1 Peter
King James Version (KJV)


“But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;”
King James Version (KJV)
1:13 Wherefore - Having such encouragement. Gird up the loins of your mind - As persons in the eastern countries were wont, in travelling or running, to gird up their long garments, so gather ye up all your thoughts and affections, and keep your mind always disencumbered and prepared to run the race which is set before you. Be watchful - As servants that wait for their Lord. And hope to the end - Maintain a full expectation of all the grace - The blessings flowing from the free favour of God. Which shall be brought to you at the final revelation of Jesus Christ - And which are now brought to you by the revelation of Christ in you.
1:14 Your desires - Which ye had while ye were ignorant of God.
1:16 #Lev 11:44|.
1:17 Who judgeth according to every man's work - According to the tenor of his life and conversation. Pass the time of your sojourning - Your short abode on earth. In humble, loving fear - The proper companion and guard of hope.
1Pe 1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy. God the Father, to whom the calling is assigned in the Scriptures. Obedient children will seek to please and to be like their father. So be ye holy in all manner of conversation. "Our Father" is holy, and the duty rests upon us of seeking holy lives.
