• Soul and spirit however are so closely joined, that but one of the two generally is named, as here. Only the one which is named in scripture, though not excluding the other, is always strictly correct and has its proper force. (“1 Peter 1:22” by W. Kelly)

• the call to love one another is manifestly grounded on the assurance that they had purified their souls already; which involves the responsibility of continual consistency with this state of purity, and of self-judgment in case of failure. It is the regular Christian standing, which may be varied in the form of expression; but it meets us substantially in every apostolic Epistle. (“1 Peter 1:22” by W. Kelly)

• "Obedience to the truth" is but another and fuller way of expressing their faith. To have a solid and divine character there must be subjection to the truth. (“1 Peter 1:22” by W. Kelly)

• This places us in the most intimate of relationships with the rest of the redeemed: objects of the same love, washed by the same precious blood, redeemed by the same Lamb, they become-to those whose hearts are purified by the reception of the truth through the Spirit-the objects of a tender brotherly love, a love unfeigned. (“1 Peter 1” by J.N. Darby)

a

The most ancient and best MSS. do not read "through the Spirit"; the Latins strangely giving "of love," instead of "the truth" which is certainly right.

b

A few MSS. omit "pure" on feeble basis.
