Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Peter 1:2

_ _ Grace ... peace — (1 Peter 1:2).

_ _ throughGreek, “in”: the sphere IN which alone grace and peace can be multiplied.

_ _ knowledgeGreek,full knowledge.”

_ _ of God, and of Jesus our Lord — The Father is here meant by “God,” but the Son in 2 Peter 1:1 : marking how entirely one the Father and Son are (John 14:7-11). The Vulgate omits “of God and”; but oldest manuscripts support the words. Still the prominent object of Peter’s exhortation is “the knowledge of Jesus our Lord” (a phrase only in Romans 4:24), and, only secondarily, of the Father through Him (2 Peter 1:8; 2 Peter 2:20; 2 Peter 3:18).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Peter 1:1-4.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Peter 1:2

Through the divine, experimental knowledge of God and of Christ.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

2 Peter 1:2

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you (2) through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

(2) Faith is the acknowledging of God and Christ, from which all our blessedness issues and flows.
