2 Peter 3:14 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. — Rather, Be found spotless and blameless in His sight. “Be found of Him,” i.e., “by Him” (comp. 2 Peter 2:19), cannot stand; the construction is parallel to “be found unto you” (2 Corinthians 12:20), i.e., “in your judgment,” or “in your sight.” The pair of epithets, “spotless and blameless,” should be noticed as coinciding with 1 Peter 1:19, and also as forming a marked contrast to the false teachers, who are called “spots and blemishes” (2 Peter 2:13). “In peace” cannot well refer to differences between Jewish and Gentile Christians, a subject quite foreign to this Epistle. It may possibly refer to the false teachers and the discord caused by them; but more probably it has no special reference. It expresses at once the condition and the consequence of being “spotless and blameless.” “There is no peace, saith my God, for the wicked.”
