6

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if needy be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

y

Heb. 12:7‑11• ⁷For chastisement ye are enduring: God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son [is he] whom a father chasteneth not?
⁸But if ye are apart from chastisement of which all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards and not sons.
⁹Then indeed we had fathers of our flesh as chasteners, and we reverenced them: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of the spirits and live?
¹⁰For they indeed chastened for a few days, as seemed good to them; but he for profit in order to the partaking of his holiness.
¹¹Now no chastisement for the time seemeth to be of joy but of grief; yet afterward it yieldeth peaceable fruit of righteousness to those that have been exercised thereby. (Heb. 12:7‑11)

James 1:2• ²Count [it] all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations, (James 1:2)

• We do not yet see all things subjected to Him, as they will be seen when His world-kingdom comes (Rev. 11:15). Meanwhile sufferings prevail during the present time; and Satan, though known to faith as judged in the cross of Christ, is the ruler of this world. (“1 Peter 1:6-7” by W. Kelly)

• Nowhere else such a concentration of what otherwise must be irreconcilable, majesty and humiliation, holiness and mercy, righteousness and sin, love and hatred, Satan apparently victorious but really and forever vanquished, man at his utter worst, God in His fullest grace, Jesus at the lowest point of obedience, yet glorifying God absolutely even as to sin, all issuing for the believer to God's glory in a perfect acceptance and an everlasting deliverance, with the reconciliation of all creation to come. "Wherein ye exult." What else can we feel through grace? (“1 Peter 1:6-7” by W. Kelly)

• It is accompanied by being "put to grief" as a needed passing trial in God's government, while the exceeding joy may and ought to be habitual. (“1 Peter 1:6-7” by W. Kelly)

• These trials are permitted in love, for they only come “if need be.” In one way or another we all do need them. (“1 Peter 1” by F.B. Hole)

• The heavy trials, however, are “now, for a season,” (ch. 1:6) even as the “pleasures of sin,” (Heb. 11:25) which charm the poor worldling are “for a season” (Heb. 11:25). Soon the worldling will say good-bye to his pleasures, and the Christian to his trials. (“1 Peter 1” by F.B. Hole)

a

The word "in" (en) here is very doubtful in the "manifold temptations" or "trials," though quite right at the beginning of the verse (wherein). "En" in such cases expresses way and character, which "by" suits in English; not the instrument identified with the agent like the simple dative, still less the means distinct from the agent like "dia" (through).
