But his attitude was such that, you know, I --I just sort of chuckled to myself and said, Well, why not have peace, you know.So don't render "railing for railing". These Christian Jews were not sown in the earth. This is founded on the very principle of Christianity itself; that is, doing good, suffering for it, and taking it patiently. Some use the word sacrament. 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. For less than $5/mo. And though, does not speak with such distinctness, it must not thus be understood as though he mixed together the righteous and the wicked without any difference, but he only wishes to teach, that a, By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison, Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers. (ii) He must be chivalrous. "[32] Speaking of the preaching of the apostles themselves, Paul said that Christ "came and preached peace to you that were afar off" (Ephesians 2:17); but Christ preached to the Ephesians through human instruments, nevertheless it is said that he "came and preached" to them. c. judgment, which is an eternal one; nor is there any salvation, or 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. ON THE TURF. We may put it this way. Again we have an exhortation to the elders (1 Peter 5:1-14). (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. But it did not matter whether one gave silver or gold, it was all corruptible; and to what did it come at last? Thus we would expect that evil angels are in view, but does what Peter said about them confirm this identification? It was, and still is, no uncommon sight in the East to see the man riding on a donkey while the woman trudged by his side. by all sorts of circumstances, and above all by the evil of our old nature that surrounds it, in Him, as we know, absolutely perfect and without mixture. Under Roman law a woman had no rights. But the conjecture fails to do this. The creature is utterly ruined in every way, and with so much the speedier manifestation the more spiritual the trial. At any rate the most important part is noticed; and in particular the great social bond, wives and husbands (1 Peter 3:1-22). The argument is that before Christ that was indeed so but he opened the gates of heaven to mankind; and, when he did so, he went to Hades and told the glad news to all the righteous men of all past generations and led them out to God. So I do not believe in what is called baptismal regeneration. Without Jesus' death for our sins on the cross, we could not come to God. Second, it is improbable that the "sons of God" were angels. It comes, first, from the sense of creatureliness. word Enoch ( G1802) had dropped out. ( Psalms 30:9). 1:10 ). And so in the challenging of the authority, they then feel they have to assert their manhood. Do I look sharp tonight? Tools 1Pe 3:21 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. It is not here blessing them in heavenly places in Christ. Not at all. 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). The meaning is that there is nothing in earth and heaven outside the empire of Christ. Such a principle may be very well for man; but responsibility is the word for men of God, "as each man hath received the gift." Sanctification of the Spirit is altogether distinct from that gift. Another MS., written about A. D. 1370, is the same as the printed copy. 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. 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 . Those who died in faith went to the place of comfort and were comforted by father Abraham. "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 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. "For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. In Greek this had a specialized meaning. And big boys don't cry; that is, big boys aren't emotional. 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. When Christ died, he died once and for all ( Romans 6:10). all this, and which Beza, with others, observes, the apostle Several reasons support this view: (a) Peter calls Noah a herald of righteousness (2 Peter 2:5), where herald represents Greek kryx, preacher, which corresponds to the noun kryss, proclaim, in 1 Peter 3:19. The prison was death by which men were bound. When he refers it to the present, it is the salvation of souls, not of bodies. 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. But here the apostle speaks of none of these things, but only of the Spirit separating the saints to obey as Jesus obeyed, and to be sprinkled with His blood. Let a man so act that his conscience is clear. There is not the slightest excuse for misinterpreting the language, or for allowing anything unknown to the rest of scripture. He said they are in prison (cf. The Christian does not belong to the world, and consequently is not bound by accidents of time. quoted above, as closid togyder proves. In the ancient world chivalry to women was well-nigh unknown. Men may be wooed into the Christian faith when they cannot be bullied into it. 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. How is it that He has been pleased thus to call us? This is notorious to every one even to themselves. How important to be courteous. It may seem strange that Peter's advice to wives is six times as long as that to husbands. Others feel He announced condemnation to the unbelievers. She had no kind of independent existence and no kind of mind of her own, and her husband could divorce her almost at caprice, so long as he returned her dowry. To make the spirit by which Christ preached, as here, to have been his human spirit, or anything else except the Holy Spirit, involves men in making distinctions that are simply not discernible in the word of God. [Note: E.g., Michaels, pp. It is not that the Jews were not elect as a nation, but therein precisely it is where they stand in contrast with the Christian. This is the reason why the appearing of Jesus is brought in here. They would rather have placed the sprinkling of the blood first, and obedience next. I'll get even with you. That He might be able to wash and cleanse you from your sin in order that you might have the purposes of God accomplished in your life as you fellowship with God. It is almost impossible for us to realize what life must have been for the wife who was brave enough to become a Christian. As all know, many things were allowed then for the hardness of the heart, which are thoroughly condemned now. "We are begotten again," says he, "to a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." Think of the power that brought it into existence. The idea of the New Testament is not that Jesus descended into hell but that he descended into Hades. 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. (c) It is argued that Christ preached only to those who had been righteous and that he led them out of Hades into the paradise of God. Christ has suffered for sins; He has had there, if we may so say, a monopoly; and there let it end: why should we? 1 Peter 3:19 Parallel Verses [ See commentary ] 1 Peter 3:19, NIV: After being made alive, he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits-- 1 Peter 3:19, ESV: in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, 1 Peter 3:19, KJV: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 1 Peter 3:19, NASB: in which He also went and made proclamation to the spirits in . It is Paul's dream that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things in earth and things under the earth ( Php_2:10 ). Seminar. 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. In any presentation of the Christian case and in any argument for the Christian faith, the accent should be the accent of love. There can be nothing without this: impossible to have any holy and permanent blessing for the soul without it; nevertheless this is not what is said. 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. . You see, God created you in the beginning for fellowship. 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. Pity is of the very essence of God and compassion of the very being of Jesus Christ; a pity so great that God sent his only Son to die for men, a compassion so intense that it took Christ to the Cross. When we enter upon Church membership, God asks us: "Do you accept the conditions of my service, with all privileges and all its responsibilities, with all its promises and all its demands?" But to take very simple and obvious examples, the Passover Lamb and the scapegoat, who bore the sins of the people, are types of Jesus; and the work of the High Priest in making sacrifice for the sins of the people is a type of his saving work. 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. So Peter takes up a passage of Leviticus, and shows that it is strictly true yea, if one can employ such an expression, more true (of course meaning by this more manifestly true) under the Christian than under the Jewish system. "The dead do not praise the Lord, nor do any that go down into silence" ( Psalms 115:17). ". Why? The more usual fault of those who copied the scriptures was that they added words. But, laying aside the physical categories of this doctrine, we can find in it truths which are eternally valid and precious, three in particular. Why did He do it? It was the sign of a good woman that she must see as little, hear as little and ask as little as possible. This word introduces us to a special way of looking at the Old Testament. And I was really upset. "Dost thou work wonders for the dead? There was a term of patience assigned: "Yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years." 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. That's always a better thing. Christ died once and for all for sins. It is not often that words are thus left out. Is this, you know, do you like this outfit? Persons ought not to speak unless they have a certainty that what they wish to say is not only true (this is not what is said) but the actual will of God nor the occasion. 20:7 ) when the Apostle Peter wrote this epistle; so that Now this ought to be a great comfort even to the feeblest of God's children, not an alarm. Whose adorning let it not be that outward [adorning] of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. Others, as the Papists, imagine the sense to be, that Someone once asked her: "Why do you remain faithful to that ugly little man you married?" Because of it, all who trust in Christ are brought to His Father. Certainly this mode of speaking would be most unsuitable. 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. He tells them that they must be of one mind and must live in peace ( 2 Corinthians 13:11). as some, to preach to the devils and damned spirits, that they And so, when they see that they have nothing else than to be bedfellows of men, they begin to beautify themselves and put all their hopes on that. The word is a somewhat difficult one; but I believe the force is that it is what conscience wants and asks for from God. John dragging her. For it was thus in days of old the holy women, who placed their hopes in God, adorned themselves in submission to their husbands. Here, I. Those who hold this view often go on to argue that, since these sinners were desperately disobedient, so much so that God sent the flood and destroyed them ( Genesis 6:12-13), we may believe that no man is outside the mercy of God. Wherever there is a real work of God's Spirit not merely a testimony to the conscience but an arousing of it effectually before God the sanctification of the Spirit is made good. How little, it seems, the Old Testament prophets understood their own prophecies! 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. I love you. 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). Since He came and showed the perfect pattern, it was less than ever the time to sanction disobedience; it was more than ever unbecoming to shirk the path of suffering. The point is this--as the Jews saw it, only the priests had the right of close access to God. There are three distinct truths in these verses, as has been often remarked, and most clearly, as we have seen. Getting along; you know our prayer life can be hindered by friction within the home. for they were in peace and rest, in the kingdom of heaven, in There's an important, that the husband recognize the weaknesses of the wife and honor her as a weaker vessel; watching over her, taking care of her, shielding her.As I have said, basically in marriage God has two rules: one for the wife, one for the husband.

And that's the message here in Acts 14:8-20. It may well be that we ought to think of this as a picture painted in terms of poetry rather than a doctrine stated in terms of theology. This could save nobody; but what baptism represents does save. ! 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. The priestly sacrifices in the Temple have to be repeated daily but Christ made the perfect sacrifice once and for all when he offered himself up ( Hebrews 7:27). Want the Verse of the Day sent to your inbox? proclaimed to the spirits in prison This short phrase raises several difficult issues for the interpreter: 1) the identity of the spirits in prison (v. 19), 2) the reasons for their imprisonment, 3) the location of the prison where Christ went to preach, 4) the content of Christs proclamation, 5) the relationship of preaching to the spirits (v. 19) with preaching to those who are dead (4:6), 6) and the possible allusions to biblical (Gen 69; Jude) and 7) extrabiblical traditions (such as the Jewish work called 1 Enoch), [extrabiblical A catch-all term to refer to ancient literary and archaeological evidence that is not part of the Bible, but might provide evidence related to the Bible, its world, and biblical people. In Ephesians chapter four, Paul tells us that "He who has ascended is the same one who first of all descended into the lower parts of the earth. They have to bear in mind first that the flock is God's. The word for "to bring" is prosagein ( G4317) . In divine things it is precisely what shows the power and special character of a Christian's faith. 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. The Jew, as such, was bound to obey the law. So he says these very spirits which are spoken of were "once disobedient, when the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was preparing, wherein few, that is eight souls, were saved through water.". Christ neither went into this prison, nor preached in it, nor to It means that no man who ever lived is outside the grace of God. And really, that's what the kid did; Bless you, peace, brother, shalom. and we answer; "Yes." 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. Pearls were loved most of all. That government may differ in character and depth; there may be at a fitting moment a far closer dealing with souls (as undoubtedly this is the case since redemption). 5. The conditions of our own age tend to blunt the edge of the mind to sensitiveness in pity. God has raised Him from the dead and given Him glory. On the other method of interpretation, we can suggest a reason why they were particularly specified. I'm thinking about a television station locally here. God would bring Peters readers safely through their trials just as He had brought Noah safely through his trials into a whole new world. They watch. And it becomes a beautiful symbol.But if it has not happened in my heart, it cannot happen by the ritual. Gentiles, in the times of the apostles: add to which, that the 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. But then lest people make a mistake, he points out; it isn't the physical ritual. Was the message brought to them while in prison, or at some previous period? When did Jesus make this proclamation? International Standard Version. In our case it is all through Jesus. It is after the pattern, not of a subject with a sovereign, but of a child's dependence on a parent. The principle, however, is sound; and may we heed it in conscience, looking to the Lord's grace in our weakness. And as he is writing in his own little exhortations here, he goes back and he quotes a portion of Psalm 34 , about three or four verses out of Psalm 34 . It may well be that when he compares himself with his fellow-men, he has nothing to fear from the comparison. saints, who were (en After the one, and before the other, the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven is the power of Christian blessedness, and as we know also of the church, no less than of preaching the gospel everywhere. spirits out of prison, only of Christ's preaching to them: add to The function of the High Priest, and Jesus Christ is the perfect High Priest, is to offer sacrifice for sins ( Hebrews 5:1; Hebrews 5:3). Still the Christian does need the effect of the resurrection of Jesus following up the sprinkling of His blood I do not say the resurrection without His blood, still less the glory without either. ton de ph obon auton me ph obhetge ( 2PAPS) mede tarachthete, ( 2PAPS) 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. in which also to the spirits in prison having gone he did preach, in which he went and made a proclamation to those imprisoned spirits. That is to say, it is not simply the blood of Christ, which indeed is never the meaning of baptism; still less is it the life of Christ: baptism means nothing of the sort. That only creates, you know, that only builds and let's you read, you know --there's so many nuts on the highway today. 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. God himself.". Studying the book of 2 Peter 3; shows a significant summary of the history, time and relevant details according to the bible's acts based onBenson Joseph - Bible Commentary and reading parallely the bible's version New King James Version. Who is gone into heaven, and is at the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him ( 1 Peter 3:22 ). But if the word prison be preferred, it would not be unsuitable; for, as while they lived, the Law, according to Paul, (Galatians 3:23,) was a sort of prison in which they were kept; so after death they must have felt the same desire for Christ; for the spirit of liberty had not as yet been fully given. Thence, we see, they did speak of these very things. 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! All this was thoroughly in season; and after it, as we are told, the blindness was taken away, and he was filled with the Holy Ghost. God required no more blood, no more death. The New Testament is completely sure that on the Cross something happened which never needs to happen again and that in that happening sin is finally defeated. in which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison. We have already seen that in the ancient world women had no part in public life whatsoever; they had nothing to pass their time; for that reason it was sometimes argued that they must be allowed an interest in dress and adornment. There is tupos ( G5179) , type, which means a seal, and there is antitupos ( G499) , antitype, which means the impression of the seal. "The just for the unjust,". American Standard Version. 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." 3:18-22 For Christ also died once and for all for our sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God. At the same time, the day is not yet come for the fulfilment of the prophecies as a whole. whereas real service of the saints is as precious in its place as any speaking can be. place; some referring it to such in Noah's time, to whom the All rights reserved. But then, again, as long as Christ was here, it could not be exactly hope. Thus he shows that even if you look at those that are dead, there was no difference.
