Wesley's Notes for 1 Peter 1:6

1:6 Wherein - That is, in being so kept. Ye even now greatly rejoice, though now for a little while - Such is our whole life, compared to eternity. If need be - For it is not always needful. If God sees it to be the best means for your spiritual profit. Ye are in heaviness - Or sorrow; but not in darkness; for they still retained both faith, #1Pe 1:5|, hope, and love; yea, at this very time were rejoicing with joy unspeakable, #1Pe 1:8|.
