Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
kiss of charity-- Rom 16:16, "an holy kiss": the token of love to God and the brethren. Love and holiness are inseparable. Compare the instance, Act 20:37.
Peace--Peter's closing salutation; as Paul's is, "Grace be with you," though he accompanies it with "peace be to the brethren." "Peace" (flowing from salvation) was Christ's own salutation after the resurrection, and from Him Peter derives it.
be with you all that are in Christ Jesus--The oldest manuscripts omit "Jesus." In Eph 6:24, addressed to the same region, the same limitation of the salutation occurs, whence, perhaps, Peter here adopts it. Contrast, "Be with you all," Rom 16:24; Co1 16:23.

Kiss of charity
Compare Co1 16:20.

| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity - See the notes on Rom 16:16, and on Co1 16:20 (note). In the above places the kiss is called a holy kiss; here, φιληματι αγαπης, a kiss of Love; i.e. as a mark of their love to each other, in order that misunderstandings might be prevented. But ten or twelve MSS., with the Syriac, Arabic, Armenian, and Vulgate, have ἁγιῳ, holy; salute one another with a Holy kiss. The difference is not great.
Peace be with you all - May all prosperity, spiritual and temporal, be with all that are in Christ Jesus - at are truly converted to him, and live in his Spirit obedient to his will.
Amen - Is wanting, as usual, in some of the principal MSS. and versions.
The subscriptions are, as in other cases, various.
In the Versions:
The end of the First Epistle of the Apostle Peter. - Syriac.
The First Catholic Epistle of Peter the apostle is ended. - Syriac Philoxenian.
The end of the Epistle of St. Peter; may his supplication preserve us!
Amen. Praise be to the Lord of never ending and eternal glory! Amen. - Arabic.
The First Epistle of Peter is completed; may his intercession be with us!
Amen, and Amen. - Aethiopic, Nothing in the Coptic.
Nothing in the printed Vulgate.
The end of the First Epistle of St. Peter. - Complutensian Polyglott.
The First Epistle of St. Peter is ended. - Bib. Vulgat. Edit. Princ.
In the Manuscripts:
The First of Peter. - Codex Alexand. and Codex Vatican.
Written from Rome. - A MS. of the twelfth century,
The end of the First Catholic Epistle of Peter, written from Rome. - A MS. of the thirteenth century.
These later subscriptions are of little value, nor do any of them help to ascertain the place where the epistle was written. The word Rome is only the supposed interpretation of the word Babylon, as in Pe1 5:13, which see.
As the true Church of Christ has generally been in a state of suffering, the epistles of St. Peter have ever been most highly prized by all believers. That which we have just finished is an admirable letter, containing some of the most important maxims and consolations for the Church in the wilderness. No Christian can read it without deriving from it both light and life. Ministers, especially, should study it well, that they may know how to comfort their flocks when in persecution or adversity. He never speaks to good effect in any spiritual case who is not furnished out of the Divine treasury. God's words invite, solicit, and command assent; on them a man may confidently rely. The words of man may be true, but they are not infallible, This is the character of God's word alone.
I Shall sum up the contents of this chapter in the words of a good commentator: "Because the knowledge and good behavior of the people depend, in a great measure, upon the kind of instruction which they receive from their teachers, the apostle in this chapter addressed the elders, that is, the bishops, pastors, rulers, and deacons among the brethren of Pontus, etc., Pe1 5:1, exhorting the bishops in particular to feed the flock of God committed to their care faithfully, and to exercise their episcopal office, not as by constraint, but willingly; not from the love of gain, but from love to their Master and to the flock, Pe1 5:2; and not to lord it over God's heritage, but to be patterns of humility and disinterestedness to the people, Pe1 5:3. This exhortation to bishops to feed Christ's flock was given with much propriety by Peter, who had himself been appointed by Christ to feed his lambs and his sheep. Next, because the faithful performance of the bishop's office was, in that age, attended with great difficulty and danger, the apostle, to encourage the bishops, assured them that; when the chief Shepherd shall appear, they shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away, Pe1 5:4. The distinguished reward which Christ is to bestow on those who have suffered for his sake being a favourite topic with our apostle, he introduces it often in this epistle.
"Having thus exhorted the pastors, the apostle turned his discourse to the people, charging them to be subject to their elders, and to one another; that is, to be of a teachable disposition, and to receive instruction from every one capable of giving it, and to do all the duties which they could to each other, according to their different stations and relations, Pe1 5:5. But especially to be subject to God, by humbly submitting themselves to the judgments which were coming upon them, that God might exalt them in due time, Pe1 5:6. Casting all their anxious care on God, because he cared for them, Pe1 5:7. And to watch against the devil, who went about as a roaring lion, seeking to destroy them by instigating the wicked to persecute them, and drive them into apostasy, Pe1 5:8. But they were to resist that terrible enemy by steadfastness in the faith, and not to think themselves hardly dealt with when persecuted, knowing that their brethren everywhere were exposed to the same temptations of the devil, Pe1 5:9. In the meantime, to give them all the assistance in his power, the apostle prayed earnestly to God to stablish and strengthen them, Pe1 5:10. And ended his prayer with a doxology to God, expressive of his supreme dominion over the universe, and all the things it contains.
"The apostle informed the brethren of Pontus that he had sent this letter to them by Silvanus, whom he praised for his fidelity to Christ, Pe1 5:12. Then, giving them the salutation of the Church in Babylon, where it seems he was when he wrote this letter, he added the salutation of Mark, whom he called his son, either because he had converted him, or on account of the great attachment which Mark bore to him, Pe1 5:13. And having desired them to salute one another, he concluded with giving them his apostolical benediction, Pe1 5:14." See Dr. Macknight.

37 And [1161] they all [3956] wept [2805] [1096] sore [2425], and [2532] fell [1968] on [1909] Paul's [3972] neck [5137], and kissed [2705] him [846],
16 Salute [782] one another [240] with [1722] an holy [40] kiss [5370]. The churches [1577] of Christ [5547] salute [782] you [5209].

23 Peace [1515] be to the brethren [80], and [2532] love [26] with [3326] faith [4102], from [575] God [2316] the Father [3962] and [2532] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
16 Salute [782] one another [240] with [1722] an holy [40] kiss [5370]. The churches [1577] of Christ [5547] salute [782] you [5209].

14 Greet ye [782] one another [240] with [1722] a kiss [5370] of charity [26]. Peace [1515] be with you [5213] all [3956] that are in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]. Amen [281].
13 The church that is at [1722] Babylon [897], elected together with [4899] you, saluteth [782] you [5209]; and [2532] so doth Marcus [3138] my [3450] son [5207].
12 By [1223] Silvanus [4610], a faithful [4103] brother [80] unto you [5213], as [5613] I suppose [3049], I have written [1125] briefly [1223] [3641], exhorting [3870], and [2532] testifying [1957] that this [5026] is [1511] the true [227] grace [5485] of God [2316] wherein [1519] [3739] ye stand [2476].
10 But [1161] the God [2316] of all [3956] grace [5485], who [3588] hath called [2564] us [2248] unto [1519] his [846] eternal [166] glory [1391] by [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424], after that ye have suffered [3958] a while [3641], [846] make [2675] you [5209] perfect [2675], stablish [4741], strengthen [4599], settle [2311] you.
9 Whom [3739] resist [436] stedfast [4731] in the faith [4102], knowing [1492] that the same [846] afflictions [3804] are accomplished [2005] in your [5216] brethren [81] that are in [1722] the world [2889].
8 Be sober [3525], be vigilant [1127]; because [3754] your [5216] adversary [476] the devil [1228], as [5613] a roaring [5612] lion [3023], walketh about [4043], seeking [2212] whom [5101] he may devour [2666]:
7 Casting [1977] all [3956] your [5216] care [3308] upon [1909] him [846]; for [3754] he [846] careth [3199] for [4012] you [5216].
6 Humble yourselves [5013] therefore [3767] under [5259] the mighty [2900] hand [5495] of God [2316], that [2443] he may exalt [5312] you [5209] in [1722] due time [2540]:
5 Likewise [3668], ye younger [3501], submit yourselves [5293] unto the elder [4245]. Yea [1161], all [3956] of you be subject [5293] one to another [240], and be clothed [1463] with humility [5012]: for [3754] God [2316] resisteth [498] the proud [5244], and [1161] giveth [1325] grace [5485] to the humble [5011].
4 And [2532] when the chief Shepherd [750] shall appear [5319], ye shall receive [2865] a crown [4735] of glory [1391] that fadeth not away [262].
3 Neither [3366] as [5613] being lords over [2634] God's heritage [2819], but [235] being [1096] ensamples [5179] to the flock [4168].
2 Feed [4165] the flock [4168] of God [2316] which is among [1722] you [5213], taking the oversight [1983] thereof, not [3361] by constraint [317], but [235] willingly [1596]; not [3366] for filthy lucre [147], but [235] of a ready mind [4290];
1 The elders [4245] which are among [1722] you [5213] I exhort [3870], who [3588] am also an elder [4850], and [2532] a witness [3144] of the sufferings [3804] of Christ [5547], and also [2532] a partaker [2844] of the glory [1391] that shall [3195] be revealed [601]:
13 The church that is at [1722] Babylon [897], elected together with [4899] you, saluteth [782] you [5209]; and [2532] so doth Marcus [3138] my [3450] son [5207].
20 All [3956] the brethren [80] greet [782] you [5209]. Greet ye [782] one another [240] with [1722] an holy [40] kiss [5370].
16 Salute [782] one another [240] with [1722] an holy [40] kiss [5370]. The churches [1577] of Christ [5547] salute [782] you [5209].
