1Pe_4:9. In this and the following verses two manifestations of love are brought prominently forward, in which its ministering nature is revealed. First: φιλόξενοι εἰς ἀλλήλους ] cf. Rom_12:13; Heb_13:2; 3Jn_1:5; 1Ti_3:2, etc. The chief emphasis lies on the words which serve more closely to define the statement: ἄνευ γογγυσμοῦ , “without murmuring,” i.e. murmuring at the trouble caused by the hospitality shown to brethren. The same thing is said in a more general way, Php_2:14 : πάντα ποιεῖτε χωρὶς γογγυσμῶν καὶ διαλογισμῶν ; cf. 2Co_9:7 : μὴ ἐκ λύπης , ἢ ἐξ ἀνάγκης .
