This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

But with the precious blood of Christ

The word Χριστοῦ, of Christ, stands at the end of the sentence, and is emphatic. Render, as Rev., with precious blood as of a lamb, etc., even the blood of Christ.

Lamb

Peculiarly appropriate from Peter. See Joh 1:35-42. The reference is to a sacrificial lamb.

Without blemish (ἀμώμου)

Representing the Old-Testament phrase for absence of physical defect (Exo 12:5; Lev 22:20, Compare Heb 9:14).

Without spot (ἀσπίλου)

Compare 1Ti 6:14; Jam 1:27; 2Pe 3:14. In each case in a moral sense.
