The meaning is that there is nothing in earth and heaven outside the empire of Christ. Suffering is the way in which power in practice is found against the flesh; so that "he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God." And Peter and his friends went away rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer that kind of persecution for Jesus. This again is frequently said in the New Testament. But in the consideration of the text of any Greek author, scholars sometimes use a process called emendation. fulakh) , "in a watch", as they think the phrase may be Here is a great truth. They then understood that they suffered in the flesh the punishment due to their perverseness, and yet were saved by Christ, so that they did not perish for ever. Certainly such is not the teaching of God's word anywhere, still less is it what the apostle Peter insists on here. So that when they bite into the sandwich, they get the word and they pull it out of their mouth and they read, God loves you, you know. In 1 Peter 5:1-14 we read, "The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you;" but all concede that the terms " the church that is " have been put in by the translators: they have no authority whatever.

Now in the prophecy concerning Jesus, in Isaiah 61 , says, "The spirit of the Lord is upon me; because the LORD has anointed me to preach the good tidings to the meek; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those that are bound" ( Isaiah 61:1 ). If we saw a company of men in prison who had seen better days - a multitude now drunken, and debased, and poor, and riotous - it would not be improper to say that the prospect of wealth and honor was once held out to this ragged and wretched multitude. Through him we have access to God the Father ( Ephesians 2:18). In 1 Peter 3:19 he says that Jesus preached to the spirits in prison; and in 1 Peter 4:6 he says that the gospel was preached to them that are dead. Perhaps it is needless to say how the heart is tried. It is not merely the Christian who is called to this, but this is what Christ was called to. There is no difference in their authority, but each has its own importance. We might put it that the Old Testament event symbolically represents and foreshadows the New Testament event. For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 1 Peter 3:19. If there is no other name by which men may be saved, what is to happen to those who never heard it? It was not a question of what He was to gain or what He was to avoid; but as it is written, "Lo, I come, to do thy will, O God." personal ministry of Noah, and by the building of the ark, to "Whom," says he, "having not seen, ye love." Divisions, whether disagreements between individual members or the existence of factions and parties and--how much more!--our present-day denominations, constitute a calling in question of the Gospel itself and a sign that those who are involved are carnal. The purpose of the cross is to put away our sin, which had separated us from God. It is as if God had purposely put verse 11 to negative the conclusions which men have drawn from a misunderstanding of verse 10. There is at least one passage in the Old Testament which lists the various items of female adornment and threatens the day of judgment in which they will be destroyed. The Example Of The Work Of Christ ( 1 Peter 3:17-18 a). Hence, when he says it saves us, he necessarily brings in resurrection. No argument, therefore, can be derived from this language to prove that Christ went and personally preached to those who were confined in hades or in prison. We share together equally in the things of the Lord. Next we have the trial that the saints were passing through alluded to, and the call to suffer not for righteousness merely but for Christ's sake. 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. We are heirs together of the grace of life.". The Jew, as such, was bound to obey the law. 1 Peter 2:8 "Defense" (Greek: apologia): Christians should always be ready to give a defense, . . It is easy to lose the sense of pity and still easier to be satisfied with a sentimentalism which feels a moment's comfortable sorrow and does nothing. This is not by any means the only meaning of blood, even where it was sacrificially employed. Some of those addressed were domestics, whether or not they were slaves. ON THE TURF. A very important development follows in the next verses. The prophets were constantly saying that the righteousness of God was near at, hand, and His salvation to be revealed. They were the worst of all sinners and yet they were given another chance of repentance; therefore, the worst of men still have a chance in Christ. There is another possibility, namely, that the whole antediluvian world to whom the preaching was directed were said by Peter in this passage to have been "in prison" at the time of the preaching of Noah. Pliny saw Lollia Paulina, wife of Caligula, wearing a dress so covered with pearls and emeralds that it had cost 450,000 British pounds. (c) The context indicates that Christ was preaching through Noah, who was in a persecuted minority, and God saved Noah, which is similar to the situation in Peters time: Christ is now preaching the gospel through Peter and his readers (1 Peter 3:15) to a persecuted minority, and God will save them. "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth; because all flesh is as grass, and all its glory as the flower of grass. That's always a better thing. Ages earlier, they were living men and women who rejected the preaching of Christ through Noah. How does Moffatt arrive at this translation?

There are two closely connected words. II. This ought to be the spring of all our confidence, even in God Himself, with His own power preserving us. 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? It is not a question of merely having license. Hence this anxiety of expectation was to them a kind of prison. His explanation was that, since most manuscript copying was done to dictation, scribes were, very liable to miss words which followed each other, if they, en ( G1722) ho ( G3588) kai ( G2532) and Enoch ( G1802), sound very much alike, and Rendel Harris thought it very likely. Never fear for the honour of the scripture, never shrink from committing yourself to what God says. Undoubtedly there was always a secret election of saints after the fall and long before the call of Abraham and his seed; but now the choice of saints was to be made a manifest thing, a testimony before men, though of course not till glory come absolutely perfect. International Standard Version. So there are people and events and customs in the Old Testament which are types, and which find their antitypes in the New Testament. Under Roman law a woman had no rights. When they were admitted to the synagogue at all, they were segregated from the men and hidden behind a screen. Peter speaks of them as they were when he wrote; not as they had been, or were at the time when the message was preached to them. The Jews had a very shadowy conception of life beyond the grave. But if you suffer for well doing, then that is a better thing. But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. NIV Reverse Interlinear Bible: English to Hebrew and English to Greek. "As each man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. The Jews had brought His government into contempt by their own rebellion against His name; and Jehovah Himself had found it morally needful to hand over His own nation into the power of their enemies. "Dost thou work wonders for the dead? The more seriously we take the New Testament, the more urgent and painful becomes our sense of the sinfulness of the divisions, and the more earnest our prayers and strivings after the peace and unity of the Church on earth. Here are David's comments on verse 19, lightly adapted for readability: A number of alternative interpretations have been given. The New Testament says this same thing often. Then comes the general exhortation: "Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, pitiful, lowly-minded: not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing."

Furthermore as God judged the mockers in Noahs day, so will He judge those who persecuted Peters readers. (b) It has a Greek background. And when the Lord Jesus appears by and by, there will be not the gospel as it is now preached, nor the Holy Ghost as He is now sent down from heaven, but the word going forth and the Spirit poured out suitably to that day. 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.

Some wish to eliminate it altogether and attempt to do so along two lines. Now the new nature in the believer never has any other thought or feeling; only in our case there is also the old nature which may, and which alas! was quickened, went in the ministry of Noah, the preacher of In every sphere of ancient civilization, women had no rights at all.

"Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: who, when he was reviled, reviled not again." And the high priest asked them, Acts 5:27 The captain and officers just went to collect the apostles but without any violence. And so he talked about, first of all, the servants submitting themselves unto their own masters, Christ leaving us an example. Peter has quite a bit to say to the wives but he has very little to say to the husbands. "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:". 1P iP i Pet). But we did not finish that quotation and we do so now: "If you were to catch your wife in an act of infidelity, you can kill her with impunity without a trial; but, if she were to catch you, she would not venture to touch you with her finger and, indeed, she has no right." And scripture is clear and peremptory as to all these things.

In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, For some it was to last for ever; but for others it was a kind of prison-house in which they were held until the final judgment of God's wrath should blast them ( Isaiah 24:21-22; 2 Peter 2:4; Revelation 20:1-7). In this way it is not independent of our looking to Him.

In the New Testament the corresponding noun prosagoge ( G4318) is three times used. In this he takes exactly the same attitude as Paul takes ( 1 Corinthians 7:13-16). (3.) I haven't found any biblical evidence for that conclusion. The obvious sense is, that Peter supposed there were spirits in prison at the time when he wrote, and that to those same spirits the Son of God had at some time preached, or had made some proclamation respecting the will of God. "There are as many ways to the stars as there are men to climb them." But this was the will of God. Isaiah 42:7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. 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. The modern parallel is entering upon full membership of the Church. And big boys don't cry; that is, big boys aren't emotional. how often and readily the.

What he refers to is the loss of their title to be the people of God, which Israel sustained at the time of the Babylonish captivity. (1) The Descent Into Hell ( 1 Peter 3:18 b-20;4:6). There may have been a judgment, but this is not the judgment. Proud member Just as the Spirit of Christ prophesied in the prophets, so the Spirit of Christ preached by Noah. But it is so easy to rail back. Peter here spoke of them, by way of identification, as "spirits in prison"; but there is not a line in this passage which requires us to believe that Christ preached personally to those "spirits in prison" during the three days his body lay in the tomb! hope of salvation afterwards; and the latter is absurd, vain, and 1. Christianity came into a world of luxury and decadence combined. 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. Relatively few will escape Gods coming judgment, just as only eight escaped His former judgment. And this kid said, I didn't know what was going on, I was --I was ready to do something. If he, though perfectly just, why should not we, who are all criminals? "The dead do not praise the Lord, nor do any that go down into silence" ( Psalms 115:17). patriarchs from thence, and carried them with him to heaven; but 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. Thus he shows that even if you look at those that are dead, there was no difference. He was opposed, reviled, disbelieved, and, we may suppose, persecuted. A primary preposition denoting position, and instrumentality, i.e. (v) Fifth, Peter sets humility. Jesus, before He ascended into heaven said to the disciples, "All power is given to me in heaven and earth" ( Matthew 28:18 ). At the same time, the day is not yet come for the fulfilment of the prophecies as a whole. preached to the spirits -- The [best] interpretation understands spirits (Gk. But this gives the apostle an occasion to speak of Jesus, especially as he had spoken of His appearing, and this in a way that remarkably brings out the character of Christianity. But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy [are ye:] and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and [be] ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. Undue interest in self-adornment was then, as it still is, a sign that the person who indulged in it had no greater things to occupy her mind. The like figure whereunto [even] baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. a. "Baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh . Here in Christianity emerged the revolutionary principle that women had equal spiritual rights and with that the relationship between the sexes was changed. And when he ascended, he led the captives from their captivity" ( Ephesians 4:8-9 ). It comes, second, from the fact that the Christian has a new standard of comparison. She comes up and grabs me and starts calling me a filthy viper and all kinds of stuff, you know. God puts us to the proof; and, undoubtedly, if there be unbelief working, we must eat the bitter fruit of our own ways. besides, the text says not one word of the delivering of these He who does not love remains in death. He sacrificed himself to restore our lost relationship with God. But thus it is He brings out one part of His character at one time, and another part at another time. It is, however, too evident that there is nothing like incredulity for swallowing anything that panders to the first man, and leaving out the glory of the Second. In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. Therefore, "If Christ is said by Paul to go and do, what he did by his apostles, Christ may with equal propriety be said by Peter to go and do what he did by Noah."[33]. See Matthew 3:1; Matthew 4:17; Mark 1:35; Mark 5:20; Mark 7:36. We have first individuals chosen of God before the foundation of the world. Christians must maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, remembering that there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all ( Ephesians 4:3-6). Noah faced the same type of opposition in his day that Peters original readers did in theirs and we do in ours. It was partly sight and partly faith; but when He went away, it was altogether faith, and nothing but faith. He is righteous; He is jealous of His house; but if this be serious for His own, where shall the sinner appear? If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious; to whom coming as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God and precious, ye also as lively stones are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ." that generation who was then in being; and who being disobedient, Give her that security; give her that strength. It is a logos ( G3056) that the Christian must give, and a logos ( G3056) is a reasonable and intelligent statement of his position. It means Jews, and none but Jews, who believe in the Lord Jesus. But this is not all; we need Christ interceding for us, as well as the privilege of being in Christ; we need to have Him active in His love before our God, and not merely a condition in which we stand. When one member of the body suffers all the other members suffer with it; and when one member is honoured, all the members rejoice with it ( 1 Corinthians 12:26), and it must be so with Christians, who are the body of Christ. 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. Now all this is here judged and set aside as quite wrong The elders are exhorted and warned. It may be that we will never agree in our theories of what exactly happened on the Cross, for, indeed, as Charles Wesley said in that same hymn: "'Tis mystery all!"
