Vincent's Word Studies in the NT

1 Peter 2:11

Beloved [α γ α π η τ ο ι]. A favorite term with Peter, occurring eight times in the epistles. See the phrase, our beloved Barnabas and Paul, Acts 14:25, in the letter sent by the council at Jerusalem to the Gentile Christians, the account of which, doubtless, came from Peter. Compare our beloved brother Paul, 2 Peter 3:15.

Strangers [π α ρ ο ι κ ο υ ς]. Rev., sojourners. Compare ch. 1 17, "the time of your sojourning [π α ρ ο ι κ ι α ς]."

Which [α ι τ ι ν ε ς]. The compound pronoun denotes a class, of that kind which, classifying all fleshly desires in one category.
