The Greek word "ἐν ᾧ" (en hō) indicates a state of being or condition. This points to the believer's current spiritual reality and the assurance of salvation. The context is crucial, as it anchors the believer's joy not in present circumstances but in the eternal promises of God.you greatly rejoice The Greek word for "greatly rejoice" is "ἀγαλλιᾶσθε" (agalliasthe), which conveys an intense, exuberant joy. This is not a superficial happiness but a deep, spiritual joy that transcends earthly conditions. Historically, early Christians faced persecution and hardship, yet their joy was rooted in their faith and the hope of salvation. This joy is a testament to the transformative power of the Gospel, enabling believers to rise above temporal struggles.though now for a little while The phrase "though now for a little while" acknowledges the temporary nature of earthly trials. The Greek "ὀλίγον ἄρτι" (oligon arti) suggests brevity and immediacy. This perspective is vital for Christians, as it places current sufferings within the larger framework of eternity. The early church, familiar with persecution, would find solace in the knowledge that their trials were momentary compared to the eternal glory awaiting them.you may have had to suffer grief "Suffer grief" comes from the Greek "λυπηθέντες" (lypēthentes), meaning to experience sorrow or distress. This acknowledges the reality of emotional and physical pain in the Christian life. The early Christians, often marginalized and oppressed, understood suffering as part of their calling. Yet, this suffering is not without purpose; it refines faith and draws believers closer to Christ, who Himself suffered.in various trials The term "various trials" is translated from the Greek "ποικίλοις πειρασμοῖς" (poikilois peirasmois), indicating a diversity of challenges. These trials can be external, such as persecution, or internal, like spiritual struggles. The historical context of Peter's audience, who faced diverse forms of persecution, underscores the relevance of this phrase. The trials serve to test and strengthen faith, producing perseverance and maturity in the believer's life.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/1_peter/1.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(6) Wherein ye greatly rejoice.--"His scope," says Leighton, "is to stir up and strengthen spiritual joy in his afflicted brethren; and therefore having set the matter of it before them in the preceding verses, he now applies it, and expressly opposes it to their distresses." There is a little doubt as to the antecedent of the word "wherein." At first sight it would seem to be "in the last time," and the thought would then be that this "last time," with all its predicted afflictions, was already begun, and that the Pontine Hebrews were fulfilling the injunction of our Lord in <a href="/luke/21-28.htm" title="And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near.">Luke 21:28</a>, and "rejoicing" (the word is one of enthusiastic and demonstrative joy) in the near approach of their redemption. This makes good sense, but it is better to see the antecedent in "the whole complex sense of the preceding verses, concerning the hope of glory. In this thing ye rejoice, that ye are begotten again; that there is such an inheritance, and that you are made heirs of it; that it is kept for you, and you for it; that nothing can come betwixt you and it, and disappoint you of possessing and enjoying it, though there be many deserts and mountains and seas in the way, yet you are ascertained that you shall come safe thither." (Leighton.)Though now for a season.--Literally, after having been grieved in the present (if it must be so) for a little while in the midst of manifold temptations. The Apostle takes his stand at the moment of the revelation and looks back upon the fast-passing present and its griefs. What the temptations were we cannot tell; but the word "manifold" shows that it was not only one type of temptation under which all lay alike. The chief was probably the unkind attitude of Gentile neighbours (<a href="/1_peter/2-12.htm" title="Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.">1Peter 2:12</a>; <a href="/1_peter/2-15.htm" title="For so is the will of God, that with well doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:">1Peter 2:15</a>; <a href="/context/1_peter/3-14.htm" title="But and if you suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are you: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;">1Peter 3:14-17</a>; <a href="/1_peter/4-4.htm" title="Wherein they think it strange that you run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:">1Peter 4:4</a>; <a href="/context/1_peter/4-12.htm" title="Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you:">1Peter 4:12-19</a>), which was the most searching "test of faith." Identical words (in the Greek) occur in <a href="/context/james/1-2.htm" title="My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into divers temptations;">James 1:2-3</a>, so as almost to suggest a common origin--possibly to be found in <a href="/romans/5-3.htm" title="And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation works patience;">Romans 5:3</a>. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_peter/1.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 6. - Wherein ye greatly rejoice. Is the word "wherein" (ἐν ῷ) to be referred to the whole sentence, and to be understood of the Christian's present privileges and hopes? or is it to be taken in a temporal sense with the words immediately preceding it, "in the last time"? Authorities are divided. Of those who take the latter view some regard "the last time" - as the object of the Christian's joyful hope - he rejoices now in the hope of the glory of God; others give the verb a quasi-future sense - " wherein ye will greatly rejoice." But the former connection seems more natural; the Christian rejoices in his present and future blessings - in the new birth, in the hope of the heavenly inheritance, in the assured protection of God. The verb (ἀγαλλιᾶσθε) is a strong expression; it means "to exult, to leap for joy." St. Peter may have had in his thoughts the well-remembered sermon on the mount, where the same word occurs (<a href="/matthew/5-12.htm">Matthew 5:12</a>), and, as here, in connection with sorrows and persecutions. It is used of our Lord himself in <a href="/luke/10-21.htm">Luke 10:21</a>, of the Philippian gaoler's joy in his newborn faith (<a href="/acts/16-34.htm">Acts 16:34</a>), as well as of the joy of the blessed in heaven (<a href="/revelation/19-7.htm">Revelation 19:7</a>). There is, therefore, nothing unsuitable in taking the verb in its proper present signification; the Christian's experience is often, like St. Paul's, "sorrowful, yet always rejoicing." Some commentators, following St. Augustine, regard the verb as imperative. Though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations. The word rendered "for a season" (ὀλίγον, a little) may mean that the present suffering is but little compared with the future glory; it may cover both meanings (comp. <a href="/2_corinthians/4-17.htm">2 Corinthians 4:17</a>, "Our light affliction, which is but for a moment"). St. Peter, like St. Paul, enforces the lesson that that light affliction, which seems sometimes so heavy, is sent in love and wisdom; the words, "if need be," imply his belief that these trials were necessary for his readers' salvation - they would work for them "a tar more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." The words, "ye are in heaviness," represent the aorist participle λυπηθέντες, having been put to grief; it refers to definite afflictions, known to St. Peter, which had been suffered by those to whom he is writing. The words, "manifold temptations," remind us of <a href="/james/1-2.htm">James 1:2</a>. <a href="/commentaries/1_peter/1-6.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>In ἐν (en) Preposition <a href="/greek/strongs_1722.htm">Strong's 1722: </a> In, on, among.
