Vincent's Word Studies in the NT

2 Peter 1:11

Shall be ministered abundantly [π λ ο υ σ ι ω ς ε π ι χ ο ρ η γ η θ η σ ε τ α ι]. On the verb see ver. 5. Rev., shall be richly supplied. We are to furnish in our faith : the reward shall be furnished unto us. Richly, indicating the fulness of future blessedness. Professor Salmond observes that it is the reverse of "saved, yet so as by fire" (1 Corinthians 3:15).

Everlasting kingdom [α ι ω ν ι ο ν β α σ ι λ ε ι α ν]. In the first epistle, Peter designated the believer's future as an inheritance; here he calls it a kingdom. Eternal, as Rev., is better than everlasting, since the word includes more than duration of time.
