Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
inasmuch as--The oldest manuscripts read, "in proportion as"; "in as far as" ye by suffering are partakers of Christ's sufferings, that is, by faith enter into realizing fellowship with them; willingly for His sake suffering as He suffered.
with exceeding joy--Greek, "exulting joy"; now ye rejoice amidst sufferings; then ye shall EXULT, for ever free from sufferings (Pe1 1:6, Pe1 1:8). If we will not bear suffering for Christ now, we must bear eternal sufferings hereafter. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings - That is, sufferings of the same kind that he endured, and inflicted for the same reasons. Compare Col 1:24; Jam 1:2; See the notes at Mat 5:12. The meaning here is, that they were to regard it as a matter of rejoicing that they were identified with Christ, even in suffering. See this sentiment illustrated at length in the notes at Phi 3:10.
That, when his glory shall be revealed - At the day of judgment. See the notes at Mat 26:30.
Ye may be glad also with exceeding joy - Being admitted to the rewards which he will then confer on his people. Compare Th1 2:19. Every good man will have joy when, immediately at death, he is received into the presence of his Saviour; but his joy will be complete only when, in the presence of assembled worlds, he shall hear the sentence which shall confirm him in happiness forever. |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Inasmuch as ye are partakers
Compare Rom 8:17.
Be glad with exceeding joy (χαρῆτε ἀγαλλιώμενοι)
Lit., ye may rejoice exulting. See on Pe1 1:6. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| But as ye partake of the sufferings of Christ - Pe1 4:1, while ye suffer for his sake, rejoice in hope of more abundant glory. For the measure of glory answers the measure of suffering; and much more abundantly. |

1 Forasmuch then as [3767] Christ [5547] hath suffered [3958] for [5228] us [2257] in the flesh [4561], arm [3695] yourselves [5210] likewise [2532] with the same [846] mind [1771]: for [3754] he that hath suffered [3958] in [1722] the flesh [4561] hath ceased [3973] from sin [266];
