1 Peter 4:9 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Use hospitality one to another without grudging.

(Romans 12:13; Hebrews 13:2.) Not the spurious hospitality which passes current in the world; but entertaining those needing it; especially those exiled for the faith, as representatives of Christ; and all hospitality to whomsoever exercised, from Christian love.

Without grudging, х gongusmou (G1112)] - 'murmuring' (Romans 12:8); open-hearted sincerity, cordiality. Not secretly speaking against the person whom we entertain, or upbraiding him with the favour we have conferred.

1 Peter 4:9
