Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Peter 4:6

To them that are dead; either: 1. Spiritually dead, i.e. dead in sin, viz. then when the gospel was preached to them; or: 2. Naturally dead, viz. when the apostle wrote this Epistle. The verb are not being in the Greek, the words may be understood either way, by supplying were, according to the former exposition, or are, according to the latter, which our translators favour. See the like, Ruth 1:8. That they might be judged according to men in the flesh: either: 1. That they might be judged or... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Peter 4:7

But the end of all things: the last judgment, which will put an end to all the evils as well as good things of this world. Is at hand: see James 5:8,James 5:9. Be ye therefore sober; both in mind, prudent, moderate, 2 Corinthians 5:13; Titus 2:6; and in body, temperate in meats and drinks, &c. And watch: the word signifies both sobriety, in opposition to drunkenness, 1 Thessalonians 5:6,1 Thessalonians 5:8, and watchfulness, 2 Timothy 4:5, and this signification agrees best with this place,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Peter 4:1-6

THE CALL TO HOLY LIVINGCRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES1 Peter 4:1. In the flesh.—Or to the flesh; i.e., so far as the flesh is concerned. The same sphere in which Christian disciples were called to suffer. Same mind.—Or thought. The same temper of trust, obedience, and submission. Put yourselves into the same disposition. Ceased from sin.—“Hath been caused to rest.” The moral result of the suffering is deliverance from the motions of sins. But it is suffering borne in the mind of Christ’ that... read more

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES1 Peter 4:7. End of all things.—Jews naturally thought of the end of organised Judaism as the “end of all things,” The end of one great æon, or dispensation was nigh at hand, and this fact was properly used as an incentive to watchfulness Man is not capable of attaching a definite meaning to the term, “end of all things.” He can understand the “end of his things.” Sober.—letter, “be of sound mind, and be sober unto prayer.” Keep a good check on all bodily desires... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 4:7

1 Peter 4:7 Christ's Absence and Return. All the practical exhortations of this passage are founded upon the truth that "the end of all things is at hand." Yet, strange to say, there is hardly any passage of Scripture which has given rise to more frequent cavils than this simple assurance. I. Some persons are fond of asserting that the Apostles were mistaken in this belief; that when they wrote the end of all things was not at hand. But the answer is, that the Apostles warned the men of their... read more

DISCOURSE: 2406NEARNESS TO DEATH A MOTIVE TO WATCHFULNESS1 Peter 4:7. The end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.THE office of the Gospel is, not to fill the mind with notions, but to renew the heart, and sanctify the life. It is true indeed, that the smallest conformity to its precepts will cause us to be loaded with obloquy and derision by an ungodly world [Note: ver. 4.]: but it furnishes us with very sufficient motives to disregard the censures of men,... read more

Chapter 4Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us ( 1 Peter 4:1 )That is, has gone to the cross.in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that has suffered ( 1 Peter 4:1 )Or come to the cross as far as His flesh is concerned.hath ceased from sin ( 1 Peter 4:1 );Now this is the same rationale that Paul had in Romans chapter six. As far as baptism is concerned, as far as my old man being crucified with Christ, dead, buried in the water of baptism; as I come up it's the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Peter 4:1-19

1 Peter 4:3-4 . The will of the gentiles. Augustine in his city of God, should be read to see the excess and abominable idolatries of the gentiles. See the notes on Ephesians 5:12. Romans 1:0. 1 Peter 4:6 . For this cause was the gospel preached to them that are dead, that in the day of judgment every mouth may be stopped, as to privilege and dispensation; for the gospel was preached to the old world in the shadows of sacrifice, and in promises. And St. Paul says, that the Israelites... read more

1 Peter 4:1-6Christ suffered in the flesh.Ecce HomoThe Redeemer of the world is in one sense infinitely above us; but in another sense He is actually beside us. His sympathy is as true as His sovereignty.I. Try to understand what the sufferings of Jesus were. “He suffered in the flesh.” No one can read the Gospels without seeing indications of those sufferings.1. There can be no doubt that Jesus was exempted from many of the physical ills from which we suffer. We can only think of Him as... read more
