1 Peter 4:7-11 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

In The Light Of The Coming Judgment And Resurrection They are To Live With A Sense Of Urgency (1 Peter 4:7-11).

In view of the urgency of the times therefore they are to live out their Christian lives accordingly, revealing true love and hospitality, ministering to one another by means of the gifts given to them, and speaking as from God. And all so that God might be glorified through Jesus Christ the eternal King.

1 Peter 4:7-11

7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.

10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
