A Practical Commentary Upon The First Epistle Of St. Peter by Robert Leighton. This seventeenth-century Puritan-style expository commentary (Part 2 of 4) on 1 Peter surveys the Christian’s experience of suffering for righteousness, conscience, and steadfast faith. Leighton urges believers to endure persecution with meekness and reverence toward God, maintaining a good conscience that can shame false accusers. He treats baptism as more than outward cleansing, presenting it as the inward washing of the conscience and participation in Christ’s death and resurrection, while grounding hope in forgiveness and reconciliation won through Christ’s merits. The argument threads through Noah and the ark as a typology of salvation by faith, the Spirit’s preaching across ages to spirits in prison, and Christ’s exaltation as Lord over all. Practical outcomes urged for believers include enduring suffering with the mind of Christ, pursuing holiness, and imitating Christ’s mindset in preparation for further instruction in Chapter 4. The work aims at pastoral guidance for church members, elders, and ministers, shaping Christian living under trial by inward grace.
