2 Peter3:11
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness ?
Seeing the coming of the Lord will be so terrible, as to bring with it the Consumption of the World, and the Destruction of these things here below, upon which we are so apt to set our Affections.
How prudent, accurate, diligent, zealous, and every way excellent Persons. The Greek word is often used by way of Admiration of some singular Excellency in Persons, or Things, Matth. 8.27. and Mark 13.1. Luke 1.29.
The words in the Greek are both in the Plural Number, and may imply not only a continued course of holy walking throughout our whole time, but likewise Diligence in the performance of all sorts of Duties, and Exercise of all those various Graces wherewith the Spirit of God furnisheth Believers in order thereto.
