Jump to Previous Abundance Acknowledgement Full Grace Granted Increasing Jesus Multiplied PeaceJump to Next Abundance Acknowledgement Full Grace Granted Increasing Jesus Multiplied Peace2 Peter 1 1. Peter confirms the hope of the increase of God's grace,5. exhorts them, by faith, and good works, to make their calling sure; 12. whereof he is careful to remind them, knowing that his death is at hand; 16. and assures them of the authenticity of the Gospel, by the eyewitness of the apostles and the prophets. Grace and peace The opening of 2 Peter 1:2 with "Grace and peace" is a common salutation in the New Testament, reflecting a deep theological significance. The Greek word for "grace" is "charis," which conveys the idea of unmerited favor and divine assistance. In the context of Peter's letter, it emphasizes the foundational Christian belief that salvation and all spiritual blessings are gifts from God, not earned by human effort. "Peace," from the Greek "eirene," signifies not just the absence of conflict but a profound sense of well-being and wholeness that comes from reconciliation with God through Jesus Christ. Historically, this greeting would resonate with both Jewish and Gentile believers, as "peace" (shalom in Hebrew) was a central theme in Jewish thought, representing completeness and harmony. be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord Through the knowledge.--Better, as before, in. The preposition indicates the sphere or element in which the action takes place, or the aspect in which it is contemplated. Tyndale and the Rhemish version have "in."" Knowledge" is not quite strong enough. In the original we have a compound word, which implies fuller, riper, more minute knowledge. But any of these expressions would be a little too strong, as the simple word is a little too weak. The same compound recurs 2Peter 1:3. It is rare in St. Paul's earlier letters, but is more common in the later ones. This fact, coupled with its appearance here, agrees well with the more contemplative aspect in which the Gospel began gradually to be presented; a change which finds its fullest expression in the transition from the first three Gospels to the fourth. The word is introduced here with telling emphasis; "in the fuller knowledge of God" anticipates the attack that is coming upon the godless speculations of the "false teachers" in 2 Peter 2. And of Jesus our Lord.--Deliberately added. These false teachers "denied the Lord that bought them" (2Peter 2:1), and promised all kinds of high-sounding benefits to their followers (2Peter 2:18). The Apostle assures his readers that only in fuller knowledge of their Lord can grace and peace be multiplied to them. The combination "Jesus our Lord" is unusual; elsewhere only Romans 4:24. Another small indication of independence (see first Note). There should be a fullstop at "Lord;" so Tyndale, Cranmer, and Geneva. . . . Verse 2. - Grace and peace be multiplied unto you. The order of the words in the Greek is the same as in 1 Peter 1:2. The exact correspondence should be noticed. The writer of the Second Epistle, if not St. Peter himself, must have been attempting to imitate of set purpose the opening salutation of the First Epistle. Through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord; rather, in the knowledge. The knowledge of God is the sphere in which grace and peace are communicated to the soul; they cannot be found outside that sphere. "Full knowledge" (ἐπίγνωσις) may be regarded as the key-note of this Epistle, as "hope" is of the first. Ἐπίγνωσις is a stronger word than γνῶσις; it means "knowledge" directed towards an object, gradually approaching nearer and nearer to it, concentrated upon it, fixed closely upon it. So it comes to mean the knowledge, not merely of intellectual apprehension, but rather of deep contemplation; the knowledge which implies love - for only love can concentrate continually the powers of the soul in close meditation upon its object. Comp. 1 Corinthians 13, where, after saying in verse 8 that "knowledge (γνῶσις) shall be done away," St. Paul continues, in verse 12, "Now I know (γινώσκω) in part, but then I shall know (ἐπιγνώσομαι) even as also I am known (ἐπεγνώσθην)." He contrasts our present imperfect knowledge with the full knowledge which the blessed will have in heaven, and which God now has of us, using the verb ἐπιγινώδκω of that fuller knowledge, as he had used γνῶσις of the imperfect knowledge. The word ἐπίγνωσις occurs several times in the Gospels, and is common in St. Paul's Epistles; it seems to imply a sort of protest against the knowledge that "puffeth up" (1 Corinthians 8:1), and especially against the knowledge "falsely so called" (1 Timothy 6:20), which was claimed by the false teachers, who were the precursors of the coming Gnosticism (comp. Colossians 1:9, 10; Colossians 2:2; Colossians 3:10). St. Peter had learned mere of the doings of these false teachers since he wrote the First Epistle, and this may perhaps be a reason for his frequent use of the word ἐπίγνωσις in the second. "Jesus our Lord" is a variation of the more common form, such as "the Lord Jesus;" it occurs only here and in Romans 4:24.Parallel Commentaries ...
