Nota de Estudo

Study Note

The greeting's description of Simeon Peter as 'a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ' to those 'who have obtained a faith of equal standing (isotimos) with ours through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ' makes the remarkable claim that all believers, not only apostles, share equally in the salvific privilege of faith. The phrase 'our God and Savior Jesus Christ' (tou theou hēmōn kai sōtēros Iēsou Christou) is grammatically unified by the single article, leading most commentators to read it as a direct attribution of full divinity to Jesus — the Granville Sharp rule. The term 'isotimos' (equally honored/valued) challenges any hierarchical stratification of Christian standing and grounds the egalitarianism of the new community in the divine act of justification, not human merit. Second Peter's opening thus combines high Christology with the radical leveling of salvific privilege.
