A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
That he, &c.--"That he (the believer, who has once for all obtained cessation from sin by suffering, in the person of Christ, namely, in virtue of his union with the crucified Christ) should no longer live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God" as his rule. "Rest of his time in the flesh" (the Greek has the preposition "in" here, not in Pe1 4:1 as to Christ) proves that the reference is here not to Christ, but to the believer, whose remaining time for glorifying God is short (Pe1 4:3). "Live" in the truest sense, for heretofore he was dead. Not as ALFORD, "Arm yourselves . . . with a view no longer to live the rest of your time."

3 For [1063] the time [5550] past [3928] of our life [979] may suffice [713] us [2254] to have wrought [2716] the will [2307] of the Gentiles [1484], when we walked [4198] in [1722] lasciviousness [766], lusts [1939], excess of wine [3632], revellings [2970], banquetings [4224], and [2532] abominable [111] idolatries [1495]:
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];
15 And [2532] that he died [599] for [5228] all [3956], that [2443] they which live [2198] should [2198] not henceforth [3371] live [2198] unto themselves [1438], but [235] unto him which died [599] for [5228] them [846], and [2532] rose again [1453].
