1 Peter 3:9
_ _ evil — in deed.
_ _ railing — in word.
_ _ blessing — your revilers; participle, not a noun after “rendering.”
_ _ knowing that — The oldest manuscripts read merely, “because.”
_ _ are — Greek, “were called.”
_ _ inherit a blessing — not only passive, but also active; receiving spiritual blessing from God by faith, and in your turn blessing others from love [Gerhard in Alford]. “It is not in order to inherit a blessing that we must bless, but because our portion is blessing.” No railing can injure you (1 Peter 3:13). Imitate God who “blesses” you. The first fruits of His blessing for eternity are enjoyed by the righteous even now (1 Peter 3:10) [Bengel]. |
1 Peter 3:9
Ye are called to inherit a blessing — Therefore their railing cannot hurt you; and, by blessing them, you imitate God, who blesses you. |
1 Peter 3:9
(11) Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; (12) knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
(11) We must not only not recompense injury for injury, but we must also recompense them with benefits.
(12) An argument taken by comparison: Seeing that we ourselves are unworthy of so great bountifulness, than forgive one another's faults? And from this verse to the end of the chapter, (1 Peter 3:9-22), there is a digression, to exhort us valiantly to bear afflictions. |
