1 Peter 4:11

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

1 Peter 4:11. If any man speak -

Let him speak thoroughly well; but, in order that he may do so, what shall be his model?

1 Peter 4:11. Let him speak as the oracles of God/

As truthful]y, carefully, solemnly, as the Book itself speaks: "If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God."

1 Peter 4:11. If any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth.

"If any man minister," or serve, - if he is called to serve the church in any capacity, - " let him do it as of the ability which God giveth."

1 Peter 4:11. that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Note how Peter has the same spirit in him as that which burned in the breast of Paul, for he stops in the middle of a letter, lays down his pen, and lifts up his heart to God in an adoring strain of thanksgiving: "to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."
