1 Peter 2:12 - Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

1 Peter 2:12. day of visitation: a phrase derived from OT (Isaiah 10:3), but its meaning is not quite clear in this passage. It may mean (1) the final judgment day, which fills so large a place in the mind of NT writers, (2) the day of trial before the magistrates, or (3) the day when the Gentiles themselves are convinced of the truth of the faith. The last seems most likely.

1 Peter 2:12

12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereasc they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
