Theodoret of Cyrus · Comentário Patrístico (catena)

1 Pedro 2:5

This is how Peter describes the way in which those who have been accepted by God are integrated into the church. It is by sharing a common origin, and by being in harmony with one another, by thinking and by saying the same things, by having the same mind and the same thoughts, that we are built into one house for the Lord. — CATENA

1 Pedro 2:22

Christ was nailed to the cross, paying the penalty not for his own sins but paying the debt of our nature. For our nature was in debt after transgressing the laws of its maker. And since it was in debt and unable to pay, the creator himself in his wisdom devised a way of paying the debt. By taking a human body as capital, he invested it wisely and justly in paying the debt and thereby freeing human nature. — ON DIVINE PROVIDENCE 10.26

1 Pedro 2:24

This is a new and strange kind of healing. For in this case it is the doctor who receives the honor but the patient who is healed. — CATENA
