle by the words of David) to live without doing harm, and to follow after peace when it flies away, is the way to that happy and quiet peace. If so be any man be afflicted for doing justly, the Lord marks all things, and will in his time deliver the godly, who cry to him, and will destroy the wicked.
(h) Lead a blessed and happy life. |
