This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Godly (εὐσεβεῖς)
Used by Peter only. Compare Act 10:2, Act 10:7. The reading at Act 22:12, is εὐλαβηÌÏ‚, devout. See on 2Pe 1:3.
Temptation (πειÏασμοῦ)
See on 1Pe 1:6.
To reserve (τηÏεῖν)
See on 1Pe 1:4. Rev., keep, is not an improvement.
To be punished (κολαζομεÌνους)
Only here and Act 4:21, where the narrative probably came from Peter. The participle here is, lit., being punished, and therefore the A. V. is wrong. Rev., rightly, under punishment. Compare Mat 25:46.
