Manifold Grace 1 Peter 4:10 The whole verse reads thus, 'Let every man that has received the gift even so minister the same one to another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God'. What is 'manifold'? Many? No. The word 'many' would be misleading, though it does enter into the larger and truer interpretation of the term. Manifold in this case means variegated, many in colour and light and bloom and beauty. Manifold is not in this relation a question of quantity or quality, but of... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 4:1-6

Chapter 12 THE LESSONS OF SUFFERING1 Peter 4:1-6IT is always hard to swim against the stream; and if the effort be a moral one, the difficulty is not lessened. These early Christians were finding it so. For them there must have existed hardships of which today we can have no experience, and form but an imperfect estimate. If they lived among a Jewish population, these were sure to be offended at the new faith. And when we remember the zeal for persecution of a Saul of Tarsus, we can see that in... read more

Chapter 13 CHRISTIAN SERVICE FOR GOD’S GLORY1 Peter 4:7-11"BUT the end of all things is at hand." Well-nigh two thousand years have passed away since the Apostle wrote these words. What are we to think of the teaching they convey? For it is not St. Peter’s teaching only. Those who labored with him were all of the same mind; all gave the same note of warning to their converts. St. Paul exhorts the Philippians, "Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand"; {Philippians 4:5}... read more

IV. THE COMFORT IN THE MIDST OF TRIALS AND SUFFERING CHAPTER 3:10-4:19 1. The comfort in suffering (1 Peter 3:10-17 ) 2. Few saved as illustrated by Noah’s preaching (1 Peter 3:18-22 ) 3. The new life in its transforming power (1 Peter 4:1-11 ) 4. Suffering and glory (1 Peter 4:12-19 ) 1 Peter 3:10-17 The words which stand in the beginning of this section are quoted from Psalms 34:12-16 . It is interesting to note that the Spirit of God quotes from the three main divisions of the Hebrew... read more

Geneva Study Bible - 1 Peter 4:6

4:6 {4} For this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.(4) A digression because he made mention of the last general judgement. He prevents an objection, that, seeing Christ came very lately, they may seem to be excusable who died before. But this the apostle denies: for (faith he) this same gospel was preached to them also (for he speaks to the Jews) and that to the same end that... read more

4:7 {5} But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.(5) He returns to his purpose, using an argument taken from the circumstance of the time. Because the last end is at hand, and therefore we must much more diligently watch and pray, with true sobriety of mind. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 4:1-19

Christ's suffering in the flesh is set before us then as an example; not His sufferings for us in atonement, which were His alone, but His sufferings in a contrary world, in precious, lowly grace. We are to arm ourselves with the same mind, which at least means a studious, decisive preparedness to willingly suffer wrong. To suffer in the flesh involves the refusal of sin's enticements, and hence ceasing from sin, the decision of heart to no longer live as subject to natural lusts, but rather... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 4:1-6

OBLIGATIONS OF HOPE OUTWARD The writer had dropped his pen, but takes it up again at 1 Peter 2:11 . To “abstain from fleshy lusts that war against the soul,” is limited and defined in the next verse. The pagans round about were speaking against the Christians as evildoers. Their increasing numbers were emptying the Pagan temples, and threatening in so doing, not only the Pagan religion but the state itself, for the Romans worshipped the state in the person of the emperor, and at this time... read more

OBLIGATIONS OF HOPE INWARD HOSPITALITY (1 Peter 4:7-11 ) by which we understand spiritual rather than physical hospitality, though the latter need not be excluded from the thought. 1 Peter 4:10-11 for example, suggest 1 Corinthians 12:0 ; Romans 12:3-8 ; Ephesians 4:7-16 , etc., in which Paul is teaching the duty of the members of the Body of Christ to minister to one another of their spiritual gifts without judging. PATIENCE (1 Peter 4:12-19 ) 1 Peter 4:12 shows that the opposition to the... read more

Peccadilloes 1Pe 4:15 This text is not much by itself. I do not select it except as indicating a class of texts full of practical meaning. We are here invited to consider what may be called, for want of a simpler word, peccadilloes or little sins. We are not exhorted against great crimes only, as murder, drunkenness, theft, and the like; all these are the subject of apostolic comment: but we are also exhorted to be on our guard against the little foxes that spoil the grapes. Many a man is... read more
