1 Peter 1:13 — Community Reflections

1 PETER 1:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 1

“Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;”

Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed — the exhortation to 'gird up the loins of your mind' (anadēmata osphyn..noou, to prepare the mind as one readies for strenuous activity) calls for mental discipline and clarity (nēphalios, sober). The focus of hope is specifically eschatological: the grace (charis) revealed at Christ's appearing (apokalypsis).
