Greek NT 4.1 Χριστοῦ οὖν παθόντος σαρκὶ καὶ ὑμεῖς τὴν αὐτὴν ἔννοιαν ὁπλίσασθε, ὅτι ὁ παθὼν σαρκὶ πέπαυται ἁμαρτίας, 2 εἰς τὸ μηκέτι ἀνθρώπων ἐπιθυμίαις ἀλλὰ θελήματι θεοῦτὸνἐπίλοιπονἐνσαρκὶ βιῶσαι χρόνον. 3 ἀρκετὸς γὰρ ὁ παρεληλυθὼς χρόνος τὸ βούλημα τῶν ἐθνῶν κατειργάσθαι, πεπορευμένους ἐν ἀσελγείαις, ἐπιθυμίαις, οἰνοφλυγίαις, κώμοις, πότοις, καὶ ἀθεμίτοις εἰδωλολατρίαις. 4 ἐν ᾧ ξενίζονται μὴ συντρεχόντων ὑμῶν εἰς τὴν αὐτὴν τῆς ἀσωτίας ἀνάχυσιν, βλασφημοῦντες· 5 οἳ ἀποδώσουσιν λόγον τῷ ἑτοίμως ἔχοντι κρῖναι ζῶντας καὶ νεκρούς· 6 εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ καὶ νεκροῖς εὐηγγελίσθη ἵνα κριθῶσι μὲν κατὰ ἀνθρώπους σαρκὶ ζῶσι δὲ κατὰ θεὸν πνεύματι. The First Letter of Peter Bible Study Session 16 1 Peter 4:1-6 “Understand Suffering” Gute Nachricht Bibel 4 1 Christus also hat gelitten, und zwar körperlich. Darum rüstet auch ihr euch mit seiner Gesinnung aus, wenn ihr seinetwegen leiden müsst! Denn wer einmal wegen Christus körperlich zu leiden hatte, in dem ist die Sünde abgestorben, 2 und er wird sich für den Rest seines Lebens in dieser Welt nicht mehr von menschlichen Leidenschaften fortreißen lassen, sondern nur noch tun, was Gott will. 3 Ihr habt euch ja lange genug an dem Treiben der Menschen beteiligt, die Gott nicht kennen; ihr habt euch hemmungsloser Gier und Ausschweifung hingegeben, habt an wüsten Fress- und Saufgelagen teilgenommen und an einem abscheulichen Götzendienst. 4 Jetzt wundern sich die anderen, dass ihr bei ihrem zügellosen Treiben nicht mehr mitmacht, und beschimpfen euch deswegen. 5 Aber sie werden sich vor dem verantworten müssen, der schon bereitsteht, um über die Lebenden und die Toten das Urteil zu sprechen. 6 Deshalb wurde sogar den schon Verstorbenen die Gute Nachricht verkündet, damit sie wie alle Menschen für ihre Taten zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden können, aber auch die Möglichkeit erhalten, zum Leben bei Gott zu gelangen. NRSV 1 Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same intention (for whoever has suffered in the flesh has finished with sin), 2 so as to live for the rest of your earthly life no longer by human desires but by the will of God. 3 You have already spent enough time in doing what the Gentiles like to do, living in licentiousness, passions, drunkenness, revels, carousing, and lawless idolatry. 4 They are surprised that you no longer join them in the same excesses of dissipation, and so they blaspheme. 5 But they will have to give an accounting to him who stands ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 For this is the reason the gospel was proclaimed even to the dead, so that, though they had been judged in the flesh as everyone is judged, they might live in the spirit as God does.

Two reasons to do so, vv. 3-6 *************************************************************************** NLT 1 So then, since Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm yourselves with the same attitude he had, and be ready to suffer, too. For if you are willing to suffer for Christ, you have decided to stop sinning. 2 And you won’t spend the rest of your life chasing after evil desires, but you will be anxious to do the will of God. 3 You have had enough in the past of the evil things that godless people enjoy -- their immorality and lust, their feasting and drunkenness and wild parties, and their terrible worship of idols. 4 Of course, your former friends are very surprised when you no longer join them in the wicked things they do, and they say evil things about you. 5 But just remember that they will have to face God, who will judge everyone, both the living and the dead. 6 That is why the Good News was preached even to those who have died -so that although their bodies were punished with death, they could still live in the spirit as God does.

Introduction to Study. As Peter continues to encourage his readers to endure unjust suffering, he adds a new dimension to the concept given in 4:1-6. One that modern Christianity has difficulty accepting: Willingness to suffer unjustly is clear indication of genuine faith commitment to Christ. Where is ‘righteous indignation’ when you need it? Peter, however, has another perspective. To western culture generally obsessed about personal rights and privileges, the language of Peter sounds strange and difficult. Could it be that we in modern western culture have missed something vitally important? And by being blinded by our culture, we believers fail to experience the blessing that Peter talks about in this passage. There is something very important in this insight of the apostle Peter about Christians suffering because of their religious faith. We need to gain this insight in order to live more as Christ desires us to live. I. Context and Background 1 The historical and literary background play an important role in understanding this text. a. Historical Both the history of the copying of the text for the first eight centuries and the internal references to time and place are important to understand. External History. The UBS 4th revised edition Greek text lists only one text variation considered important enough to impact the translation of this text into other language. The Nestle-Aland 27th revised edition text lists thirteen places where variations of wording surface. In the UBS 4th rev. edition text the variation surfaces in verse one. The printed text παθόντος σαρκὶ, “having suffered in the flesh,” is extended in a personalizing manner by later copyists to read παθόντος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν σαρκὶ (“having suffered for us in the flesh”), or παθόντος ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν σαρκὶ (“having suffered for you in the flesh”), or ἀποθάνοντος ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν σαρκὶ (“having died for you in the flesh”). 2 The decisive weight of evidence, both internal and external, favors the shorter reading παθόντος σαρκὶ, as is reflected in the {A} rating in the UBS text. The additional variants, as listed in the N-A 27th rev. ed. text are mainly stylistic variations in efforts to update the Greek style of Peter’s -- i.e., Silas’ -- writing to more contemporary patterns later on. 3 No substantial 1 Serious study of the Bible requires careful analysis of the background and setting of the scripture passage. Failure to do this leads to interpretive garbage and possibly to heresy. Detailed study of the background doesn’t always answer all the questions, but it certainly gets us further along toward correct understanding of both the historical and contemporary meanings of a text. This serious examination of both the historical and literary background of every passage will be presented in summary form with each of the studies. 2 “The reading that best explains the origin of the others is παθόντος, which is strongly supported by P 72 B C Ψ 330 1739 it 65 vg cop sa al. In order to express the idea more fully some copyists added ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν (so the Textus Receptus, following א c A K P 33 81 614 Byz Lect syrh cop bo arm eth al) while others added ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν (א 1505 2495 syr p al). Had either of the latter readings been the original, no adequate reason can account for the absence of the prepositional phrase from the best representatives of both the Alexandrian and the Western types of text.” [Bruce Manning Metzger and United Bible Societies, A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament, Second Edition a Companion Volume to the United Bible Societies’ Greek New Testament (4th Rev. Ed.) (London; New York: United Bible Societies, 1994), 624.] 3 1. Petrus 4,1 1.
