1 Peter 4:11
יא אִישׁ כִּי יְדַבֵּר, אִמְרֵי אֱלֹהִים יְדַבֵּר; אִישׁ כִּי יְשָׁרֵת, יַעֲשֶׂה זֹאת מִתּוֹךְ הַכֹּחַ שֶׁנָּתַן לוֹ אֱלֹהִים; וְזֹאת לְמַעַן יְכֻבַּד הָאֱלֹהִים בַּכֹּל דֶּרֶךְ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ אֲשֶׁר לוֹ הַכָּבוֹד וְהַגְּבוּרָה לְעוֹלְמֵי עוֹלָמִים. אָמֵן.
1 Peter 4:11
11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (KJV)
Here in 1 Peter 4:11 Peter taught to speak as the Oracles of YHWH (Hebrews 5:12, Acts 7:38, Roman’s 3:2) This phrase emphasizes that when we communicate, especially in public preaching or teaching, we should do so with authority and conviction. The term “oracles” refers to divine revelations or pronouncements which signifies that a message originated from God. Just as Moses received divine revelations (Sefer Shemot, Acts 7:38), we, too, are mouthpieces for God’s Word. The Torah contains accounts of prophets receiving divine revelations. Moses, for instance, received the Ten Commandments directly from God (Exodus 20). These prophetic utterances were considered God’s oracles. So again the NT text is using Torah concepts to illustrate the points.
