Theological / Devotional

Soul. Gr. psuche (see on Matt. 10:28; cf. Acts 2:41).

Shall be destroyed. The OT passage (Deut. 18:19) that Peter quotes loosely reads at this point, “I will require it of him.” The words Peter substitutes echo the familiar OT phrase, “that man shall be cut off from among his people” (see Lev. 17:4, 9; cf. Ex. 12:15,19).
