This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

1Pe 4:2. Εἰς τὸ, that he may live) for it is connected with the words, He has obtained cessation. There is a connection between the word in the flesh, 1Pe 4:1, and in the flesh, 1Pe 4:2. Sin, 1Pe 4:1, shows itself in the desires [lusts], and suffering in the flesh reminds the man that the rest of his time in the flesh is at length about to have an end.-ἀνθρώπων, of men) those of yourselves and others.-ἐπιθυμίαις, lusts or desires) of various kinds: but the will of God is perfect. There is the same antithesis, 1Jn 2:17.-βιῶσαι) to live. An appropriate word. It is not used of the brute creation.
