Commentary
Commentary on 1 Peter 4:2
Theological / DevotionalNo longer. See on Rom. 6:11–15.
Rest of his time. That is, the rest of his natural life.
In the flesh. That is, as a human being.
Lusts of men. That is, the evil desires and passions that lead men into sin.
Will of God. The life of one who has “ceased from sin” (v. 1) follows a new course altogether. His will is subject to the will of God as the compass is to the magnetic pole. He walks, “not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” (Rom. 8:1). Eternal fellowship with God is promised to everyone who does “the will of God” (1 John 2:17).
