Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Peter 4:6

1 Peter 4:6. For for this cause Or to this end; was the gospel preached Ever since it was intimated to Adam, in the promise made to him after the fall, that the seed of the woman should bruise the serpent’s head; to them that are dead Who have died in their several generations, and especially to our forefathers, the descendants of Abraham, and the other patriarchs, by Moses and the prophets; that they might be judged according to men in the flesh Or, that though they were judged in... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Peter 4:7

1 Peter 4:7. The end of all things is at hand Of our mortal lives, and of all the joys and sorrows, goods and evils connected therewith, and so of all your wrongs and sufferings. Many commentators indeed understand St. Peter as speaking only of the end of the Jewish commonwealth, city, temple, and worship. Thus Whitby understands him: “This phrase, and the advice upon it, so exactly parallel to what our Lord had spoken, will not suffer us to doubt that the apostle is here speaking, not of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 4:1-11

Changed lives of Christ’s followers (4:1-11)Christ’s death dealt with sin once and for all. In that sense he has nothing more to do with sin. Christians are united with Christ in his death, and therefore they too should have nothing more to do with sin. They should live no longer to please themselves but to please God (4:1-2). Christians must have no more involvement with the disgusting practices of their former days, no matter how much their reformed behaviour brings jeers and insults from... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Peter 4:6

For unto this end was the gospel preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.To this end ... has the effect of "with the final judgment in view."Was the gospel preached even to the dead ... "The dead" here are exactly the same as the dead in the previous verse, all who had lived on earth and had died previously from the time of Peter's words, there being, it seems, a particular reference to Christians who had... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Peter 4:7

But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore of sound mind, and be sober unto prayer:DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEMSuch a verse as this, along with many others similar to it, is a problem to some people. "The night is far spent, the day is at hand" (Romans 13:12), "The Lord is at hand" (Philippians 4:5), "The coming of the Lord is at hand" (James 5:8), "It is the last hour" (1 John 2:18), "The time is near" (Revelation 1:3). What is actually meant by all such expressions in the New... read more

1 Peter 4:6. For, for this cause was the gospel preached, &c.— "For this is the end for which the gospel was preached to those believers, who are now the dead in Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:16.), as well as to those who are still living upon earth, that they, by a divine power attending it, being thoroughly mortified and dead to their former inclinations and courses of life, might be eventually censured and condemned, and even put to death, for their novel and unsociable principles and... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Peter 4:7

1 Peter 4:7. But the end of all things is at hand:— That is, of all things relating to the Jewish temple, city, and nation:—an event, which so strongly corroborated the prophecies, and was on many accounts so alarming in itself, and so confirmatory of the Christian religion, that we cannot wonder the sacred writers dwell so often upon it. In opposition to the fleshly lusts of the Heathens, hinted at 1Pe 4:6 and mentioned expressly, 1Pe 4:2-4 the Christians are exhorted to be sober, or... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 4:6

6. For—giving the reason for 1 Peter 4:5, "judge the dead." gospel preached also to . . . dead—as well as to them now living, and to them that shall be found alive at the coming of the Judge. "Dead" must be taken in the same literal sense as in 1 Peter 4:5- :, which refutes the explanation "dead" in sins. Moreover, the absence of the Greek article does not necessarily restrict the sense of "dead" to particular dead persons, for there is no Greek article in 1 Peter 4:5- : also, where "the dead"... read more
