Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 14. - Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things; rather, these things, the coming of the Lord, the restitution of all things, the new heavens and the new earth. Be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless; literally, give diligence (or, be earnest - the same word which is used in 2 Peter 1:10) to be found without spot and blameless in his sight in peace. Christians who look for the coming of Christ must earnestly strive to imitate their Lord, the "Lamb without blemish and without spot." In the word ἄσπιλοι, "without spot," we have a link with 1 Peter 1:19. The word for "blameless" (ἀμώμητοι) is found elsewhere only in Philippians 2:15. The dative αὐτῷ should be rendered, not "of him" or "by him," but "in his sight" or "before him." Peace is used in its fullest sense - peace with God and with man; the peace which Christ giveth; "the peace of God, which passeth all understanding." "In peace" was a common inscription on Christian graves.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(14) 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. 2Peter 2:19), cannot stand; the construction is parallel to "be found unto you" (2Corinthians 12:20), i.e., "in your judgment," or "in your sight." The pair of epithets, "spotless and blameless," should be noticed as coinciding with 1Peter 1:19, and also as forming a marked contrast to the false teachers, who are called "spots and blemishes" (2Peter 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."
