ACC ~ 1 Peter 3 v10

TO SEE GOOD DAYS. CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA: Peter is referring here to those who want to be eternal and incorruptible. ADUMBRATIONS.

KEEP YOUR LIPS FROM SPEAKING GUILE. CHRYSOSTOM: Guile elicits falsehood, deception, hypocrisy, and slanders which are untrue. It is the friend of the enemy of truth, that is, Satan, the father of lies. Believers are advised to avoid his influence and to prefer the things of God, who is truth. CATENA.

KEEP YOUR TONGUE FROM EVIL. CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA: James also said: “If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check.” It is a great thing to be able to control the tongue, for failure to do so is the greatest of evils. CATENA.

VIEW THE PRESENT IN RELATION TO THE FUTURE. HILARY OF ARLES: The present is evil, but the future is bright. We should always remember that. INTRODUCTORY COMMENTARY ON 1 PETER.
