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

1 Peter 4:3-5The time past of our life may suffice us.The consideration of misspent time an incentive to repentance1. The time spent in sin, we know how much it is, but what is behind we know not. The devil is sure of his part, but what God shall have, whether half or a quarter, so much is uncertain. If we knew we should live twenty years more to serve God as we have done twenty years in sin, God should have but the half, but we know not whether we shall live twenty days. Should we then... read more

1 Peter 4:12-16Think it not strange.Not so strange“Think it not strange!” But it does seem strange that the waters of a full cup should be wrung out to the saints, whilst sinners walk on the sunny side of the hedge! Strange to find some of the sweetest and noblest of God’s children racked with agony, dying of cancer, beset with poverty, misunderstanding, and hatred. And yet it would be stranger still if it were not so. Let us look into the considerations which rob suffering of its strange... read more

1 Peter 4:16-19Yet if any man suffer as a Christian.The two-fold sorrowOne often hears it insinuated that a godly life is free from care and sorrow, but those persons do much harm who would cheat people into becoming religious by any such delusive hopes. All have troubles, but it makes a very great difference whether we sorrow with God or without Him. Let us now consider some of the sorrows of righteousness and compare them with the no less certain sorrows of unrighteousness. We divide the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Peter 4:1

1 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; Ver. 1. Christ hath suffered ] As 1 Peter 3:18 . In the flesh ] In human nature; so must we suffer in sinful nature, subduing it to God, and ceasing from sin, hailing it and nailing it to the cross of Christ. First have sin to the cross of Christ; force it before the tree on which he suffered: it is such a sight as sin cannot... read more
