Commentary

Commentary on 1 Peter 2:17

Theological / Devotional

Honour all. That is, whatever their official position may be. Each is to be respected, not necessarily for the man he is, but in view of his office.

Love. Or, “keep on loving.” The same sense of continuity is used with “fear” and “honour,” stressing the consistency of the Christian attitude, which puts ignorant men to silence (v. 15).

The brotherhood. That is, of believers in Christ.

Fear God. See on Ps. 19:9.

The king. See on v. 13.
