2 Peter 1:9
_ _ But — Greek, “For.” Confirming the need of these graces (2 Peter 1:5-8) by the fatal consequences of the want of them.
_ _ he that lacketh — Greek, “he to whom these are not present.”
_ _ blind — as to the spiritual realities of the unseen world.
_ _ and cannot see afar off — explanatory of “blind.” He closes his eyes (Greek) as unable to see distant objects (namely, heavenly things), and fixes his gaze on present and earthly things which alone he can see. Perhaps a degree of willfulness in the blindness is implied in the Greek, “closing the eyes,” which constitutes its culpability; hating and rebelling against the light shining around him.
_ _ forgotten — Greek, “contracted forgetfulness,” willful and culpable obliviousness.
_ _ that he was purged — The continually present sense of one’s sins having been once for all forgiven, is the strongest stimulus to every grace (Psalms 130:4). This once-for-all accomplished cleansing of unbelievers at their new birth is taught symbolically by Christ, John 13:10, Greek, “He that has been bathed (once for all) needeth not save to wash his feet (of the soils contracted in the daily walk), but is clean every whit (in Christ our righteousness).” “Once purged (with Christ’s blood), we should have no more consciousness of sin (as condemning us, Hebrews 10:2, because of God’s promise).” Baptism is the sacramental pledge of this. |
2 Peter 1:9
But he that wanteth these — That does not add them to his faith. Is blind — The eyes of his understanding are again closed. He cannot see God, or his pardoning love. He has lost the evidence of things not seen. Not able to see afar off — Literally, purblind. He has lost sight of the precious promises: perfect love and heaven are equally out of his sight. Nay, he cannot now see what himself once enjoyed. Having, as it were, forgot the purification from his former sins — Scarce knowing what he himself then felt, when his sins were forgiven. |
2 Peter 1:9
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and (i) cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
(i) He that has not an effectual knowledge of God in him, is blind concerning the kingdom of God, for he cannot see things that are afar off, that is to say, heavenly things. |

2 Corinthians 4:3-4 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: ... In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
1 John 2:9-11 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. ... But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
Revelation 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

- that he:
2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
2 Peter 2:18-20 For when they speak great swelling [words] of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, [through much] wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. ... For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
Romans 6:1-4 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? ... Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
