1 peter 3:19 greek

Hence this anxiety of expectation was to them a kind of prison. In the world of the Greeks and the Romans it is interesting to collect the references to personal adornments. More than this, there is full security, spite of our passing through a world filled with hatred and peril, for the Christian above all. Jesus preached to the souls in prison. (i) He lays it down that the work of Christ was unique and never need be repeated. "All power," He said, "is given to me in heaven and in earth." Nothing is said of preaching in prison, but to the imprisoned spirits not when they were there. He went, not by a local motion, but by special operation, as God is frequently said to move, Genesis 11:5; Hosea 5:15; Micah 1:3. Catholicato d'Occidente - Decreto Della Chiesa vetero-cattolica ortodossa e dell'antecedenza del Catholicato d'Occidente Mentre l'8 ottobre 1941, il Primate e Vescovo Presiedente della Chiesa Episcopale Apostolica, Dr. Arthur Wolfort Brooks (Mar John Emmanuel, 1889-1948) ha rilasciato un Certificato di Accettazione in cui ha accettato l'ufficio aggiuntivo di Vescovo Presiedente della Chiesa . He is the expiation for our sins ( 1 John 2:2). Why are modern Bible translations copyrighted. Another ancient MS. in my possession has the words nearly as in the printed copy: In quo et hiis qui in carcere CONCLUSI erant SPIRITUALITER veniens praedicavit; "in which, coming spiritually, he preached to those who were SHUT UP in prison.". He did not mean the mere outward act of baptism. The apostle Paul pressed on the Christian slave the beauty and responsibility of obedience; but Peter insists on it whether a man be a slave or not. But there is need also of present strength from God to those who look to Him. It means that the work of Christ is infinite in its range. By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; "By which" refers to the Holy Spirit of verse 18. In the narrow compass of these two verses Peter has the greatest and the deepest things to say about the work of Christ. There are three obvious inquiries in ascertaining its signification. And may God help us to be tenderhearted, not to become callused or indifferent to the needs of people around us but that we might have tender hearts, full of pity. The principle, however, is sound; and may we heed it in conscience, looking to the Lord's grace in our weakness. 1 Peter 3 is the third chapter of the First Epistle of Peter in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The Philippians must stand fast in one spirit, striving together with one mind for the faith of the gospel; they will make Paul's happiness complete, if they have the same love and have one accord and one mind; the quarrelling Euodias and Syntyche are urged to be of one mind in the Lord ( Php_1:27 ; Php_2:2 ; Php_4:2 ). 1 Likewise. Peter is, in effect, saying that in baptism God said to the man coming direct from heathenism: "Do you accept the terms of my service? This again is frequently said in the New Testament. Then Peter reveals that Jesus' sacrificial death was as a substitutethe righteous (Christ) for the unrighteous (us). But still, as far as unbelief does work, it is just so far death in effect. Tools 1Pe 3:21 They think it strange when you do not rush to join them in the same flood of profligacy and they abuse you for not doing so. A whole Christ is given and needed. In this passage Rendel Harris suggested that the word Enoch was missed out in the copying of Peter's writing and should be put back in. This word introduces us to a special way of looking at the Old Testament. That which God values, the meek, the quiet spirit which in the sight of God is very valuable. Again the matter goes back to the words of Jesus. Upgrade to Bible Gateway Plus to get the best value in digital Bible study. This is not the. It is the foundation for it; and every one who rests on the blood of Christ is surely a Christian; but I repeat that, both for position before God and intelligent perception and power of soul, we need and have much more. This, in fact, is a truth which is ingrained into the New Testament. 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. 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.". Christian humility comes from two things. "Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; neither as being lords over God's heritage." But it is not what the word of God gives us by that converted soul, to whose case I have adverted. 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. "In which" refers back to the spiritual sphere of life in which Jesus Christ now lives (1 Peter 3:18). The idea of the New Testament is not that Jesus descended into hell but that he descended into Hades. And who is he that will harm you, if you are followers of that which is good? sense, to the days of Noah, is very unaccountable; this sense Sacrament is derived from the Latin sacramentum, which means a soldier's oath of loyalty on entering the army. Peter turns to the domestic problems which Christianity inevitably produced. I will set down his own words: Le sentiment qui veut que Jesus Christ soit descendu aux enfers, pour annoncer sa venue aux anciens patriarches, et pour les tirer de cette espece de prison, ou ils Pattendoient si long tems, est indubitable; et nous le regardons comme un article de notre foi: mais on peut douter que ce soit le sens de Saint Pierre en cet endroit. words are to be understood of Christ's going to preach, by his "The just for the unjust,". The prison was death by which men were bound. To him it was a question of not doing what his nature prompted him to do. 1 Peter 2. But we've come to, you know, think of pitiful, as you know a poor cat that's lost an eye or something. There may have been a judgment, but this is not the judgment. 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. And Peter and his friends went away rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer that kind of persecution for Jesus. 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). The rite of baptism doesn't save. The death of Christ upon the Cross, however we explain it, avails to restore the lost relationship between God and man. The basis of the whole matter is in the words of Jesus who prayed for his people that they might all be one, as he and his Father were one ( John 17:21-23). 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). 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. They consider that, because God is unchangeable, He has not a will of His own. 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. We have seen that the attempt at the elimination of this passage fails. We are to rejoice with those who rejoice and to weep with those who weep ( Romans 12:15). It was just before that judgment fell on them, and this because they despised the testimony of Christ through Noah. It is tragic to realize how far men are from realizing this unity in their personal lives and how far the Church is from realizing it within herself. That is an extremely interesting and ingenious suggestion but without doubt it must be rejected. Our relationships with God can never be right, if our relationships with our fellow-men are wrong. Elect of course they were in God's mind from all eternity, but they are sanctified from the first moment that the Holy Ghost opens their eyes to the light of the truth in Christ. Let her feel the protection; let her feel secure; your big, strong arm around her. In divine things it is precisely what shows the power and special character of a Christian's faith. On this is founded the spiritual priesthood, and in consequence we who are His draw near and offer up spiritual sacrifices. Next he proceeds to bring in what had to do with others. It is granted that, even in connection with spiritual gift in the way of speaking, there is such a thing as the natural ability of the person taken into account; but this is not the gift, though it be the suited vehicle for it. It is an effectual work of God's Spirit from the very starting-point of the career of faith. He led the captives from their captivity. of happiness; nor such a gracious manifestation so properly It may seem strange that Peter's advice to wives is six times as long as that to husbands. And Matthew's gospel chapter twenty-seven tells us that the graves of many of the saints were open and they were seen walking in the streets of Jerusalem after His resurrection from the dead. Scripture: 1 Peter 3:1-6. . How important to be courteous. I mean, here's a --here's a kid, you know, high in LSD telling me, Peace, brother. and sat in darkness, and the shadow of death, and, as it were, at But then, to what are they sanctified of the Holy Ghost thus? 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. (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. (vi) Peter sees the work of Christ in terms of complete triumph. It was when He who died went to heaven that Christianity appeared in its full force; and accordingly then came out faith in its finest and truest character. It doesn't save you. Is thy steadfast love declared in the grave, or thy faithfulness in Abaddon? There he says, "Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme; or to governors, as to them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and praise to them that do well.". (i) Baptism is not merely a physical cleansing; it is a spiritual cleansing of the whole heart and soul and life. He is sprinkled with Christ's blood, which gives him confidence and boldness in faith before God, because he knows the certainty of the love that has put away his sins by blood. These things were always true in principle, and never can be touched while man lives on earth. that he was come, and to fill them with dread and terror; but But the wonderful place given to the Christian is that, though we do become the people of God now, whether Jew or Gentile, and although the believing Jew does obtain mercy now, he is not sown on the earth, but called out for heaven, and, in consequence, becomes a pilgrim and stranger here below till Jesus appears. Cato the Censor insisted on simplicity; Lucius Valerius answered: "Why should men grudge women their ornaments and their dress? The Greek for for sins is either huper ( G5228) or peri ( G4012) hamartion ( G266) . 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. acc-pl-fem. (i) There are those who wish to eliminate it altogether. It comes, first, from the sense of creatureliness. A Christian wife of those times lived in a society where she would be tempted to senseless extravagance and where she might well go in fear of the caprices of her heathen husband; but she must live in selfless service, in goodness and in serene trust. they were sometimes so, yet to what purpose should this former That is, our hope arises from being born anew and this new birth comes in some sense thru Jesus' resurrection. It is only a theologian who finds a difficulty. Thus He is in all things glorified through Jesus Christ, "to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever.". 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. Jesus said, "Blessed are ye," and the word "blessed" is happy; "when men persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. They were ever a rebellious people, as we know; and the Christian Jews were in danger of using their Christianity in order to justify insubjection. That the just should suffer for the unjust is an extraordinary thing. So man fell into sin; as the result, lost fellowship with God. 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. All rights reserved. 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. Now I had an interesting experience several years ago. This gives room for all the practical working of Christianity. 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. I do not mean that they may not acquire previously a delusive glory; nor that the antichrist by fraud will not palm himself off as the Messiah, and settle some of them in the land, according toDaniel 11:1-45; Daniel 11:1-45. In the Book of Enoch it is said that he was sent down from heaven to announce to these angels their final doom (Enoch 12: 1) and that he proclaimed that for them, because of their sin, there was neither peace nor forgiveness ever (Enoch 12 and 13). No such words are used, nor is this what he means. For Christ also died once and for all for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands: Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord ( 1 Peter 3:5-6 ): Now I don't expect that you women are going to go this far as to call your husbands "lord", unless it's tongue-in-cheek. 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. He who ascended into Heaven is he who first descended into the lower parts of the earth ( Ephesians 4:9-10). (iii) The whole idea and effectiveness of baptism is dependent on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Angelicus Romanus) of the ninth century with many cursives warrants the omission; but , A, B, C, K, more than fifty cursives, and all the versions but the Arabic of the Parisian Polyglott support the words. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away; but the word of the Lord endureth for ever. They then ceased to be manifestly God's people. Matthew 24:37-39//Luke 17:26-27)." THE SILENT PREACHING OF A LOVELY LIFE ( 1 Peter 3:1-2 ). Gave Him to shed His blood? ton de ph obon auton me ph obhetge ( 2PAPS) mede tarachthete, ( 2PAPS) The Christian ethic never grants a privilege without a corresponding obligation. (a) Peter says that in the Spirit Christ preached to the spirits in prison, who were disobedient in the time when the patience of God waited in the days of Noah, when the ark was being built. 3:15b-16 Always be prepared to make your defence to anyone who calls you to account concerning the hope that is in you; but do so with gentleness and reverence. Such a man is desperately easily hurt. Why did Peter mention Noah? What makes you different? a great many perished. You know, they could hold you down until you drown and it still won't save you. Nor is it only that He comes down from God, but He goes up to God. 1. They were those who were sometimes disobedient, when once the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah. No others are specified; and if it should be maintained that this means that he went down to hell (Hades), or to Sheol, and preached to those who are confined there, it could be inferred from this passage only that he preached to that portion of the lost spirits confined there which belonged to the particular generation in which Noah lived. Moreover, the strange notion of those who think that unbelievers as to the coming of Christ, were after his death freed from their sin, needs no long refutation; for it is an indubitable doctrine of Scripture, that we obtain not salvation in Christ except by faith; then there is no hope left for those who continue to death unbelieving. First he is surrounded by an evil world, but, besides, he has not lost in fact something nearer that is quite as bad as what is in the world. branch of it, his prophetic office, before he appeared in human This particular Greek word is a difficult word to translate. It is not merely the work effected, but salvation revealed; and hence it necessarily awaits the revelation of Jesus Christ. On the other hand, if he gives to Jesus Christ the unique place in his life, the most precious thing for him is his relationship to God and nothing can take that from him. It never places all the responsibility on one side. And big boys don't cry; that is, big boys aren't emotional. He also wanted to assure them of their ultimate triumph in Christ. He really experienced death, and rose again. And the idea is to encourage the young men not to look for a pretty face but to look for a good cook.But the true beauty, beauty that doesn't fade, the beauty that grows with years is that inner beauty. And this is what Peter immediately enlarges on. He that would love life, And see good days, Let him keep his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking guile: Let him turn away from evil and do right; Let him seek peace, and pursue it, For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, And his ears are open to their prayer; But the face of the Lord is against those that do evil. Do I look sharp tonight? A very important development follows in the next verses. They are waiting there for the day of judgment. In, on, among. 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. Therefore there could be no comparison on that score, not even for a Jew. And the apostle guards against the wrong conclusion, that, because in certain things we stand contrasted with the Old Testament saints, there are no grounds in common. It is God's flock; and if a person is charged of the Lord to shepherd His flock, how blessed the trust! The Zealots were the fanatical patriots, who were pledged to liberate their native land by every possible means. in which he went and made a proclamation to those imprisoned spirits. 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. And so we find it in fact and in Scripture. (4) This interpretation accords with the design of the apostle in inculcating the duty of patience and forbearance in trials; in encouraging those whom he addressed to be patient in their persecutions. He said, Boy, you really handled that well, you know. It has two vivid backgrounds. The question is not how far it is made good in the heart of the believer; for it really and equally embraces all believers. He shows that first of all there was this testimony of that which was not for themselves but for us, beginning of course with the converted Jewish remnant, these Christian Jews who believed the gospel which in principle belongs to us of the Gentiles just as much as to them. 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. The Lord spoke of a day when they should know it; but as yet the foundation was not even laid for it. It was to the purpose to direct them to the fact that he was saved as the result of his steadfastness to Him who had commanded him to preach to that ungodly generation. They are going to be judged. Many in repeating the creed have found the phrase "He descended into hell" either meaningless or bewildering, and have tacitly agreed to set it on one side and forget it. situation, because they were intent upon the hope of promised He has always been a fascinating and mysterious person. I mean, it wasn't a --it was a two-way street. 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. Women cannot hold public offices, or priesthoods, or gain triumphs; they have no public occupations. [Note: See Allen P. Ross, Creation and Blessing, pp. 19By which also Peter added this, that we might know that the vivifying power of the Spirit of which he spoke, was not only put forth as to Christ himself, but is also poured forth with regard to us, as Paul shews in Romans 5:5. It may appear singular that in this passage Peter should make mention of those who were unbelieving in the days of Noah, and of baptism as the antitype of the water of the deluge; but this may be explained from the circumstance that . The hour of temptation is near. Its full meaning is met by the interpretation that Christ once preached to the spirits then in prison, to wit, in the days of Noah; that is, that he caused a divine message to be borne to them. For Christ communicated a new nature which loves to obey God's will, which accordingly is given us from conversion, before (and it may be long before) a person enjoys peace. This is just the difference between the Christian and the Jew. to save by translating into etc. But if it is not union with Christ, if not our full place in Him before God, there is a clear statement of our hope of heaven. Different interpreters limit that preaching in different ways. Maybe some of you have some ideas you can share with me.Having devoted six verses to the wives, he now devotes one to the husband. Others, as the Papists, imagine the sense to be, that What, then, can they do but devote their time to adornment and to dress?" And when it is working, it becomes a beautiful combination, and your lives can be enriched and your prayers effective. All this time they are not a people; they are dependent on the will of their Gentile masters. Having been made alive by the Holy Ghost Christ went "In the spirit," that is, in the spiritual form of life, in that part that cannot be put to death, in this way he "entered upon a journey" to accomplish a particular task. word Enoch ( G1802) had dropped out. Instead of improving the intelligibility of the passage (as a co. Albert Barnes' Bible Commentary This is both true and important in its place. 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. Antistius Vetus divorced his wife because he saw her secretly speaking to a freed woman in public. 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. prison, and were saved; though these are manifestly distinguished In short, one may find here and there a truly excellent man, and, we will suppose, a number of godly people. Never do we see salvation in its real force so affirmed apart from resurrection. And then he asks, "And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? opinion, that this is meant of the souls of the Old Testament Why was there the mighty action of the Spirit of God producing such various gifts for profit if they did not create the responsibility to exercise them? And there were traffic coming on my left where I couldn't get around him, so I just laid on my horn. There is no difficulty that I see about it. Somerset Maugham's mother was a very beautiful woman with the world at her feet but his father was unhandsome. 18 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: 19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 20 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. Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers, NT Letters: 1 Peter 3:19 In which he also went and preached (1 Pet. Getting along; you know our prayer life can be hindered by friction within the home. Compare also Jesus implication that angels do not procreate in Matthew 22:30. 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.
