ACC ~ 1 Peter 4 v3

LIVING IN LICENTIOUSNESS. SEVERUS OF ANTIOCH: What Peter is saying is this: We must depart from the evil deeds of pagan life and not go back to our old ways nor imitate those who have relapsed into debauchery and drunkenness. CATENA.

DOING WHAT THE GENTILES LIKE TO DO. THEOPHYLACT: This is ironic, as if Peter were saying: “Have you not had enough of the pleasures which you once indulged in? Or do you still hanker after the Gentile life which you used to live?” It is in connection with this that he notes the various types of debauchery. COMMENTARY ON 1 PETER.
