that ye . . . be found of him--"in His sight" [ALFORD], at His coming; plainly implying a personal coming.
without spot--at the coming marriage feast of the Lamb, in contrast to Pe2 2:13, "Spots they are and blemishes while they feast," not having on the King's pure wedding garment.
blameless-- (Co1 1:8; Phi 1:10; Th1 3:13; Th1 5:23).
in peace--in all its aspects, towards God, your own consciences, and your fellow men, and as its consequence eternal blessedness: "the God of peace" will effect this for you. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent - That is, in securing your salvation. The effect of such hopes and prospects should be to lead us to an earnest inquiry whether we are prepared to dwell in a holy world, and to make us diligent in performing the duties, and patient in bearing the trials of life. He who has such hopes set before him, should seek earnestly that he may be enabled truly to avail himself of them, and should make their attainment the great object of his life. He who is so soon to come to an end of all weary toil, should be willing to labor diligently and faithfully while life lasts. He who is so soon to be relieved from all temptation and trial, should he willing to bear a little longer the sorrows of the present world. What are all these compared with the glory that awaits us? Compare the Co1 15:58 note; Rom 8:18 note, following; Co2 4:16-18 notes.
That ye may be found of him in peace - Found by him when he returns in such a state as to secure your eternal peace.
Without spot, and blameless - See the notes at Eph 5:27. It should be an object of earnest effort with us to have the last stain of sin and pollution removed from our souls. A deep feeling that we are soon to stand in the presence of a holy God, our final Judge, cannot but have a happy influence in making us pure. |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Without spot and blameless
See on Pe2 2:13. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Labour that whenever he cometh ye may be found in peace - May meet him without terror, being sprinkled with his blood, and sanctified by his Spirit, so as to be without spot and blameless. Isa 65:17; Isa 66:22. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Seeing that ye look for such things - As ye profess that such a state of things shall take place, and have the expectation of enjoying the blessedness of it, be diligent in the use of every means and influence of grace, that ye may be found of him - the Lord Jesus, the Judge of quick and dead, without spot - any contagion of sin in your souls, and blameless - being not only holy and innocent, but useful in your lives. |
23 And [1161] the very [846] God [2316] of peace [1515] sanctify [37] you [5209] wholly [3651]; and [2532] I pray God your [5216] whole [3648] spirit [4151] and [2532] soul [5590] and [2532] body [4983] be preserved [5083] blameless [274] unto [1722] the coming [3952] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
13 To the end [1519] he may stablish [4741] your [5216] hearts [2588] unblameable [273] in [1722] holiness [42] before [1715] God [2316], even [2532] our [2257] Father [3962], at [1722] the coming [3952] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] with [3326] all [3956] his [846] saints [40].
10 That [1519] ye [5209] may approve [1381] things that are excellent [1308]; that [2443] ye may be [5600] sincere [1506] and [2532] without offence [677] till [1519] the day [2250] of Christ [5547];
8 Who [3739] shall [950] also [2532] confirm [950] you [5209] unto [2193] the end [5056], that ye may be blameless [410] in [1722] the day [2250] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
13 And shall receive [2865] the reward [3408] of unrighteousness [93], as they that count [2233] it pleasure [2237] to riot [5172] in [1722] the day time [2250]. Spots [4696] they are and [2532] blemishes [3470], sporting themselves [1792] with [1722] their own [846] deceivings [539] while they feast [4910] with you [5213];
27 That [2443] he might present [3936] it [846] to himself [1438] a glorious [1741] church [1577], not [3361] having [2192] spot [4696], or [2228] wrinkle [4512], or [2228] any [5100] such thing [5108]; but [235] that [2443] it should be [5600] holy [40] and [2532] without blemish [299].
16 For which cause [1352] we faint [1573] not [3756]; but [235] though [1499] our [2257] outward [1854] man [444] perish [1311], yet [235] the inward [2081] man is renewed [341] day [2250] by [2532] day [2250].
17 For [1063] our [2257] light [1645] affliction [2347], which [3588] is but for a moment [3910], worketh [2716] for us [2254] a far [2596] [5236] more exceeding [1519] [5236] and eternal [166] weight [922] of glory [1391];
18 While [4648] we [2257] look [4648] not [3361] at [4648] the things which are seen [991], but [235] at the things which are [991] not [3361] seen [991]: for [1063] the things which are seen [991] are temporal [4340]; but [1161] the things which are [991] not [3361] seen [991] are eternal [166].
18 For [1063] I reckon [3049] that [3754] the sufferings [3804] of this present [3568] time [2540] are not [3756] worthy [514] to be compared with [4314] the glory [1391] which shall [3195] be revealed [601] in [1519] us [2248].
58 Therefore [5620], my [3450] beloved [27] brethren [80], be ye [1096] stedfast [1476], unmoveable [277], always [3842] abounding [4052] in [1722] the work [2041] of the Lord [2962], forasmuch as ye know [1492] that [3754] your [5216] labour [2873] is [2076] not [3756] in vain [2756] in [1722] the Lord [2962].
13 And shall receive [2865] the reward [3408] of unrighteousness [93], as they that count [2233] it pleasure [2237] to riot [5172] in [1722] the day time [2250]. Spots [4696] they are and [2532] blemishes [3470], sporting themselves [1792] with [1722] their own [846] deceivings [539] while they feast [4910] with you [5213];
22 For as the new [02319] heavens [08064] and the new [02319] earth [0776], which I will make [06213], shall remain [05975] before [06440] me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], so shall your seed [02233] and your name [08034] remain [05975].
17 For, behold, I create [01254] new [02319] heavens [08064] and a new [02319] earth [0776]: and the former [07223] shall not be remembered [02142], nor come [05927] into mind [03820].
