Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Peter 4:1-11

Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; (2) That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. (3) For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: (4) Wherein they... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 4:1-6

1-6 The strongest and best arguments against sin, are taken from the sufferings of Christ. He died to destroy sin; and though he cheerfully submitted to the worst sufferings, yet he never gave way to the least sin. Temptations could not prevail, were it not for man's own corruption; but true Christians make the will of God, not their own lust or desires, the rule of their lives and actions. And true conversion makes a marvellous change in the heart and life. It alters the mind, judgment,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 4:7-11

7-11 The destruction of the Jewish church and nation, foretold by our Saviour, was very near. And the speedy approach of death and judgment concerns all, to which these words naturally lead our minds. Our approaching end, is a powerful argument to make us sober in all worldly matters, and earnest in religion. There are so many things amiss in all, that unless love covers, excuses, and forgives in others, the mistakes and faults for which every one needs the forbearance of others, Satan will... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 1 Peter 4:1-99

1Pet 4 THOSE OF YOU who have carefully followed our Scripture Portion thus far, have possibly noticed that the thought of suffering, both for Christ Himself and for His followers, has been very prominent from 1Pe_2:11 , where we started the practical and hortatory part of the epistle. That suffering must be expected by the Christian is very clear. His life is to be one of well doing, but he may suffer for doing well ( 1Pe_2:20 ). It is to be a life of righteousness, but he may suffer for... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - 1 Peter 4:1-8

1 Peter CHRISTIAN ASCETICISM 1Pe_4:1-8 . Christian morality brought two new things into the world--a new type of life in sharp contrast with the sensuality rife on every side, and a new set of motives powerfully aiding in its realisation. Both these novelties are presented in this passage, which insists on a life in which the spirit dominates the flesh, and is dominated by the will of God, and which puts forward purely Christian ideas as containing the motives for such a life. The facts of... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Peter 4:1-11

the New Life in Christ 1 Peter 4:1-11 The Apostle urges the disciples to make a clean break with sin. As our Lord’s grave lay between Him and His earlier life, so there should be a clean break between our life as believers and the earth-bound life, which was dominated by lawless passions. Sometimes God employs the acid of persecution or suffering to eat away the bonds that bind us to our past. Let us accept these with a willing mind. The one condition of reigning with the enthroned Christ is... read more
