John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Peter 4:6

6 For 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. Ver. 6. For for this cause ] See Trapp on " 1Pe 3:19 " That they might be judged ] Either by God chastising them,1 Corinthians 11:32; 1 Corinthians 11:32 , or by themselves, 1 Corinthians 11:31 . The gospel melts the hearts of God’s elect with voluntary grief for sin, it makes them condemn themselves in the flesh. But... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 4:6

6. For That the dead are to be judged, is the particular statement, the reason for which is now to be assigned. For this cause In view of the judgment.
