tense and subjunctive mode. Tenses in <strong>the</strong> subjunctive mood are determined by <strong>the</strong><br />

context of <strong>the</strong> verse, although <strong>the</strong>y also have a future orientation. The context of this<br />

verse is <strong>the</strong> sober, righteous and godly life of good works that God calls his own<br />

peculiar people to in this present world after <strong>the</strong>y have been cleansed from <strong>the</strong> guilt,<br />

wickedness and defilement of sin through faith in <strong>the</strong> blood of Christ. Upon <strong>the</strong> future<br />

glorious appearing of <strong>the</strong> Lord, his own people will be changed from <strong>the</strong>ir corruptible,<br />

mortal earthly form to an incorruptible, immortal heavenly form. (Ephesians 1:3-14; 1<br />

Corinthians 15:49-53)<br />

2. Peculiar<br />

A people selected by God from <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r nations for his own possession. The church<br />

is God‘s private property so to speak.<br />

3. Redeemed (lutroo) from all iniquity<br />

Lutroo is also an aorist tense in <strong>the</strong> subjunctive mood meaning in context that <strong>the</strong><br />

believer is redeemed from wickedness, contempt and violation of God’s law while<br />

alive in this present world by <strong>the</strong> ransom payment of Jesus Christ’s substitutionary<br />

death. (1 Peter 1:13-23)<br />

4. Zealous (eagerly desiring of and contending for) of good (beautiful by reason of purity of heart<br />

and life, and hence praiseworthy) works (business, employment, that which any one is occupied.<br />

James 2:14-17)<br />

5. Denying (one’s self) ungodliness (irreverence for God’s holy character such as would be<br />

indicated by disobeying his commands) and worldly (having <strong>the</strong> character of <strong>the</strong> present corrupt<br />

earthly age) lusts (cravings and longings especially for things forbidden by God . James 1:27)<br />

6. Living soberly in this present world (temperate and self controlled as opposed to<br />

excessive and self indulgent. Possessing a calm, patient, sound mind as opposed to an impatient,<br />

violent mind)<br />

7. Living righteously (honestly conforming to <strong>the</strong> truth of God’s word. Romans 12:9; Ephesians<br />

5:3-12)<br />

8. Living godly (piously reverencing God and obeying his commands in all areas of<br />

Life. 1 John 2:3)
