  • 1 Peter 3:18-22 Ekkehardt Mueller
    1 Peter 3:18-22 Ekkehardt Mueller 1 Peter 3:18-22 belongs to the more difficult passages in the NT. It has received various interpretations throughout church history. Some have concluded from this passage that there is an immortal soul, that people have a second chance of salvation after death, and/or that Jesus descended into hell and came up again. Others have questioned these interpretations. I. Context The first epistle of Peter contains a strong emphasis on suffering. The term paschō (to suffer) appears twelve times in the epistle and the term pathēmata (suffering) four times. No NT document uses the word family “suffering” more frequently than 1 Peter. The topic of suffering is found in all five chapters. But Peter also presents the Christian hope (e.g., 1:3) and stresses exemplary Christian behavior and conduct (e.g., 2:15; 3:1-2). He wants to encourage his audience to live a holy life in spite of suffering, knowing that Christians have a wonderful hope. The epistle contains several christological passages which can motivate Christians to follow Jesus even under difficult circumstances. In 1:18-19 they are told that they were redeemed by the blood of Jesus. The passage 2:21-25 stresses that Jesus suffered for them, bore their sins, and healed them. Now He is their shepherd and bishop. Therefore, they should die to sin and live to righteousness. Another important christological section is the passage under investigation. While the first two passages emphasize how Jesus suffered and remind the reader that Jesus brought about salvation, the third passage points to the far-reaching consequences of salvation and stresses Jesus’ kingship.

  • 1 and 2 Peter, Green Notes, "There Is a Very Great Stylistic Difference Between These Two Letters
    Reading The Greek New Testament www.misselbrook.org.uk/ Letters of Peter and Jude Introduction to 1 Peter Authorship The letter opens with a simple assertion of authorship by "Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ" (1:1). But there have been a number of objections raised against Petrine authorship: The very fine quality of the Greek suggests it was not written by a Jewish fisherman. Moreover, the Greek is quite different from the poor Greek of 2 Peter – the same person could not have written both letters. The letter contains a number of 'Paulinisms'. How did Peter (Apostle to the Jews), come into contact with the Christians of the provinces listed in 1:1? Peter Davids comments, "These questions can hardly make one leap to the conclusion of pseudepigraphy. If this work is so Pauline and if the area of the recipients was so Pauline, why would a pseudonymous author not attribute it to Paul? After all, Paul, unlike Peter, was known for his letter writing. Furthermore, many of the same scholars who reject the Petrine authorship of 1 Peter point to the Pastoral Epistles and other Pauline works as being pseudonymous. If Pauline pseudepigraphy was this common, since 1 Peter has such a Pauline tone one must justify why such an author would not attribute his work to Paul." The letter was written with Silvanus acting as an amanuensis or secretary (5:12). Selwyn says, "There is no reason for disputing the identity of this Silvanus with the Silvanus who is named in 1 Thess 1:1 and 2 Thess 1:1 as joint author with St Paul and Timothy of these two Epistles, nor the identity of Silvanus with the Silas who is mentioned in Acts." Silas/Silvanus was an able minister of the word (Acts 15:32) and, after having worked with Paul in Corinth may have gone on to work in Asia Minor, perhaps alongside Peter.

  • The First Epistle of Peter
    The First Epistle of PETER 1 PETER 1 1 Peter 1:1–5 1:1 From Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ. To God’s chosen people who are temporary residents in the world and are scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia. Peter introduces himself as an apostle, identifying himself as one of the original twelve disciples specifically chosen by Jesus Christ for the purpose of learning from Him during His earthly ministry. Peter specifically addressed this letter to believers in Asia Minor, a large region north and northwest of Jerusalem. Pontus was a Roman prov- ince on the southern border of the Black Sea. Galatia, the central province, was populated mostly by Gauls and Greeks. Cappadocia, the largest province, was to the east in what is now central Turkey. Asia was a Roman province on the western side of Asia Minor, bordering the Aegean Sea. Bithynia was north of Galatia along the southern shore of the Black Sea. Significantly, many Jews from these places were in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1, 5, 7–9). Many Christians, both Jews and Gentiles, fled from Rome into these 131 132 The General Epistles: A Practical Faith outer regions to escape the hand of Nero, who falsely blamed them for the burning of Rome. Accordingly, Peter wrote to the pilgrims scattered throughout these regions of Asia Minor, encouraging them in the face of daunting opposition. 1:2 God the Father knew you long ago and chose you to live holy lives with the Spirit’s help so that you are obedient to Jesus Christ and are sprinkled with his blood.

  • The Quotations of Isaiah in 1 Peter: a Text-Critical Analysis Katie Marcar Otago University
    The Quotations of Isaiah in 1 Peter: A Text-Critical Analysis Katie Marcar Otago University Abstract: This article examines the quotations of Isaiah in 1 Peter in order to determine, as far as possible, the author’s Vorlage. It first defines quotations (as opposed to allu- sions), evaluates the importance of introductory formula or terms, and contextualizes this study in terms of comparable analyses in Pauline studies. After this methodological ground-clearing, the textual forms of the following six Isaianic quotations are analysed in detail: 1 Pet 1:24–25 (Isa 40:6–8), 1 Pet 2:6 (Isa 28:16), 1 Pet 2:8 (Isa 8:14), 1 Pet 2:22 (Isa 53:9), 1 Pet 2:25 (Isa 53:6), and 1 Pet 3:14–15 (Isa 8:12–13). These quotations are studied in light of evidence from the proto-MT, Dead Sea Scrolls, Old Greek (OG), the hexaplaric recensions, and other relevant sources of textual information. The article concludes that quotations of Isaiah in 1 Peter generally agree with the OG, with a few exceptions where they are closer to the proto-MT, and bear no evidence of a Hebraizing revision except in quotations of Isaiah that are also quoted by Paul. Keywords: 1 Peter, Textual Criticism, Septuagint, Isaiah, New Testament Use of the Old, Dead Sea Scrolls, Second Temple Judaism, Early Christianity Although 1 Peter is saturated with quotations, allusions, and biblicisms from the Hebrew Scrip- tures, the author deploys more quotations and allusions from Isaiah than from any other text.1 However, commentators have often described 1 Peter’s quotations as septuagintal without fur- ther refinement.2 Such statements fail to recognize the complex history and textual variation within individual books of the Old Greek (OG) that lies beneath this tidy label.3 1 Schutter and Elliott number approximately forty-six quotations and allusions.

  • 1 Peter As a Pseudonymous Letter: on Its Historical Background
    1 Peter as a Pseudonymous Letter: On its Historical Background Manabu Tsuji Hiroshima University, Japan 1 Introduction The First Letter of Peter (hereafter: 1 Peter or 1 Pet) represents itself as a circular letter from the apostle Peter to Christians in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia (1:1). While there are still advocates of authenticity, the letter is widely seen as pseudonymous (as will be described later, this view is correct). However, if this is the case, we need to ask why the author created such a letter setting like 1:1. To begin, why is “Peter” selected to be the author? This fundamental question is important given that 1 Peter has much in common with the Pauline and pseudo- Pauline letters. If the author of 1 Peter has knowledge of the Pauline letters and wrote his letter under their influence, why did the author borrow the name of Peter rather than Paul? Other matters that need questioned are why the letter uses the odd expression “from Babylon to the chosen exiles of Diaspora in Pontus, Galatians, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,” and whether this origin and destination are actual or fictional. In the following sections, I will take up these questions concerning the history of the formation of 1 Peter. William Loader, Boris Repschinski, Eric Wong (Eds.)

  • Putting Together the Puzzle of the New Testament
    Putting Together the Puzzle of the New Testament Supplemental Bible Studies With Extra Sections 1 New Testament #1 CHRIST’S PRIVATE PERIOD Few verses speak directly about Matthew, only Matthew 9:9, 10:3; Mark 2:14, 3:16; Luke 5:27-29, 6:13; and Acts 1:13. From this small amount of information, however, we know that Matthew, also known as Levi, works in Capernaum as one of the despised Publicans, better known as tax collectors. The Jews hate them because they cooperate with Rome and collect more tax than the Jews actually owe. After Jesus challenges Matthew to follow Him, Matthew hosts a huge party inviting many of his friends who apparently do not live in a godly manner so they can meet the Lord. Later Jesus appoints Matthew as one of the Twelve disciples. Remember that the goal of our study focuses as much on letting the New Testament master us as it does on us mastering the New Testament. What then can we learn from Matthew that will help us walk in a manner worthy of our Master? Matthew’s gospel makes many unique contributions to the New Testament. Consider that he, more than any other author, points out how the Lord Jesus fulfills Old Testament prophecies of the coming Messiah. Another unique contribution of Matthew involves his focus on the spoken words of Jesus. The book of Matthew contains five major sermons of the Lord Jesus each one ending with the phrase “when Jesus had finished these words.” The five sermons include the famous Sermon on the Mount (chapters 5-7), instructions for the Twelve disciples (chapter 10), parables about the kingdom of heaven (chapter 13), a message on discipleship (chapter 18), and finally what we call the Olivet Discourse (chapters 24-25).

  • Following Christ's Example: an Exposition of 1 Peter 2:21-25
    Bibliotheca Sacra 139 (1982) 32-45. Copyright © 1982 by Dallas Theological Seminary. Cited with permission. Selected Studies from 1 Peter Part 1: Following Christ's Example: An Exposition of 1 Peter 2:21-25 D. Edmond Hiebert For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth; and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously; and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls (1 Pet. 2:21-25, NASB). These verses contain the fullest elaboration of the example of Jesus Christ for believers in the New Testament. The confirma- tory "for," with which verse 21 begins, establishes the fact that the picture was drawn to undergird the call to the "household servants" (oi[ oi]ke<tai) to submit, as believers in Christ, to suffer- ing for well-doing (vv. 18-20). Peter confirmed the call to submis- sive suffering by citing the example of Christ (v. 21) and then depicted His exemplary and redemptive sufferings (vv. 22-25). His picture contains various allusions to Isaiah 53, the prophetic portrait of the Suffering Servant of the Lord.

  • READING FIRST PETER in the CONTEXT of EARLY CHRISTIAN MISSION Christoph Stenschke
    READING FIRST PETER IN THE CONTEXT OF EARLY CHRISTIAN MISSION Christoph Stenschke Summary This paper argues that 1 Peter should be read against the background of early Christian mission. The readers of 1 Peter have a predomi- nantly Gentile background. The letter assures these Gentile Christians that they now share the status and spiritual privileges of Israel. However, this cherished status also includes an existence as exiles and strangers in the world they live in. This experience was hitherto unknown to them. As God’s people they have a new task: to share their faith in Christ by conduct and by word. Their experience of slander and persecutions cannot and need not bring their calling into question but is part and parcel of being God’s people in the world. 1. Introduction While 1 Peter does ‘not address the issue of missionary work explicitly’,1 some scholars see much of its content as relevant for mission. Some of the recent studies of mission in the New Testament have sections on 1 Peter on its own, so for example E. J. Schnabel in his magisterial volumes Early Christian Mission;2 or as part of a section on the General Epistles, so for example A. Köstenberger.3 Köstenberger writes: ‘Peter’s teaching on the continuity of the old and new covenant people, the necessity of holiness, and the suffering of 1 E. J.

Such a commentary ought to be in the possession of everj^ family. Those who read it will profit by it.
