Nota de Estudo

Study Note

Peter's portrait of Christ's non-retaliatory suffering — 'when he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly' — is drawn from the Servant Songs of Isaiah (52:13-53:12). The participial phrase 'entrusting himself to him who judges justly' names the theological mechanism: the power not to retaliate is grounded in confidence in God's ultimate justice. Peter deploys this Christological example in the context of enslaved believers (2:18-25), presenting Christ's pattern as simultaneously exemplary and redemptive. The verse has anchored Christian ethics of nonviolence and patience under unjust suffering across diverse historical and social contexts.
