1 Peter 4:3
_ _ may suffice — Greek, “is sufficient.” Peter takes the lowest ground: for not even the past time ought to have been wasted in lust; but since you cannot recall it, at least lay out the future to better account.
_ _ us — omitted in oldest manuscripts.
_ _ wrought — Greek, “wrought out.”
_ _ Gentiles — heathen: which many of you were.
_ _ when, etc. — “walking as ye have done [Alford] in lasciviousness”; the Greek means petulant, immodest, wantonness, unbridled conduct: not so much filthy lust.
_ _ excess of wine — “wine-bibbings” [Alford].
_ _ abominable — “nefarious,” “lawless idolatries,” violating God’s most sacred law; not that all Peter’s readers (see on 1 Peter 1:1) walked in these, but many, namely, the Gentile portion of them. |
1 Peter 4:3

(2) By putting us in mind of the dishonesty of our former life led in the filth of sin, he calls us to earnest repentance.
