2 Peter 3:14

be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace The language, like that of 2 Peter 3:8, is that of one who still lives in the expectation that he and those to whom he writes may yet survive to witness the coming of the Lord. The hour of death has not yet taken the place in the Apostle's thoughts, as it has done since, of the day of that Coming. In the exhortation that men should be diligent (better, be earnest) to be found in peace at that day, we may trace an echo of our Lord's words, "Blessed is that servant, whom his Lord when he cometh shall find so doing" (Matthew 24:46). "Peace" is used in its widest Hebrew sense, as including every element of blessedness, peace with God, and therefore peace with man, the peace which Christ gives, not as the world gives (John 14:27), the peace which passes understanding (Philippians 4:7).

without spot, and blameless The words are nearly identical with those which describe the character of Christ as "a lamb without blemish and without spot" in 1 Peter 1:19, and their re-appearance is a fresh link in the chain of evidence as to identity of authorship. They who expect the coming of Christ should be like Him in their lives. The first of the two words may be noticed as used also by St James (James 1:27).
