2 Peter 1
1. Peter confirms the hope of the increase of God's grace,
5. exhorts them, by faith, and good works, to make their calling sure;
12. whereof he is careful to remind them, knowing that his death is at hand;
16. and assures them of the authenticity of the Gospel, by the eyewitness of the apostles and the prophets.














and you will receive
The phrase "and you will receive" suggests a future promise contingent upon the actions and faith of the believer. The Greek word used here is "epichorēgēthēsetai," which implies a generous provision or supply. This reflects the abundant grace and blessings that God bestows upon those who are faithful. In the context of 2 Peter, it emphasizes the assurance of God's promises to those who diligently pursue a life of godliness and virtue.

a lavish reception
The term "lavish reception" is translated from the Greek word "plousios," meaning richly or abundantly. This phrase paints a picture of an extravagant welcome, akin to a royal or celebratory entrance. Historically, such receptions were reserved for dignitaries or victorious athletes returning home. In the Christian context, it signifies the honor and joy awaiting believers in the afterlife, underscoring the value God places on a life lived in faith and righteousness.

into the eternal kingdom
"Into the eternal kingdom" refers to the everlasting reign of God, a central theme in Christian eschatology. The Greek word "basileia" denotes a realm or dominion, and "aiōnios" signifies eternal or everlasting. This phrase assures believers of their place in God's unending kingdom, a promise rooted in the teachings of Jesus about the Kingdom of Heaven. It highlights the ultimate goal of the Christian journey: to dwell forever in God's presence.

of our Lord and Savior
The phrase "of our Lord and Savior" identifies Jesus Christ as both sovereign and redeemer. The Greek words "Kyrios" (Lord) and "Sōtēr" (Savior) reflect His authority and His role in salvation. This dual title emphasizes the comprehensive nature of Christ's work—He is both the ruler of the kingdom and the one who provides the means for entry through His sacrificial death and resurrection. It calls believers to recognize His lordship and trust in His saving grace.

Jesus Christ
"Jesus Christ" is the central figure of the Christian faith. "Jesus" is derived from the Hebrew "Yeshua," meaning "Yahweh is salvation," while "Christ" comes from the Greek "Christos," meaning "Anointed One," equivalent to the Hebrew "Messiah." This name encapsulates His mission and identity as the promised deliverer. In the context of 2 Peter, it reaffirms the foundation of the believer's hope and the source of the promised eternal kingdom. It is a call to remain steadfast in faith, looking to Jesus as the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises.

(11) An entrance shall be ministered unto you.--"Ministered" is the passive of the same verb that is translated "add" in 2Peter 1:5, and is probably chosen to answer to 2Peter 1:5. "Supply these graces, and an entrance into the kingdom shall be abundantly supplied to you"--"abundantly," i.e., with a warm welcome, as to a son coming home in triumph; not a bare grudging admission, as to a stranger.

Thus ends the first main section of the Epistle, which contains the substance of the whole. Its gentle earnestness and obvious harmony with the First Epistle have made some critics ready to admit its genuineness, who throw doubt on much of the rest. But if it stands it carries with it all the rest. Change of style is amply accounted for by change to a new and exciting subject; and the links between the parts are too strong to be severed by any such considerations. (See opening observations in the Introduction.)

The first sections of the two Epistles should be carefully compared. In both we find these thoughts pervading the opening exhortation: Be earnest, be active; for (1) so much has been done for you, and (2) there is such a rich reward in store for you. (Comp. especially the conclusions of the two sections, 1Peter 1:13 with 2Peter 1:10-11.)

Verse 11. - For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly; rather, as in the Revised Version, for thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance. The verb ἐπ῞ιχορηγηθήσεται looks back to ἐπιχορηγήσατε in verse 5, and "richly" to "abound" in verse 8. If we do our poor best in supplying the graces mentioned above, the entrance shall be richly supplied. St. Peter seems to imply that there will be degrees of glory hereafter proportioned to our faithfulness in the use of God's gifts here. The adverb "richly" is fitly joined with the verb ἐπιχορηγεῖν, which signifies properly to provide the expenses for a chorus. The article defines the entrance as the great object of the Christian's hope. Into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; rather, the eternal kingdom. Notice the exact correspondence of the Greek words here, τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν καὶ Σωτῆρος Ἰησοῦ Ξριστοῦ, with these in verse 2, τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν καὶ Σωτῆρος Ἰησοῦ Ξριστοῦ, as a strong argument in favour of the translation, "Our God and Saviour Jesus Christ," in that verse.
