But, he said, in order to convert a Moslem, they must see Christianity in action in your life. Thus, it would be proper to say that Whitefield came to America, and preached to the souls in perdition; or to go among the graves of the first settlers of New Haven, and say, Davenport came from England to preach to the dead men around us.. It is, therefore, worthwhile for us to take pains to make them understand that they are honoured for nothing else but only for appearing modest and self-respecting." As Bigg puts it, he was expected "intelligently and temperately to discuss matters of conduct." And a challenge of their authority is a real threat to their manhood. He tells her something very simple--nothing else than to be a good wife. Not rendering evil for evil ( 1 Peter 3:9 ), Now that's what the natural man would like to do, isn't it? The meaning is, that the same Spirit which was efficacious in restoring him to life, after he was put to death, was that by which he preached to the spirits in prison. I do not think it requires much argument to show whether under the gospel the Jews or the world are in such a condition as the prophet describes, or whether there, is anything in progress that is intended or calculated to bring about such a result. In the case of our Lord's suffering, it was the just that suffered for the unjust; he substituted himself in our room and stead, and bore our iniquities. The Baptism Of The Christian ( 1 Peter 3:18-22). In my old MS. Bible, which contains the first translation into English ever made, the clause is the following: In whiche thing and to hem that weren closid togyder in prison, hi commynge in Spirit, prechide.

This could save nobody; but what baptism represents does save. His coming ( ) is that which effects the rapture and reception of the saints to Himself; and His appearing is that which subsequently displays them with Himself before the world, and therefore expresses but a part of His presence, being the special (not the generic) term. It is used in the Old Testament of bringing to God those who are to be priests. 19 After being made alive,[ a] he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits 20 to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. Others feel He announced condemnation to the unbelievers. Then the prophecies will be fulfilled. Accordingly he is exceedingly annoyed because one of the most spiritual of his congregation goes away, though it may be to follow God's word more faithfully; and no doubt there is a great deal of pain and feeling on the part of the member of the congregation who is leaving his minister. "Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy." It is very far from identifying the state and testimony of the prophets with ours now under grace and a present Spirit. So far was their believing in Christ from taking them out of the people, it is then alone that they became, a people. Some use the word sacrament. but it would be tedious to reckon up the several different senses of this place; some referring it to such in Noah's time, to whom the Gospel was preached, and who repented; and though they suffered in their bodies, in the general deluge, yet their souls were saved; whereas the apostle calls them all, "the world of the ungodly", 2 Peter 2:5 and others, to the eight souls that were shut up in the ark, as in a prison, and were saved; though these are manifestly distinguished in the text from the disobedient spirits. (3.) Spirit; nor is there any such place as here feigned, in which the "It isn't the putting away of the filth of the flesh," but it's that work of the Spirit within my heart, "the good conscience toward God, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:". In 1 Peter 2:21-25 Peter mentioned Jesus behavior during His passion (1 Peter 2:21-23), His death on the cross (1 Peter 2:24 a), and His present ministry as the Shepherd and Guardian of our souls (1 Peter 2:24-25). The word Peter uses for pledge is eperotema ( G1906) . Therefore, he is completely secure.

This word introduces us to a special way of looking at the Old Testament. Nevertheless obedience abides the principle of the Christian. of 1 Adv. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, As Bigg puts it: "The sighs of the injured wife come between the husband's prayers and God's hearing." The blessed end or design of our Lord's sufferings was to bring us to God, to reconcile us to God, to give us access to the Father, to render us and our services acceptable, and to bring us to eternal glory, Ephesians 2:13; Ephesians 2:18; Ephesians 3:12; Hebrews 10:21; Hebrews 10:22. And more people are brought to Christ by the observing of the Christian life as you live it, than are converted through just someone laying the four spiritual laws on them.We were talking with a missionary who is in the Philippines and has a ministry basically to the Moslems. And so we find it in fact and in Scripture. He teaches the duty of wives and husbands to each other; He declares also the benefits of Christ toward the old world. Thus the Lord Jesus, being already come and about to come again, brings before us two of these stages, while the mission of the Holy Ghost for the gospel fills up the interval between them. It is a strange sound and fact at first, but in the end precious. There may be a still more diffusive action of the Holy Ghost when He is shed upon all flesh, not merely as a sample, but to an extent (I do not say depth) beyond what was accomplished on the day of Pentecost. There are three obvious inquiries in ascertaining its signification. It is not merely certain men, one or two, but "as each man," whatever the number, whether few or many. Honey, do I look nice? This is somewhat difficult for theology, because in general even intelligent and godly souls are much shut up in the prevalent commonplaces of men. In this case then we have the Christian by divine grace possessed of a new nature which loves to obey. They "prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: searching), what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glories after these." I pray that God will always grant to me a tender heart, a heart of compassion. Sep 19, 2015. Instead of improving the intelligibility of the passage (as a co. Albert Barnes' Bible Commentary does not agree with the connection of the words: others are of But the Christian's standard of comparison is Christ, and, compared with his sinless perfection, he is ever in default. I can do it myself," you know. I'm thinking about a television station locally here. It was the sign of a good woman that she must see as little, hear as little and ask as little as possible. Indeed such difficulties serve to show where people are. The intention is just that you recognize that true beauty is inward. It will be observed here that there are two motives to holiness: the first is that He has called us; the next, that we call Him, and this by the sweet and near title of Father. So as Paul wrote to the Corinthian church, I don't need that anyone should write letters of commendation for me because you are my living epistles known and read of all men.Our lifestyle testifies to what we believe. If they are fallen angels, Peter may have meant that after Jesus Christ arose He announced to them that their doom was now sure. 2. What is the reason for it? I shall discuss these views in the exposition to follow. The spirits of disobedient sinners, as soon as they are out of their bodies, are committed to the prison of hell, whence there is no redemption. The issue and event of Christ's suffering, as to himself, were these, he was put to death in his human nature, but he was quickened and raised again by the Spirit. Such unity will only come when Christians are humble and bold enough to lay hold on the unity already given in Christ and to take it more seriously than their own self-importance and sin, and to make of these deep differences of doctrine, which originate in our imperfect understanding of the Gospel and which we dare not belittle, not an excuse for letting go of one another or staying apart, but rather an incentive for a more earnest seeking in fellowship together to hear and obey the voice of Christ." call "Limbus Patrum", which they suppose is meant by the prison It was not necessary to speak of them precisely as they were at the time when it was delivered, but only in such a way as to identify them.

The simple fact is that love of God and love of man go hand in hand; the one cannot exist without the other. For it was thus in days of old the holy women, who placed their hopes in God, adorned themselves in submission to their husbands. of life, are called "spirits", which seems to be a word that It is to receive forgiveness from God and to give forgiveness to men that the Christian is called. He then went to the place where evil spirits are imprisoned awaiting final judgment and announced his victory (18-19). By which also he went and preached to the spirits in prison; 1 Peter 1:11,12 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. They are going to be judged. (ii) His defence must be given with gentleness. This will not be the case when the Jews shall be brought back to the land. And here I'm supposed to be a minister telling people how to have peace, and I'm all upset because of this stupid move of his. I mean, here's a --here's a kid, you know, high in LSD telling me, Peace, brother. The name of Enoch does not appear in any Greek manuscript. Now there need be no hesitation in declaring that the phrase does not mean God's heritage at all, but another idea wholly different. But Jesus Christ brings us to God; he opens the way for all men to his nearer presence. But we've come to, you know, think of pitiful, as you know a poor cat that's lost an eye or something. For [it is] better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away; but the word of the Lord endureth for ever. One could say that Jesus proclaimed a message to Noahs unbelieving contemporaries in His spirit (i.e., His spiritual state of life before the Incarnation) through Noah. The legal sacrifices were repeated from day to day, and from year to year; but the sacrifice of Christ, once offered, purgeth away sin, Hebrews 7:27; Hebrews 9:26; Hebrews 9:28; Hebrews 10:10; Hebrews 10:12; Hebrews 10:14. But then lest people make a mistake, he points out; it isn't the physical ritual.

The exhortation is not limited to slaves. sense best suits here; nor is that anxiety and uneasiness, which No man escapes suffering, but for the Christian suffering cannot touch the things which matter most of all. Beautiful Christian trait: courtesy. Start your free trial today! He went - To wit, in the days of Noah. The "spirits" here will thus correspond with "in spirit" there. 1. The "spirits in prison" are mentioned in the broader context of suffering righteously. You have to look onto the heavenly future. The fault is in denying the other and yet more fundamental sense of sanctification here shown by Peter in its right relation to obedience. He translates: "In the flesh he (Christ) was put to death, but he came to life in the Spirit. There are those who guide, and it is a most proper thing. c. Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: receiving the end of your faith," not yet the body saved, but soul-salvation "the salvation of souls." There were as many ways of dressing the hair as there were bees in Hybca. I admit it requires faith; but then the Lord cannot but look for faith in Christian people. Sanctification of the Spirit is that primary action that was experienced before Saul entered into peace with God. And if ye call on the Father" that is, if ye call on Him as Father "who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear: forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God." Why? And here it is well to observe, as an important fact to be recognised, that salvation in Peter's epistle looks onward to the future, where it is not otherwise qualified. Now Peter is saying, Honor her knowing that she's weaker. 1 Likewise. Scripture: 1 Peter 3:1-6. . Through him we have access to God the Father ( Ephesians 2:18). 3:17-18a For, it is better to suffer for doing right, if that should be the will of God, than to suffer for doing wrong. You're witnessing against yourself. sometimes signify a watch, yet more commonly a prison, and which Christianity alone settles all questions. In Greek civilization the duty of the woman was "to remain indoors and to be obedient to her husband." The coming of Jesus might be misunderstood, as being a much more comprehensive term than His appearing or revelation. They think they have an understanding of scripture, and that they may therefore speak to profit; but it is a totally different thing if one desire only to speak as God's mouthpiece, though it is granted that one may here as elsewhere mistake and fail. (3.) "The just for the unjust,". Hence he can fairly take up the quotation from the law, not at all conveying that we were under law, but with an fortiori force. Thus, as is known, the rejection of the Messiah was incomparably more fruitful of disastrous consequences to the Jew than even had been of old their breach of the divine law. rendered, instead of "in prison": and said to be in such a of happiness; nor such a gracious manifestation so properly Had there been only one coming of Christ, then the accomplishment that we have now, and the fulfilment of the prophecies that. Then this explanation cannot be right. Therefore the words must be properly understood of the dead. Some woman really railed on me this morning, now it isn't the first time. We are told and meant to know, that as He called us by His grace, so we should call on Him as Father. "We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. "Heirs together. To bring us to God. He is keeping up the link with saints of old by a general principle. Even in the Jewish synagogue they had no share in the service, and in the orthodox synagogue still have none. Assuredly he is to shepherd the flock, and this as God's flock, not his own. The first impulse of a converted man is to do the will of God. God is so patient that he waited for 120 years before sending the Flood in Noahs day (Genesis 6:3). Then he begins his exhortations, and first of all with the personal snares of every day, with what the Christian had to contend with in himself. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." With this object in view, there was entire propriety in directing them to the long-suffering and forbearance evinced by the Saviour, through Noah. This doctrine of the descent into Hades, as we must now call it, is based on two phrases in our present passage. Some of these say He extended an offer of salvation to them. So you can translate that "behavior" or "lifestyle" or "manner of living." Still others hold that He announced good news to the saved among them. At its simplest, the doctrine of the descent into Hades lays down the complete identity of Christ with our human condition, even to the experience of death. So guilty man cannot but quake, still by scepticism he may reason himself out of his fears, or he can find a religion that soothes and destroys his conscience. The plain and easy that he might bring us to God ( 1 Peter 3:18 ). There is no force in that argument, the Christian can reply; for, when the flood came, only a few were saved after all, as is shown by the first book of Moses, their own indisputably inspired history. NIV Reverse Interlinear Bible: English to Hebrew and English to Greek. It is not affirmed that he preached the gospel, for if that specific idea had been expressed it would have been rather by another word - euangelizo. While this is in full and evident contrast with Judaism, it needs little proof that it is precisely what gives scope for the proper display of Christianity, which could not be seen in its true light if at all till Jesus left the world. Though but newly brought out, it was in point of fact the oldest of all purposes. (b) If we look at Moffatt's translation, we find something quite different. The word is a somewhat difficult one; but I believe the force is that it is what conscience wants and asks for from God. Thus all the living oracles of God are turned into use for the Christian, only you must take care that you do not abuse them or any part of them. There is tupos ( G5179) , type, which means a seal, and there is antitupos ( G499) , antitype, which means the impression of the seal. others, to the eight souls that were shut up in the ark, as in a Persecution cannot really harm those who are eager to please God, because with such people persecution always results in greater spiritual blessing (13). I can't believe that; you're saved by believing in Jesus Christ. So, then, it must first of all be remembered that this whole matter is to be thought of, not in terms of hell, as we understand the word, but in terms of Christ's going to the dead in their shadowy world. In due time there will be the fulfilment of the prophecies to the letter. To worship the living and true, creator God - and not the false gods, false religions we pursue. I mean, his eyes got big and he just --he was just telling me, you know, how much he'd enjoyed the message and how it spoke to him, and all, and she comes up with all of this and his eyes get big and all. And so to assert my manhood, I become very strong, cold and aloof. This is Christianity. The flesh never counts on God for good. As was natural for him, Peter sums the matter up by quoting Psalms 34:1-22, with its picture of the man whom God receives and the man whom God rejects. The total submission of the universe to Christ is woven into the thought of the New Testament. human soul of Christ, but his divine nature, is designed by the In His own presence. The point that Peter is making is that, even if the Christian is compelled to suffer unjustly for his faith, he is only walking the way that his Lord and Saviour has already walked. 1Pe 3:19 in which [fn] he went and proclaimed [fn] to the spirits in prison, Tools 1Pe 3:20 because [fn] they formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. Gods saving of Noah and his family by means of the ark illustrates the salvation of believers. What is it that Saul of Tarsus says as the effect of the light of God shining on his soul? In this case, however, it is difficult to see the purpose of the digression, or what could have brought the subject into St. Peter's mind. It is a solemn warning to unbelief founded on plainly revealed facts before all eyes in this world, and not something to be understood as relating to another world. It takes them awhile; it takes longer as the years go by. Christian forgets his proper dignity. The merit and perfection of Christ's sacrifice were such that for him to suffer once was enough. Although this passage is one of the most difficult in the New Testament, it begins with something which anyone can understand. (i) Right in the forefront he sets Christian unity. The New Testament says this same thing often. Now because I believe in Jesus Christ, I want to obey Him and thus I am baptized as a sign of what has transpired already within my heart. "if you suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts ( 1 Peter 3:14-15 ): Give a special place for God in your life. On the other hand, as here, when salvation simply and fully is meant, we are thrown on the revelation of the last time. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. 162.] Therefore God has His own wise, holy, and gracious mode of dealing with it. Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers, NT Letters: 1 Peter 3:19 In which he also went and preached (1 Pet. 17 for it is better, if the will of god be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, To report dead links, typos, or html errors or suggestions about making these resources more useful use the convenient, Baker Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology, Hastings' Dictionary of the New Testament, Watson's Biblical & Theological Dictionary, International Standard Bible Encyclopedia. When he refers to Him as a "lamb without blemish and without spot," he evidently points to their types, yea, to Christ before the types, because we had that from the very beginning in the first recorded sacrifice, long before there was a Jew and still more before the law. From there, it next notes, "And when they had brought them." The wording makes it evident that the apostles freely went with the guards and that they were not bound or conducted . "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. By this will all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another" ( John 13:34-35). This again is a difficulty to some minds. Supposing God only gave the believer according to his own thoughts (often meagre); supposing one believed in the power of the precious blood of Jesus ever so truly, and had nothing more than this our real portion by the Spirit, such an one, I maintain, would be a sorry Christian indeed. (v) When we go beyond these two verses, further into the passage, we can add two more great truths to Peter's view of the work of Christ. The next verse makes it certain that it was during the generation of Noah, a time when the "spirits" here mentioned were not "spirits" merely, but "souls"; therefore, "spirits in prison" is a reference to their status at the time Peter wrote. It means that the work of Christ is infinite in its range. That the just should suffer for the unjust is an extraordinary thing. In one year silks, pearls, scents and jewellery were imported from India to the value of 1,000,000 British pounds. Scripture: 1 Peter 3:9. Others explain this passage of the apostles, that Christ by their ministry appeared to the dead, that is, to unbelievers. He who does not love remains in death. In the world of the Greeks and the Romans it is interesting to collect the references to personal adornments. Christ died once and for all for sins. The previous verse ended the narrative concerning Peter and it continued that of Herod. Christ neither went into this prison, nor preached in it, nor to They will be won over 2 by observing your pure and reverent lives. Revelation 20:11-15). You'll have a good life. They are not yet finished; and they must be punctually fulfilled. The very first sentence is a reminiscence of Isaiah 50:9: "Behold, the Lord God helps me; who will declare me guilty?" Personal / Relative Pronoun - Dative Neuter Singular, Verb - Aorist Participle Passive - Nominative Masculine Singular, Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular. Then the flood came and took them all away; but their spirits are now kept in prison waiting for that judgment which has no end. The old English word was conversation, which doesn't mean verbal but it means your lifestyle. and we answer; "Yes." (ii) He lays it down that that sacrifice was for sin. The copy from which this translation was taken evidently read conclusi erdnt, with one of the MSS. But thus it is He brings out one part of His character at one time, and another part at another time. "Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul." It is the grace of the Risen Lord which cleanses us; it is to the Risen, Living Lord that we pledge ourselves; it is to the Risen, Living Lord that we look for strength to keep the pledge that we have given. How important to be courteous. This is, indeed, a more tolerable sense than the former; but it will be difficult to show, that men, in the present state of life, are called "spirits", which seems to be a word that relates to the souls of men, in a separate state from their bodies; and especially that carnal and unconverted men are ever so called; and besides, the apostle is speaking of such who were disobedient in the times of Noah; and therefore not of the Gentiles, in the times of the apostles: add to which, that the transition from the times of the apostles, according to this sense, to the days of Noah, is very unaccountable; this sense does not agree with the connection of the words: others are of opinion, that this is meant of the souls of the Old Testament saints, who were , "in a watch", as they think the phrase may be rendered, instead of "in prison": and said to be in such a situation, because they were intent upon the hope of promised salvation, and were looking out for the Messiah, and anxiously desiring his coming, and which he, by some gracious manifestation, made known unto them: but though the word may sometimes signify a watch, yet more commonly a prison, and which sense best suits here; nor is that anxiety and uneasiness, which represents them as in a prison, so applicable to souls in a state of happiness; nor such a gracious manifestation so properly called preaching; and besides, not believers, but unbelievers, disobedient ones, are here spoken of; and though it is only said they were sometimes so, yet to what purpose should this former character be once mentioned of souls now in glory? Think of the power that brought it into existence. There was the best and weightiest reason for this, because the nature thus produced in them is this holy nature that comes by grace from God Himself. If you say that practical holiness precedes the being brought under the blood of Jesus, I ask, How is one to become holy? Matthew 24:37-39//Luke 17:26-27)." And these are the things that convince the Moslem of the truth of Christianity.So Paul is declaring that our lifestyle is all-important. Others believe it happened during His ascension to heaven. Likewise ye wives be in subjection to your own husbands that if any obey not the word they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives 1 Peter 3:1 Hebrew Bible 1 Peter 3:1 Aramaic NT: Peshitta The word , spirits, is supposed to render this view of the subject improbable, because this must mean disembodied spirits; but this certainly does not follow, for the spirits of just men made perfect, Hebrews 12:23, certainly means righteous men, and men still in the Church militant; and the Father of spirits, Hebrews 12:9, means men still in the body; and the God of the spirits of all flesh, Numbers 16:22; Numbers 27:16, means men not in a disembodied state.
