There are those who guide, and it is a most proper thing. To be reviled was a pain to which as domestics they would be particularly exposed, as well as to suffer in all sorts of ways. "He," it is said of Christ, "gave them gifts, to each man according to his several ability." 1 Peter 3:15 The New King James Version (NKJV) 15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; 1 Peter 3:15 New Century Version (NCV) 15 But respect Christ as the holy Lord in your hearts.

The doctrine of the descent into Hades conserves the precious truth that no man who ever lived is left without a sight of Christ and without the offer of the salvation of God. He who was perfect Righteousness willingly suffered for totally unrighteous men. That the just should suffer for the unjust is an extraordinary thing. He says that after his resurrection Jesus went into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to him ( 1 Peter 3:22). It is the submission not of fear but of perfect love. But it is not what the word of God gives us by that converted soul, to whose case I have adverted. Will the dust praise thee? Therefore the words must be properly understood of the dead. 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. The rite of baptism doesn't save. 3:3-6 Let not your adornment be an outward thing of braided hair and ornaments of gold and wearing of robes, but let it be an adornment of the inward personality of the heart, wrought by the unfading loveliness of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. Here is a tremendous thought. So opening the prison. I have before me one of the first, if not the very first edition of the Latin Bible; and in it the verse stands thus: In quo et hiis, qui in carcere erant, SPIRITUALITER veniens praedicavit; "by which he came spiritually, and preached to them that were in prison.". of The elders are told to feed or shepherd the flock of God which was among them, exercising the oversight, not by necessity, but willingly; not for base gain, but readily, etc. does struggle to have its own way. righteousness, and preached both by words and deeds, by the In other words, if we think of firmness, as well as the sense of belonging to heaven, a bright triumphant consciousness of glory, surely we must enter into and enjoy the precious truth of our union with Christ. We cannot very well apply this question and answer in infant baptism, unless it be to the parents; but, as we have said, baptism in the very early church was of adult men and women coming spontaneously from heathenism into the Church. We are sanctified through the offering of the body of Christ once and for all ( Hebrews 10:10). What was its content? A marriage in which all the privileges are on one side and all the obligations on the other is bound to be imperfect with every chance of failure. To worship the living and true, creator God - and not the false gods, false religions we pursue. But there's an interesting proverb that says, "A soft answer turns away wrath" ( Proverbs 15:1 ). Some interpreters believe that the incident involving the sons of God and the daughters of men (Genesis 6:1-4) is what Peter had in view here. Whatever may be found in hymns, or sermons, or theology, scripture knows no such thing as an elect church. Thence, we see, they did speak of these very things. Just really railing on me. All on which one could look with delight and praise was concentrated in His own person. "Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations." He was put to death in the flesh, but he was raised to life in the Spirit, in which also he went and preached to the spirits who are in prison, the spirits who were once upon a time disobedient in the time when the patience of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being built, in which some few--that is, eight souls--were brought in safety through the water. Christ gave himself for our sins ( Galatians 1:4). Here it is not merely believing in the Messiah, but believing in "God that raised him up from the dead.". This is not by any means the only meaning of blood, even where it was sacrificially employed. He translates: "In the flesh he (Christ) was put to death, but he came to life in the Spirit. We might put it that the Old Testament event symbolically represents and foreshadows the New Testament event. Because they were dead and disembodied when the apostle speaks of them, therefore he properly calls them spirits now in prison; not that they were in prison when Christ preached to them, as the vulgar Latin translation and the popish expositors pretend. It is as if God had purposely put verse 11 to negative the conclusions which men have drawn from a misunderstanding of verse 10. They too, those who had been before them, had been put to the proof in this way. For Christ also hath once suffered for sins ( 1 Peter 3:18 ). It declares that the Christian man has a new place and standing not in the first Adam at all, but in the Second in the presence of God man without sin, and accepted according to the acceptance of Christ before God. "Whose adorning let it not be the outward adorning with the fancy hairstyles, the wearing of gold, putting on of fancy apparel.". There is an awakening of conscience by the Spirit through the word (for I am not speaking now of anything natural, of moral desires or emotions of the heart). We have seen that the attempt at the elimination of this passage fails. point here, but if possible a deeper thing; and for the simple reason, that practical holiness must be relative or a question of degree. Gentiles, in the times of the apostles: add to which, that the 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). Obedience is always right, but not to man when he would force the dishonour of God. I have quoted all these authorities from the most authentic and correct copies of the Vulgate, to show that from them there is no ground to believe that the text speaks of Christ's going to hell to preach the Gospel to the damned, or of his going to some feigned place where the souls of the patriarchs were detained, to whom he preached, and whom he delivered from that place and took with him to paradise, which the Romish Church holds as an article of faith. Greet ye one another with a kiss of love. Instead of improving the intelligibility of the passage (as a co. Albert Barnes' Bible Commentary bondage. Two characters of priesthood are here shown us. In 1 Peter 3:18-22 he cited Jesus resurrection and ascension into glory, the "missing links" in the previous record of Jesus experiences. In a certain sense they are strangers now; but it is an awful sense, because it is the fruit of judgment. He has always been a fascinating and mysterious person. But this was never the case with Jesus. The Greek more precisely reads, "Now Herod had been very angry with the . Noah preached in the power of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit whom Peter has earlier called "the Spirit of Christ" ( 1 Pet. In the unbeliever, where it does work unhinderedly, the consequences are fatal and everlasting. Then Peter reveals that Jesus' sacrificial death was as a substitutethe righteous (Christ) for the unrighteous (us). "In which" refers back to the spiritual sphere of life in which Jesus Christ now lives (1 Peter 3:18). of the Vulgate which I have seen in reading spiritibus, "to the spirits.". 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 old English word was conversation, which doesn't mean verbal but it means your lifestyle. Indeed, it is too plain a fact for any one to dispute. Not only are they to be set publicly at the head of the nations, but God himself will link His own glory from above with them as His earthly people here below, and nothing but peace, righteousness, and plenty will be found all over the earth in that day of glory. It might easily be interpreted as if it meant a right for any one to speak. It was a real inward and not merely external setting apart; it was through "sanctification of the Spirit." serving divers lusts and pleasures, to which they were in And again, it is interesting to me because it shows us Peter's good working knowledge of the Scriptures. And now, to wives. This is not the. poreutheis.

We are thrown on mercy, as we ought to be; we look up in dependence on One who is incontestably above us, and withal infinitely near to us. sense best suits here; nor is that anxiety and uneasiness, which whereas real service of the saints is as precious in its place as any speaking can be. In the thrilling early days of the Church this prayer was fulfilled, for they were all of one heart and of soul ( Acts 4:32). There is, however, no specification of the place where this is; no intimation that it is purgatory - a place where the departed are supposed to undergo purification; no intimation that their condition can be affected by anything that we can do; no intimation that those particularly referred to differ in any sense from the others who are confined in that world; no hint that they can be released by any prayers or sacrifices of ours. The more she challenges your decisions, the colder you become and, you know, and so you can just tear a marriage apart.And so these are important rules. And here is the wonderful infatuation of unbelief. He does not tell her to insist that there is no difference between slave and freeman, Gentile and Jew, male and female, but that all are the same in the presence of the Christ whom she has come to know. "Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" And this hippie kid, you know the beard and the whole thing, got out of his van and he looked back at me and just came with a peace sign, you know.You know suddenly I felt real terrible about laying on my horn and the attitude that I had. The Lord spoke of a day when they should know it; but as yet the foundation was not even laid for it. 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.
