Commentary
Aim of the "temptations." trial--testing, proving. That your faith so proved "may be found (aorist; once for all, as the result of its being proved on the judgment-day) unto (eventuating in) praise," &c., namely, the praise to be bestowed by the Judge. than that of gold--rather, "than gold." though--"which perisheth, YET is tried with fire." If gold, though perishing (Pe1 1:18), is yet tried with fire in order to remove dross and test its genuineness, how much more does your faith, which shall never perish, need to pass through a fiery trial to remove whatever is defective, and to test its genuineness and full value? glory--"Honor" is not so strong as "glory." As "praise" is in words, so "honor" is in deeds: honorary reward. appearing--Translate as in Pe1 1:13, "revelation." At Christ's revelation shall take place also the revelation of the sons of God (Rom 8:19, "manifestation," Greek, "revelation"; Jo1 3:2, Greek, "manifested . . . manifested," for "appear . . . appear").
