As every man hath received the gift; any gift, office, faculty, or ability, whereby he may be serviceable to the good of others, all which are received of God, 1 Corinthians 12:11; Ephesians 4:7. Minister the same one to another; dispense and communicate modestly and humbly, not lifting himself up above others upon the account of his gifts, but remembering he hath received them, and is a steward to dispense them.

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Peter 4:7-11

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 4:10

1 Peter 4:10 The Christian Stewardship. I.

And by it a lesson is conveyed to us of no inconsiderable importance. We have not, I think, been good stewards of this manifold grace. We have been ever apt to look on the grace of God in one or at most in some... 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
