This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

1Pe 1:13. Διὸ, wherefore) An exhortation is now derived from those things which have been said.-ἀναζωσάμενοι, girding up) to collect the strength. Comp. the expression, to stir up, 2Pe 1:13.-τὰς ὀσφύας, the loins) A similar phrase occurs, Job 38:3.-νήφοντες) sober: ch. 1Pe 5:8.-τελείως ἐλπίσατε, hope [Engl. Vers. “to the end”], hope perfectly) have that hope which may grasp the end (τέλος) placed before it, 1Pe 1:9. Hope is repeated from 1Pe 1:3.-φερομένην) which is afforded and held forth. The same word is used, Heb 9:16. Grace is given to us in perfect measure, and with that our hope ought perfectly to correspond. They are correlatives.-ἐν ἀποκαλύψει, at the revelation) There is but one revelation, which takes place through the whole time of the New Testament, by the two appearances of Christ: Tit 2:11; Tit 2:13.
