“a person who is becoming like Christ in gentleness and humility” (source)
“But we should also note that Peter has talked here about obedience. When God chooses people, He chooses them not just for privilege to be His people with all the blessings that come from that; He also chooses them with a purpose and a responsibility. So here, Peter emphasizes that these whom God has chosen are chosen to obey Christ Jesus; they are destined for that purpose and need to be living that out in their lives, and of course Peter is going to be elaborating just what that looks like throughout the letter.” (source)
“The Spirit, as we know, is often called the Holy Spirit in Scripture, identifying His ministry as particularly involving the making holy or sanctifying of the people of God. Holiness and sanctification are very closely related words in terms of the Greek they translate.” (source)
“both to flourish in their Christian lives as they encourage each other in their growth in Christ.” (source)

Dr. Douglas J. Moo, professor of New Testament, teaches at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois. For over twenty years, his ministry was based at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois. His academic interests revolve around the interface of exegesis and theology.
Dr. Moo seeks to model to students a rigorous approach to the Greek text that always asks the “so what” questions of ultimate significance and application. The Pauline and General Letters have been his special focus within the NT canon. In the next few years, he will be writing commentaries on Galatians and Hebrews, a Pauline theology, and a theological and practical book on creation care.
He has also been active in his local church, serving as elder most years, teaching and preaching to the church, and conducting home Bible studies. Also very rewarding has been his service on the Committee on Bible Translation, the group of scholars charged with revising the text of the NIV and with producing the TNIV.
He and his wife, Jenny, have five grown children.
