Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
I Peter 1:24-25 Quotation from Isaiah 40:6-8 (partly like the LXX, partly like the Hebrew).
For (dioti). As in verse I Peter 1:16 (dia and oti), "for that." So in I Peter 2:6. See a free use of this imagery about the life of man as grass and a flower in James 1:11. The best MSS. here read authv (thereof) after doca (glory) rather than anqrwpou (of man).
Withereth (echranqh). First aorist (gnomic, timeless) passive indicative of chrainw (see James 1:11).
Falleth (ecepesen). Second aorist (gnomic, timeless) active indicative of ekpiptw (see James 1:11). In verse I Peter 1:25 note eiv umav (unto you) like eiv umav in I Peter 1:4 (umin dative).
