Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Peter 1:7

_ _ Aim of the “temptations.”

_ _ trial — testing, proving. That your faith so proved “may be found (aorist; once for all, as the result of its being proved on the judgment-day) unto (eventuating in) praise,” etc., namely, the praise to be bestowed by the Judge.

_ _ than that of gold — rather, “than gold.”

_ _ though — “which perisheth, YET is tried with fire.” If gold, though perishing (1 Peter 1:18), is yet tried with fire in order to remove dross and test its genuineness, how much more does your faith, which shall never perish, need to pass through a fiery trial to remove whatever is defective, and to test its genuineness and full value?

_ _ glory — “Honor” is not so strong as “glory.” As “praise” is in words, so “honor” is in deeds: honorary reward.

_ _ appearing — Translate as in 1 Peter 1:13, “revelation.” At Christ’s revelation shall take place also the revelation of the sons of God (Romans 8:19, “manifestation,” Greek, “revelation”; 1 John 3:2, Greek, “manifested ... manifested,” for “appear ... appear”).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Peter 1:6-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Peter 1:7

That the trial of your faith — That is, your faith which is tried. Which is much more precious than gold — For gold, though it bear the fire, yet will perish with the world. May be found — Though it doth not yet appear. Unto praise — From God himself. And honour — From men and angels. And glory — Assigned by the great Judge.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Peter 1:7

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the (e) appearing of Jesus Christ:

(e) He speaks of the second coming of Christ.
