Greek Commentary for 1 Peter 4:17
No predicate, probably εστιν estin (is) to be supplied. The phrase that follows comes from the vision of Ezekiel (chapter Ezekiel 9:1-11). The construction is unusual with του αρχασται tou arxasthai (genitive articular aorist middle infinitive of αρχω archō), not exactly purpose or result, and almost in apposition (epexegetic), but note του ελτειν tou elthein used as subject in Luke 17:1. The persecution on hand (1 Peter 1:7) was a foretaste of more to come. By “house of God” he can mean the same as the “spiritual house” of 1 Peter 2:5 or a local church. Biggs even takes it to refer to the family. [source]

More correctly, as Rev., obeyeth not. Disbelief is regarded in its active manifestation, disobedience. The verb πείθω means to persuade, to cause belief, to induce one to do something by persuading, and so runs into the meaning of to obey, properly as the result of persuasion. See on Acts 5:29. Compare 1 Peter 4:17; Romans 2:8; Romans 11:30, Romans 11:31. Obedience, however, includes faith. Compare Romans 1:5, the obedience of faith. [source]
For the phrase see Mark 1:14; Romans 1:1; Romans 15:16; 2 Corinthians 11:7; 1 Thessalonians 2:8, 1 Thessalonians 2:9; 1 Peter 4:17. It points to the monotheistic character of the gospel. [source]
Even as was the house in which Moses served. The Christian community is thus emphatically designated as the house of God, implying the transitoriness of the Mosaic system. Comp. 1 Corinthians 3:16, 1 Corinthians 3:17; 2 Corinthians 6:16; Ephesians 2:22; 1 Peter 4:17. [source]
In the Gospels always of the temple. Not found in Paul. Once in the Pastorals, of the church, 1 Timothy 3:15, and so 1 Peter 4:17. Here the whole Christian family. Comp. 1 Corinthians 3:16, 1 Corinthians 3:17; 2 Corinthians 6:16; Ephesians 2:22. [source]
