2 Peter 1:11 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. An, х hee (G3588)] - 'the entrance' which ye look for. Ministered - the same verb as 2 Peter 1:5. Minister in your faith virtue and the other graces, so shall there be ministered to you the entrance into heaven, where these graces shine most brightly. The reward of grace hereafter shall correspond to the work of grace here.

Abundantly, х plousios (G4145)] - 'richly.' So "abound," 2 Peter 1:8. If these graces abound in you, you shall have your entrance into heaven, not merely, "scarcely" (as 1 Peter 4:18), nor "so as by fire" (1 Corinthians 3:15), like one escaping with life after having lost all his goods, but in triumph, without 'stumbling and falling.'

2 Peter 1:11
