A Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: 1 Peter (Biblia.com)

A Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: 1 Peter is unavailable, but you can change that!

Lange’s Commentary on the Holy Scriptures has served as a standard reference for more than a century. The subtitle “Critical, Doctrinal, and Homiletical” aptly describes the three-pronged approach to the biblical text. This translated version of the German text is often considered by many to be superior to the original.

VER. 13. Wherefore, Διό refers to all the preceding account of the possession (by grace) of the elect. The New Testament state of grace is mainly designed to beget a perfect hope in the future consummation and perfecting of salvation. This hope essentially facilitates the full use of salvation with a view to holiness, to which exhortation is made in v. 14, etc. In v. 13, hope should be regarded as the central and leading idea, the other exhortations being added as participles.
