Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Peter 1:15

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

15. Literally, "But (rather) after the pattern of Him who hath called you (whose characteristic is that He is) holy, be ( Greek, 'become') ye yourselves also holy." God is our grand model. God's calling is a frequently urged motive in Peter's Epistles. Every one that begets, begets an offspring resembling himself [EPIPHANIUS]. "Let the acts of the offspring indicate similarity to the Father" [AUGUSTINE]. conversation —deportment, course of life: one's way of going about, as distinguished from one's internal nature, to which it must outwardly correspond. Christians are already holy unto God by consecration; they must be so also in their outward walk and behavior in all respects. The outward must correspond to the inward man. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-16" class="com-number"
