And so to assert my manhood, I become very strong, cold and aloof. In what sense does baptism save us? It is not a spineless submission that is meant but, as someone has finely put it, a "voluntary selflessness." It seems to me that rather means a watchtower in which watchmen stand for the purpose of watching, or the very act of watching, for it is often so taken by Greek authors; and the meaning would be very appropriate, that godly souls were watching in hope of the salvation promised them, as though they saw it afar off. King James Version (KJV) Public Domain. human soul, but his divine nature meant, by the Spirit, by which And this by Christ's work is made good for us, because the very one that became responsible for our sins on the cross is in glory now.

The Spirit by which the preaching in view here was done was the blessed Holy Spirit, by whom and through whom all the preaching has been done throughout the ages. Thus there was a most thorough conviction of the folly of the Jewish argument as to Christianity being a mere novelty; but it was "manifest in these last times for you who by him do believe in God." He tells them that strifes and divisions are fleshly things, marks that they are living on purely human standards, without the mind of Christ ( 1 Corinthians 3:3). The" sanctification of the Spirit" here spoken of is absolute. It was necessary to its existence that Jesus should go. In the ancient world chivalry to women was well-nigh unknown. Let it be observed here that ministry is distinguished from speaking. It supposes that the believer is brought out of all that is natural even as to the body that he is already changed into the likeness of Christ. For he that will love life, and see good days ( 1 Peter 3:10 ), Now here Peter goes back and just quotes a portion out of the psalms. The Christian ethic never grants a privilege without a corresponding obligation. Christianity alone settles all questions. As Bigg puts it: "The sighs of the injured wife come between the husband's prayers and God's hearing." Common has been the opinion that Christs descent into hell is here referred to; but the words mean no such thing; for there is no mention made of the soul of Christ, but only that he went by the Spirit: and these are very different things, that Christs soul went, and that Christ preached by the power of the Spirit. I have every confidence of that. (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. By which also he went and . He was opposed, reviled, disbelieved, and, we may suppose, persecuted. Next follows the salutation, "Grace unto you, and peace," the usual Christian or apostolic style of address. This is Christianity.

By which - Evidently by the Spirit referred to in the previous verse - en ho - the divine nature of the Son of God; that by which he was quickened again, after he had been put to death; the Son of God regarded as a Divine Being, or in that same nature which afterward became incarnate, and whose agency was employed in quickening the man Christ Jesus, who had been put to death. By which Spirit, his own Divine energy and authority. For Christ also died once and for all for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God. Jesus Christ himself was not exempted from sufferings in this life, though he had no guilt of his own and could have declined all suffering if he had pleased. 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). As Christians, we are under a far more searching principle, namely, the grace of God (Romans 6:1-23), which assuredly ought to produce far better and more fruitful results. 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.

For this reason, that very few were saved then, whilst. Over and over again Paul exhorts men to this unity and prays for it. It was the sign of a good woman that she must see as little, hear as little and ask as little as possible. "No particular stress should be laid on the clause he went. Here again the whole New Testament urges this duty upon us. After this episode which has to do with men here, not in the unseen world, he returns to the relative duties of Christians, and exhorts them to watchfulness with sobriety, to fervent love, and also to "use hospitality one to another without grudging." These were the jewels which adorned the holy women of old. But it did not matter whether one gave silver or gold, it was all corruptible; and to what did it come at last? Matthew 9:13, but go and learn what that meaneth, etc. Understanding and considerateness had forged an unbreakable bond. I am not speaking of a particular doctrine. II. "Laying aside," he says, "all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby to salvation." (iv) Unless a man fulfils these obligations, there is a barrier between his prayers and God. I suppose there was a danger of these Christian Jews being somewhat turbulent. That is, we have had accomplishment in the past; and we look for future fulfilment of all the bright anticipations of the coming kingdom. (i) Right in the forefront he sets Christian unity. It has two vivid backgrounds. They are going to be judged. They were tempted by the beauty of mortal women; they came to earth, seduced them and begat children; and because of their action, it is inferred, the wickedness of man was great and his thoughts were always evil. 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. Calvin, For the context also leads to this conclusion, that the faithful, who had died before that time, were sharers of the same grace with us: because it enhances the power of His death from this circumstance, that it penetrated even to the dead; while the souls of the righteous obtained an, which they had anxiously expected, on the contrary, it was more plainly revealed, that they are altogether excluded from salvation. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." Therefore be would have them know that, as to the novelty with which they reproach Christianity, it was altogether a mistake; for the Lamb without blemish and without spot, though only lately slain, was foreordained before the foundation of the world. souls of Old Testament saints were, before the death of Christ; While He was here, there was a kind of mingled experience. What reason is there for bringing Enoch ( G1802) into this passage at all? When a man is roused to hate his sins through God's testimony reaching him, and convicting him before God, and not in his own eyes, when a man is ashamed of all that he has been in presence of God's grace, ever so little known and understood, still where a real work goes on in the soul, sanctification of the Spirit is true there. It is a capital offense to convert a Moslem. All this will come in due time, and it may be very rapidly, even the self-same hour; but the very first thing that a soul born of God feels is the desire at all cost to do the will of God. And if you read it in Amplified, I think these guys were male chauvinists because they really jump onto this and amplify it almost to an extreme. of the Vulgate which I have seen in reading spiritibus, "to the spirits.". Its effect must be on a man's very soul and on his whole life. He led the captives from their captivity. 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. Unto the spirits in prison - That is, clearly, to the spirits now in prison, for this is the fair meaning of the passage. Various are the senses given of this passage: some say, that fulakh) , "in a watch", as they think the phrase may be A cultivated Greek believed that it was the mark of an intelligent man that he was able to give and to receive a logos ( G3056) concerning his actions and belief. The Psalmist wrote: "In death there is no remembrance of thee; in Sheol who can give thee praise?" It is the submission not of fear but of perfect love. The unbelieving might taunt the Christians with their scanty numbers, while the great mass still remained Jews, and with the absurdity of such a conclusion to the coming of Messiah. From Philippi to Thessalonica Now note the shift back to the third person, which seems to signify that Luke stayed behind in Philippi to minister to the Church there. Others feel He announced condemnation to the unbelievers. Sep 19, 2015. Even so, "Baptism," Peter says, "saves us." (ii) Peter goes on to speak about the Christian attitude to suffering. There is nothing contrary to sound truth or principle in that, but indeed a very great defect in those who do not believe it; in fact, it is flying in the face of scripture. At the court of kings there was an official called the prosagogeus, the introducer, the giver of access, and it was his function to decide who should be admitted to the king's presence and who should be kept out. He went and preached, by his Spirit striving with them, and inspiring and enabling Enoch and Noah to plead with them, and preach righteousness to them, as 2 Peter 2:5. Epictetus, the philosopher, thinking of the narrow life to which women were condemned in the ancient world, said, "Immediately after they are fourteen, women are called 'ladies' by men. ( Wuest, K. S. Wuest's Word Studies from the Greek New Testament: Eerdmans) Peter is saying in essence Yes you are suffering but He suffered also. A relation of rest; 'in, ' at, on, by, etc. I. This is Christianity. only to their responsibility, not to their faith; and if it be responsibility, whether to do the law or to believe the Messiah, it is all one as far as the result in man is concerned. She comes up and grabs me and starts calling me a filthy viper and all kinds of stuff, you know. And the woman is always fishing for the affirmation of this. Pearls were loved most of all. They observe, and then, he said, they have to see a miracle and answer to prayer. One of the legends was that Enoch, though a man, acted as "God's envoy" to the angels who sinned by coming to earth and lustfully seducing mortal women ( Genesis 6:2). and patriarchs, under the former dispensation: others think the That is, the holiness of the Christian is fuller, and deeper than that of the Jew. "Salvation," says Peter, "ready to be revealed in the last time." How important to be courteous. The one who was perfect died for sinners to bring them to God. Why even your dog has a will; and I am sure you have a will yourselves. They were redeemed then with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 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. It may be well to point out that the Spirit is used particularly in connection with Noah, as we find in Genesis 6:1-22: "My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh." Hebrew Names Version Chapter Parallel 1 Peter 3:19 (HNV) in which he also went and preached to the spirits in prison, That is to say, any argument in which the Christian is involved must be carried on in a tone which God can hear with joy. Christianity came into a world of luxury and decadence combined. This is founded on the very principle of Christianity itself; that is, doing good, suffering for it, and taking it patiently. That is, He is a royal priest just as truly as His functions are now exercised on the ground of sacrifice, interceding after the Aaronic pattern within the veil but a veil that is rent. In between the Old and New Testaments many legends sprang up about Enoch and famous and important books were written under his name. Thus he loves to bring out again confirmatorily the new relationship in which they stood to God. Up to that time membership of Christ, or to be in Christ, was not a fact, and consequently could not be testified to any soul, nor known to the most advanced believer. Those spirits had led people to rebel against God (as, for example, in the time of Noah; see Genesis 6:1-8), but Christ has now conquered all sin and rebellion. Do you accept its privileges and promises, and do you undertake its responsibilities and its demands?" Is this, you know, do you like this outfit? Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto a weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered ( 1 Peter 3:7 ). At the same time, the day is not yet come for the fulfilment of the prophecies as a whole. We take it, then, to mean that, directly Christ's human spirit was disengaged from the body, He gave proof of the new powers of purely spiritual action thus acquired by going off to the place, or state, in which other disembodied spirits were (who would have been incapable of receiving direct impressions from Him had He not Himself been in the purely spiritual condition), and conveyed to them certain tidings: He "preached" unto them. (iii) He lays it down that that sacrifice was vicarious. The saints are chosen through sanctification of the Spirit unto obedience. They are not yet finished; and they must be punctually fulfilled. So I do not believe in what is called baptismal regeneration. among ourselves, besides divers great theologians of other countries, including St. Thomas Aquinas on the one hand and Beza on the other--it was "in spirit," i.e., mystically speaking, our Lord Himself who, in and through the person of Noah, preached repentance to the old world. (b) It is argued that Jesus preached to the fallen angels, and preached, not salvation, but final and awful doom. Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. 1 Peter 3:19 New International Version 19 After being made alive,[ a] he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits Read full chapter Footnotes 1 Peter 3:19 Or but made alive in the spirit, 19 in which also 1 Peter 3:19 in all English translations 1 Peter 2 1 Peter 4 New International Version (NIV) Women of old forming a family, and no longer governing one chosen nation fulfilment of the consequences of response!
