1 Peter 5:7 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Casting - once for all х epiripsantes (G1977), aorist].

Care, х merimnan (G3308)] - 'anxiety;' advantage from humbling ourselves under God's hand (1 Peter 5:6), confident reliance on His goodness, and exemption from care.

Careth for you, х peri (G4012)] - 'respecting you.' Care is a burden which faith casts off the man on his God. Compare Psalms 22:10; Psalms 37:5; Psalms 55:22; Philippians 4:6. "Careth" х melei (G3199)] - not so strong as the previous 'anxiety.'
