1 peter 4:8 studylight

Introduction. He who speaks against a brother, or judges his brother, speaks against the law, and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge [of it.] I took a seminary student along with me, and because we were both wearing suits, the family greeted us eagerly. 142 This term is found only here in 1 Timothy 3:2 and Titus 1:8. Jesus warned us the great day would catch many, even Christians, unaware. AMBROSE [Epistles, 33 (Edition Paris, 1586), p. 1022] relates that St. Peter, not long before his death, being overcome by the solicitations of his fellow Christians to save himself, was fleeing from Rome when he was met by our Lord, and on asking, "Lord, whither goest Thou?" 17 For [it is] time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if [it begins] with us first, what [will be] the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 36 For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. Our text of Scripture has much to say to Christians today. Silvanus, Paul's companion, became subsequently Peter's, and was the carrier of this Epistle. ORIGEN'S and EUSEBIUS' statement that Peter visited the churches of Asia in person seems very probable. 6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned, [as it were,] with salt, so that you may know how you should respond to each person (Colossians 4:2-6). He was a married man, and tradition represents his wife's name as Concordia or Perpetua. In Pisidia was Antioch, where Paul was the instrument of converting many, but was driven out by the Jews. BIRKS prefers dating the Epistle A.D. 58, after Paul's second visit to Galatia, when Silvanus was with him, and so could not have been with Peter (A.D. 54), and before his imprisonment at Rome, when Mark was with him, and so could not have been with Peter (A.D. 62); perhaps when Paul was detained at Cæsarea, and so debarred from personal intercourse with those churches. But there also is a negative side to Peter’s words. 13 Therefore, gird your minds for action, keep sober [in spirit,] fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:13). They refused to look upon him in his condition, even as they were covering him. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but [wanting] to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires; 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and will turn aside to myths. Again, in 2 Timothy 4:11 (A.D. 67 or 68), Mark was in or near Ephesus, in Asia Minor, and Timothy is told to bring him to Rome. We have burglar bars, security systems, and big ugly dogs, all sending the same clear signal—stay away! Thus, when imprisoned and tried before the Sanhedrim for preaching Christ, he boldly avowed his determination to continue to do so. ITS GENUINENESS is attested by 2 Peter 3:1 Also by POLYCARP (in EUSEBIUS [Ecclesiastical History, 4.14]), who, in writing to the Philippians, quotes many passages: in the second chapter he quotes 1 Peter 1:13 1 Peter 1:21 ; 3:9 EUSEBIUS says of PAPIAS [Ecclesiastical History, 3.39] that he, too, quotes Peter's First Epistle. One who is unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord; 33 but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife, 34 and [his interests] are divided. In our text, Peter first reminds us that we are living on the edge of eternity. That fadeth not away - This is essentially the same word, though somewhat different in form, which occurs in 1 Peter 1:4. JOSEPHUS [Antiquities, 15.2.2; 3.1] states that there was a great multitude of Jews in the Chaldean Babylon; it is therefore likely that "the apostle of the circumcision" ( Galatians 2:7 Galatians 2:8 would at some time or other visit them. Individual saints, as well as the church as a whole, are called to holiness (1 Peter 1:14-16; 2:5, 9). Home > Study Desk. We must persist in prayer, but our prayers can be easily perverted. Home > Parallel Bible > Search Results. For example, see Genesis 18:1-8; 19:1-8; 24:10-20; Romans 12:13; 1 Timothy 5:10 (widows); Hebrews 13:2; 3 John 5. in 1971. What is certain is, that Peter was not there before the writing of the Epistle to the Romans (A.D. 58), otherwise he would have been mentioned in it; nor during Paul's first imprisonment at Rome, otherwise he would have been mentioned in some one of Paul's many other Epistles written from Rome; nor during Paul's second imprisonment, at least when he was writing the Second Epistle to Timothy, just before his martyrdom. He warned that His coming would catch most people unaware just as past judgments had done. (2) Every Christian has been given at least one spiritual gift. In 1 Peter 4:6, Peter speaks of the saints who are “judged in the flesh as men,” but who “live in the spirit according to the will of God.” Whether this judgment is by unbelieving opponents (as Stephen was condemned to death) or whether it is the “judgment” of physical death all men suffer due to Adam’s sin (Romans 5:12-21), or both, it is judgment believers suffer in time. The realization of future bliss as near causes him to regard believers as but "strangers" and "sojourners" here. He is well called "the mouth of the apostles." 5:6), though it is drawing nearer all the time (Rom. 2:2).” A. T. Robertson, Word Pictures in the New Testament (Nashville: Broadman Press, 1933), VI, p. 124. 7 The end of all things is at hand; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer. Often, this is because we have ceased to be sober and sane, especially in relationship to the end of all things: 1 What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? This gives us a very important clue to the meaning of the expression, “love covers a multitude of sins.” Love does not seek to “cover up” sin but to cover it. 43 “But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. 8 But all these things are [merely] the beginning of birth pangs. Test drive it and tell us about your experience. 13 Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy (Romans 13:11-13). Among other things, love does not gossip about the sins of others. In Mysia was Pergamos. You do not have because you do not ask. Compare Hebrews 13:20. Thus he, the apostle of the circumcision, sought to unite in one Christ Jew and Gentile, promoting thereby the same work and doctrine as Paul the apostle of the uncircumcision. 43 Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes” (Luke 12:35-43). They were already introduced "into" (so the Greek, 1 Peter 5:12 safe standing-ground. sheep"; also "Whom . Peter sums up all prophecy with these few words: The end of all things is at hand (1 Peter 4:7a). IRENÆUS [Against Heresies, 4.9.2] expressly mentions it; and in [4.16.5], 1 Peter 2:16 CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA [Miscellanies, 1.3, p. 544], quotes 1 Peter 2:11 1 Peter 2:12 1 Peter 2:15 1 Peter 2:16 [4, p. 584], 1 Peter 3:14-17 [p. 585], 1 Peter 4:12-14 EUSEBIUS [Ecclesiastical History, 6.25]) mentions this Epistle; in [Homily 7, on Joshua, vol. (8) In this passage, spiritual gifts are not named but described in terms of two general categories: (a) speaking gifts and (b) serving gifts. Spiritual gifts are to be used, and we will give an account for the use we have made of the gifts we were given. Jesus’ message was that of John the Baptist: “Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand.” In chapters 1 and 2 of Hebrews, the Lord Jesus is identified as God’s final Word, His last revelation to mankind (see 1:1-2; 2:1-4). 6 For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to [the will of] God (1 Peter 4:6). 140 For this expression, see also James 5:12. We shall not try to expound all the relevant texts, but we must be aware of them, and our interpretation of Peter’s teaching must not contradict the rest of Scripture. Indeed, it is serving the other as though they were Christ (see Matthew 25:31-40). But we must be careful not to restrict the gifts to “one per customer.” It seems almost impossible to say that Paul had but one gift. Chastened fervor, deep humility, and ardent love appear, just as we should expect from one who had been so graciously restored after his grievous fall. The Search OF the Savior: Why Jesus Came, Part 2 (Gal. … There is a sense in which the believer is judged now while the unbeliever is judged later. It is noteworthy that here Peter the Apostle ( 1 Peter 1:1) calls himself an elder along with (sun) the other “elders.” A witness (martu). Love is the best antidote for sin. The writer to the Hebrews therefore urges his readers to obey the gospel rather than continue to rebel against it. We cannot serve apart from the gracious gifts of God which enable and empower that service. 5 In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. How easy to want to help ease the suffering of someone experiencing the consequences of their own sin. We are to speak as though God Himself had spoken.144, A number of years ago I was asked on a couple of occasions to preach at a church which tried to create a “laid back” atmosphere. 5 But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry (2 Timothy 4:1-5, emphasis mine). No new revelation has been given during this past 2,000 years because there is nothing to add to God’s complete revelation through our Lord and His apostles. No wonder the gospel is proclaimed with such urgency. He was brought to Jesus by his brother Andrew, who had been a disciple of John the Baptist, but was pointed to the Saviour as "the Lamb of God" by his master ( John 1:29 by which chiefly he is known, indicative of his subsequent character and work in the Church, "Peter" (Greek) or "Cephas" (Aramaic), a stone ( Matthew 4:18 subsequent period. Spiritual gifts can be neglected (1 Timothy 4:14; 2 Timothy 1:6), and they can also be prostituted (2 Peter 2:15-16). Jesus refused to focus on the date His kingdom would be established and was unwilling to reveal the specific events immediately preceding the inauguration of His kingdom. Some may have more than one gift, but each believer has at least one gift.143. Our Lord’s words concerning the last days provide the backdrop for Peter’s teaching on hospitality. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. “ 7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority; 8 but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth” (Acts 1:6-8). The preacher should preach the Word, and when he does, he should do so in a way that communicates the authority of God’s Word. Proud member We must pray and ask for divine wisdom to know how best to serve others, and then we must do so in the strength God supplies. We do not risk our property or possessions; we do not put our lives at risk as some do even today because they identify themselves with those who faithfully practice and proclaim the gospel. 32 And all the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; 33 and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left. 46 Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes. 19 Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. It demands everything a man has of mental and spiritual energy . We have heard Bible teachers speak of these events, separated by at least 2,000 years, as mountain peaks which the prophets saw in close proximity. It is all a part of one big plan, a plan God is bringing to a close. 139 “The great characteristic of sanity is that it sees things in their proper proportions; it sees what things are important and what are not; it is not swept away by sudden and transitory enthusiasms; it is prone neither to unbalanced fanaticism nor to realizing indifference. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come” (Matthew 24:3-14). There will be an intensification of opposition toward Christians so that fellow Christians begin to turn on each other and family members betray one another (see also Mark 13:12-13). Hence he is called "first" in enumerating the apostles. Paul urged Timothy to do this: “Preach the Word … ” (2 Timothy 4:2). So Peter is saying, ‘If a man has the duty of preaching, let him preach not as one offering his own opinions or propagating his own prejudices, but as one with a message from God.’” Barclay, p. 256. Second, Peter seems to be urging those who speak God’s Word to speak in a way that communicates God’s authority and not the authority of the speaker. The evils which existed among themselves, and which are therefore reproved, were ambition and lucre-seeking on the part of the presbyters ( 1 Peter 5:2 1 Peter 5:3 members in general, and a want of sympathy and generosity towards one another. Hospitality does not come naturally these days; it comes supernaturally. All rights reserved. When Jesus sent out the disciples to preach, this is what He told them to proclaim: 7 “And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand’” (Matthew 10:7). 8 I tell you that He will bring about justice for them speedily. 8 Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins. Let us therefore lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. In Lydia was the Philadelphian Church, favorably noticed in Revelation 3:7 &c.; that of Sardis, the capital, and of Thyatira, and of Ephesus, founded by Paul, and a scene of the labors of Aquila and Priscilla and Apollos, and subsequently of more than two whole years' labor of Paul again, and subsequently censured for falling from its first love in Revelation 2:4 and as one of the seven churches receives unqualified praise. We are given a clue to the meaning of Peter’s citation in Proverbs 17:9: 9 He who covers a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates intimate friends (Proverbs 17:9). . Rather than allowing hard times to produce contention, strife, and self-protection, we should continue to give ourselves sacrificially in the service of others. 38 Whether he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds [them] so, blessed are those [slaves]. Over the years our family has been privileged to open our home to a number of Christians. So TERTULLIAN [Against Marcion, 4.5, and The Prescription Against Heretics, 36, 38]. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief; 5 for you are all sons of light and sons of day. (The Living Stone and a Chosen People. The Daily Study Bible Series, p. 251. Christian love is the love which never fails and into which every atom of man’s strength is directed.” Barclay, p. 252. (2) We must interpret Peter’s teaching here in light of the rest of his teaching. With his father and his brother Andrew he carried on trade as a fisherman at Capernaum, his subsequent place of abode. Soberness is the opposite of drunkenness. 12 You husbands likewise, live with [your wives] in an understanding way, as with a weaker vessel, since she is a woman; and grant her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered (1 Peter 3:7). The early church kept traveling missionaries and apostles (see Luke 10:1-11; Acts 10:6; 21:16; 3 John 5-8). In the Gospel of Luke, our Lord cautioned His disciples not to be caught by surprise when He returned: Knowing His return was imminent, Jesus’ disciples were to be ready and watchful and found doing those things He had given them to do. Peter’s two-fold division of spiritual gifts does not seem unique, for in Romans 12 Paul also views all gifts as falling into one of two broad categories: (a) prophecy, that is, speaking, or (b) serving. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. As the return of our Lord draws nearer, there will be times of persecution and affliction. It may also include the prayers of the church collectively offered up in these latter days. The Word of God is completely sufficient revelation for every spiritual need (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:2-4, 19-21). This sets aside the tradition that Paul and Peter suffered martyrdom together at Rome. The diction of this Epistle and of his speeches in Acts is very similar: an undesigned coincidence, and so a mark of genuineness (compare 1 Peter 2:7 1 Peter 2:24 1 Peter 1:10 Acts 3:15 ; 10:40 Acts 3:19 Acts 3:26, There is, too, a recurrence to the language of the Lord at the last interview after His resurrection, recorded in John 21:15-23 "the Shepherd . It was not I who had authority, but the Word of God has authority. Through the opening in the door, I could see his wife sitting up in bed reading movie magazines. 2 And He answered and said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Bob is a pastor/teacher and elder at Community Bible Chapel in Richardson, Texas, and has contributed many of his Bible study series for use by the Foundation. 17 [The righteous] cry and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. See the notes at 1 Peter 2:25. The secret police stood outside the church taking down the names of all who entered. 3 And there was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Give me legal protection from my opponent.’ 4 “And for a while he was unwilling; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Even though I do not fear God nor respect man, 5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her legal protection, lest by continually coming she wear me out. Compare 1 Corinthians 15:1 Gospel wherein ye stand." Find a Bible. 15 The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, And His ears are [open] to their cry. In writing to the Corinthians, Paul warned of going beyond the Scriptures as some teachers in that church seemed to be doing: 6 Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to exceed what is written, in order that no one of you might become arrogant in behalf of one against the other (1 Corinthians 4:6). The one whose gift manifests itself in words needs to speak “as the oracles of God.” The one who serves “as by the strength which God supplies.”. Above all things — See that you remember the distinguishing badge of your religion and have, maintain, fervent charity, love, among yourselves — One toward another: for love shall cover a multitude of sins — It will cause us to excuse them in others, and will entitle us, through divine mercy to the expectation of forgiveness for our own numberless failings. 9 Be hospitable to one another without complaint. Sound judgment and soberness are closely related to each other and to prayer. On one occasion, we took in a family who had come all the way to Dallas from the Northeast in a converted school bus to attend seminary. 6 And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened, for [those things] must take place, but [that] is not yet the end. Our high fences isolate and protect us from our neighbors. On this he returned and joyfully went to martyrdom. It is not unlikely that the whole tradition is built on the connection which existed between Paul and Peter. Truly I say to you, not one stone here shall be left upon another, which will not be torn down.” 3 And as He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what [will be] the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” (Matthew 24:1-3). 2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, 3 now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. “And if it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD” (Joshua 24:15). The word “gift” is derived from the root word for grace (charis). INTRODUCTION. It is not the messenger who is authoritative; it is the message. They sought to keep the sin of their father as private as possible. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. A few years ago, our friends from the Northwest called to ask that I visit a woman in a Dallas hospital who was dying of cancer. Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Paul was very careful in the things he spoke and wrote to distinguish between what he taught by the command of the Lord, those things he taught by permission, and those things which were his own opinion (1 Corinthians 7:6, 10, 12, 25, 40).
