Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
Faithful--to His covenant promises (Joh 10:27-29; Co1 1:9; Co1 10:23; Phi 1:6).
he that calleth you--God, the caller of His people, will cause His calling not to fall short of its designed end.
do it--preserve and present you blameless at the coming of Christ (Th1 5:23; Rom 8:30; Pe1 5:10). You must not look at the foes before and behind, on the right hand and on the left, but to God's faithfulness to His promises, God's zeal for His honor, and God's love for those whom He calls. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Faithful is he that calleth you - That is, your sanctification after all depends on him, and as he has begun a work of grace in your hearts, you may depend on his faithfulness to complete it; see the Th1 4:3 note; Phi 1:6 note; Co1 1:9 note. |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Faithful (πιστὸς)
Comp. Ti2 2:13, and see on Jo1 1:9; see on Rev 1:5; see on Rev 3:14.
That calleth (ὁ καλῶν)
= the caller. The emphasis is on the person rather than on the act. Comp. Rom 9:11; Gal 1:6, Gal 1:15; Gal 5:8; Th1 2:12; Pe1 5:10; Jam 1:5. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Who also will do it - Unless you quench the Spirit. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Faithful is he that calleth you - In a great variety of places in his word God has promised to sanctify his followers, and his faithfulness binds him to fulfill his promises; therefore he will do it. He who can believe will find this thing also possible to him. |
10 But [1161] the God [2316] of all [3956] grace [5485], who [3588] hath called [2564] us [2248] unto [1519] his [846] eternal [166] glory [1391] by [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424], after that ye have suffered [3958] a while [3641], [846] make [2675] you [5209] perfect [2675], stablish [4741], strengthen [4599], settle [2311] you.
30 Moreover [1161] whom [3739] he did predestinate [4309], them [5128] he [2564] also [2532] called [2564]: and [2532] whom [3739] he called [2564], them [5128] he [1344] also [2532] justified [1344]: and [1161] whom [3739] he justified [1344], them [5128] he [1392] also [2532] glorified [1392].
23 And [1161] the very [846] God [2316] of peace [1515] sanctify [37] you [5209] wholly [3651]; and [2532] I pray God your [5216] whole [3648] spirit [4151] and [2532] soul [5590] and [2532] body [4983] be preserved [5083] blameless [274] unto [1722] the coming [3952] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
6 Being confident [3982] of this [5124] very thing [846], that [3754] he which hath begun [1728] a good [18] work [2041] in [1722] you [5213] will perform [2005] it until [891] the day [2250] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]:
23 All things [3956] are lawful [1832] for me [3427], but [235] all things [3956] are [4851] not [3756] expedient [4851]: all things [3956] are lawful [1832] for me [3427], but [235] all things [3956] edify [3618] not [3756].
9 God [2316] is faithful [4103], by [1223] whom [3739] ye were called [2564] unto [1519] the fellowship [2842] of his [846] Son [5207] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Lord [2962].
27 My [1699] sheep [4263] hear [191] my [3450] voice [5456], and I [2504] know [1097] them [846], and [2532] they follow [190] me [3427]:
28 And I [2504] give [1325] unto them [846] eternal [166] life [2222]; and [2532] they shall [622] never [3364] [1519] [165] perish [622], neither [2532] [3756] shall [726] any [5100] man pluck [726] them [846] out of [1537] my [3450] hand [5495].
29 My [3450] Father [3962], which [3739] gave [1325] them me [3427], is [2076] greater than [3187] all [3956]; and [2532] no [3762] man is able [1410] to pluck [726] them out of [1537] my [3450] Father's [3962] hand [5495].
9 God [2316] is faithful [4103], by [1223] whom [3739] ye were called [2564] unto [1519] the fellowship [2842] of his [846] Son [5207] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Lord [2962].
6 Being confident [3982] of this [5124] very thing [846], that [3754] he which hath begun [1728] a good [18] work [2041] in [1722] you [5213] will perform [2005] it until [891] the day [2250] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]:
3 For [1063] this [5124] is [2076] the will [2307] of God [2316], even your [5216] sanctification [38], that ye [5209] should abstain [567] from [575] fornication [4202]:
5 [1161] If any [1536] of you [5216] lack [3007] wisdom [4678], let him ask [154] of [3844] God [2316], that giveth [1325] to all [3956] men liberally [574], and [2532] upbraideth [3679] not [3361]; and [2532] it shall be given [1325] him [846].
10 But [1161] the God [2316] of all [3956] grace [5485], who [3588] hath called [2564] us [2248] unto [1519] his [846] eternal [166] glory [1391] by [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424], after that ye have suffered [3958] a while [3641], [846] make [2675] you [5209] perfect [2675], stablish [4741], strengthen [4599], settle [2311] you.
12 [2532] That [1519] ye [5209] would walk [4043] worthy [516] of God [2316], who hath called [2564] you [5209] unto [1519] his [1438] kingdom [932] and [2532] glory [1391].
8 This persuasion [3988] cometh not [3756] of [1537] him that calleth [2564] you [5209].
15 But [1161] when [3753] it pleased [2106] God [2316], who [3588] separated [873] me [3165] from [1537] my [3450] mother's [3384] womb [2836], and [2532] called [2564] me by [1223] his [846] grace [5485],
6 I marvel [2296] that [3754] ye are [3346] so [3779] soon [5030] removed [3346] from [575] him that called [2564] you [5209] into [1722] the grace [5485] of Christ [5547] unto [1519] another [2087] gospel [2098]:
11 (For [1063] the children being [1080] not yet [3380] born [1080], neither [3366] having done [4238] any [5100] good [18] or [2228] evil [2556], that [2443] the purpose [4286] of God [2316] according [2596] to election [1589] might stand [3306], not [3756] of [1537] works [2041], but [235] of [1537] him that calleth [2564]
14 And [2532] unto the angel [32] of the church [1577] of the Laodiceans [2994] write [1125]; These things [3592] saith [3004] the Amen [281], the faithful [4103] and [2532] true [228] witness [3144], the beginning [746] of the creation [2937] of God [2316];
5 And [2532] from [575] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], who is the faithful [4103] witness [3144], and the first begotten [4416] of [1537] the dead [3498], and [2532] the prince [758] of the kings [935] of the earth [1093]. Unto him that loved [25] us [2248], and [2532] washed [3068] us [2248] from [575] our [2257] sins [266] in [1722] his own [846] blood [129],
9 If [1437] we confess [3670] our [2257] sins [266], he is [2076] faithful [4103] and [2532] just [1342] to [2443] forgive [863] us [2254] our sins [266], and [2532] to cleanse [2511] us [2248] from [575] all [3956] unrighteousness [93].
13 If [1487] we believe not [569], yet he [1565] abideth [3306] faithful [4103]: he cannot [3756] [1410] deny [720] himself [1438].
