1 Peter 4:10 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Peter 4:10

8 And above all things have fervent love for one another, for ^a“love will cover a multitude of sins.”

9 ^aBe hospitable to one another ^bwithout grumbling.

10 ^aAs each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, ^bas good stewards of ^cthe manifold grace of God.

11 ^aIf anyone speaks, let him speak as the¹ oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that ^bin all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the² dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Suffering for God’s Glory

12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;

13 but rejoice ^ato the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that ^bwhen His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

14 If you are¹ reproached for the name of Christ, ^ablessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.² On their part He is blasphemed, ^bbut on your part He is glorified.

15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a¹ busybody in other people’s matters.

16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this¹ matter.
