SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:19
sino con la sangre preciosa del Cristo, como de un Cordero sin mancha y sin contaminacin,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 1:19
Verse 19. The precious blood of Christ] timiw aimati? The valuable blood; how valuable neither is nor could be stated. As of a lamb] Such as was required for a sin-offering to God; and THE Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.
Without blemish] In himself, and without spot from the world; being perfectly pure in his soul, and righteous in his life.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 19. But with the precious blood of Christ , etc.] Christ was prophesied of as a Redeemer under the Old Testament, ( Isaiah 59:20) and the Jews frequently ascribe redemption to the word of the Lord God f34 ; and which the apostle here attributes to the blood of Christ; whose blood is the same with ours, only not tainted with sin; the blood of an innocent person, and of one who is God, as well as man, and was freely shed in the room and stead of his people, and so a sufficient price for their redemption: and it may truly be said to be precious: as it is to God, to whom it is a sweet smelling sacrifice, and with which he is well pleased; not that he takes delight in the mere effusion of his blood, but as this is the ransom price, and the atonement of his chosen ones; and so it is to all them that believe, since by it they are justified; through it they have the forgiveness of their sins; their peace and reconciliation with God is made by it; and by it they are sanctified, and have boldness to enter into the holiest of all: and this blood of Christ, by which they are redeemed, is as of a lamb without spot and blemish ; Christ is comparable to any lamb, for the innocence of his nature, the meekness of his disposition and deportment, and for his patience under sufferings and in death; and to the lambs of the daily sacrifice, which were typical of the continual and constant virtue and efficacy of his sacrifice to take away sin; and particularly to the paschal lamb, he being the true passover sacrificed for us; and which, as also the lambs of the daily sacrifice, and all others, were to be without spot and blemish: and in which they prefigured Christ, who is without the stain of original, and the spot and blemish of actual sin; and so was a very fit person to be a sacrifice for sin, and a Redeemer of his people. The Jews have a notion, that the redemption of the Israelites out of Egypt, when a lamb without blemish was taken, and sacrificed and eaten, had a respect to the future redemption by the Messiah; and which, they say f35 , was to be in the same time of the year; that as they were redeemed in Nisan, the month in which the passover was kept, so they were to be redeemed in the same month: and indeed at that time, and in that month, was redemption obtained by the blood of Christ. Of the former, the Targumist in ( Hosea 3:2) says, I have redeemed them by my word, on the fifteenth day of the month Nisan, and have given silver shekels, the atonement of their souls.
It is observable that the Hebrew word d signifies both blood and money, or price; whether some reference may not be had to this here, since both are included here, may be considered.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17-25 - Holy confidence in God as a Father, and awful fear of him as a Judge agree together; and to regard God always as a Judge, makes him dear to us as a Father. If believers do evil, God will visit them with corrections. Then, let Christians not doubt God's faithfulness to his promises, nor give way to enslaving dread of his wrath, but let the reverence his holiness. The fearless professor is defenceless, an Satan takes him captive at his will; the desponding professor has n heart to avail himself of his advantages, and is easily brought to surrender. The price paid for man's redemption was the precious bloo of Christ. Not only openly wicked, but unprofitable conversation i highly dangerous, though it may plead custom. It is folly to resolve, will live and die in such a way, because my forefathers did so. God ha purposes of special favour toward his people, long before he mad manifest such grace unto them. But the clearness of light, the support of faith, the power of ordinances, are all much greater since Chris came upon earth, than they were before. The comfort is, that being by faith made one with Christ, his present glory is an assurance tha where he is we shall be also, Joh 14:3. The soul must be purified before it can give up its own desires and indulgences. And the word of God planted in the heart by the Holy Ghost, is a means of spiritual life, stirring up to our duty, working a total change in the dispositions and affections of the soul, till it brings to eterna life. In contrast with the excellence of the renewed spiritual man, a born again, observe the vanity of the natural man. In his life, and in his fall, he is like grass, the flower of grass, which soon withers an dies away. We should hear, and thus receive and love, the holy, livin word, and rather hazard all than lose it; and we must banish all othe things from the place due to it. We should lodge it in our hearts a our only treasures here, and the certain pledge of the treasure of glory laid up for believers in heaven __________________________________________________________________
