초록
The aim of this article is to grasp the reason, purpose, and consequence of Christians’ suffering by conducting a thorough exegesis on 1 Peter 4:1-6. Intricate exegetical and theological issues in 1 Peter 4:1-6 were disentangled in the exegesis of each verse of 1 Peter 4:1-6. In verse 1, Peter exhorts the Gentile Christians who are suffering or being persecuted to arm themselves with the mind of Christ. For this exhortation, he provides two legitimate reasons: Christ showed us the example and He had ceased from sin. The purpose of suffering is to live by the will of God as stated in verse 2. In verses 3-4, he describes specific worldly life-styles of non-Christians in which Christians were before involved. Even though people in this world mistreat and curse them due to their changed new life style, Christians should keep their new way of life in Christ. Without doubt it is difficult keep faith living in this world. However, as verses 5-6 reveal, they can overcome all the walls of this world when they see the hope in the final judgment. In sum, 1 Peter 4:1-6 is a timeless encouragement for Christian who are not living by themselves separately but living mixed with the people of the world suffering for the will of God, seeing the hope for them in the final judgment.
