What Peter is saying is: "Love goodness with that passionate intensity with which the most fanatical patriot loves his country." She comes up and grabs me and starts calling me a filthy viper and all kinds of stuff, you know. 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. It so happens that in the Greek version of the Old Testament the regular phrase for a sin-offering is peri ( G4012) hamartias ( G266) (Hamartias, G266, is the singular of hamartion, G266) , as, for instance, in Leviticus 5:7 and Leviticus 6:30. But the lower obedience is absorbed by the higher one when they come into collision; and this is the only seeming exception. In the word of God, then, we find that the accomplishment of the prophecy supposes an earthly place, with visible power and glory given to the Jewish people. 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. For, in the nature of things, he may lose these things at any moment. The man that would make all his scripture to be the epistle to the Ephesians would soon find himself in want of Peter. 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. 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.

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. "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." The men do not have an advantage over the women or vice versa; as far as in Christ, we are all one. Besides that, not only is there holiness in drawing near to God, but royal dignity stamped upon the believer. 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. 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. Therefore there could be no comparison on that score, not even for a Jew. Will it tell of thy faithfulness?" It is by the silent preaching of the loveliness of her life that she must break down the barriers of prejudice and hostility, and win her husband for her new Master. They are waiting there for the day of judgment. If people are devoted to Christ and are always ready to give others an explanation for their devotion, they will not fear their persecutors (14-15). Certainly the Jews of old were rarely good subjects. disobedient ones, are here spoken of; and though it is only said "If any man speak, [let it be] as oracles of God; if any man minister, [let it be] as of the ability which God giveth." He went and preached unto the spirits in prison. 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. It speaks of the descent into Hades and the very word descent suggests a three-storey universe in which heaven is localized above the sky and Hades beneath the earth. What Christ was to them then was all: not in the least did any suspect (for indeed it was not yet true) that any were in Him. C. E. B. Cranfield writes so finely of this that we cannot do other than quote his whole comment in full, lengthy though it is: "The New Testament never treats this agreeing in Christ as an unnecessary though highly desirable spiritual luxury, but as something essential to the true being of the Church. 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. all this, and which Beza, with others, observes, the apostle He has everlasting life now, and is a heavenly person even while upon the earth. There is no kind of a hierarchy in the spiritual realm. So Herodotus, to these things they spake, saying - for they said. He tells her something very simple--nothing else than to be a good wife. incarnate, he was before Abraham, he was in the days of Noah; and All unbelief therefore will be shown plainly to be of the flesh, not of the Spirit, and never excusable. For Christ also hath once suffered for sins ( 1 Peter 3:18 ). In the world of the Greeks and the Romans it is interesting to collect the references to personal adornments. So don't lose hope. Being sanctified of the Spirit, we are called to obey as Christ obeyed. This too is of the greatest importance for us all to remember and seek to realize by faith. Paul will tell you so, even after he shows that the Christian is dead to the law; and then a term is used to show that he does not at all mean that the righteousness of the law is not fulfilled in us, but that it is. (ii) Second, Peter sets sympathy. 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. He is going to judge them in the next world. I do not say that there are no limits. of the Vulgate before me, the clause is thus: In quo et his qui in carcere erant SPIRITU venient praedicavit; "in which, coming by the Spirit, he preached to those who were in prison." 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. So far was their believing in Christ from taking them out of the people, it is then alone that they became, a people. 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). That is an extremely interesting and ingenious suggestion but without doubt it must be rejected. So how we live is extremely important, just as important as what we say. and patriarchs, under the former dispensation: others think the There may be unpopularity, persecution, sacrifice for principle and the deliberate choosing of the difficult way, the necessary discipline and toil of the Christian life. All rights reserved. For this reason, that very few were saved then, whilst. The word for "to bring" is prosagein ( G4317) . Accordingly he is exceedingly annoyed because one of the most spiritual of his congregation goes away, though it may be to follow God's word more faithfully; and no doubt there is a great deal of pain and feeling on the part of the member of the congregation who is leaving his minister. Were they the only ones in purgatory who could be beneficially affected by his preaching? 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. It is not so much that he actually quotes them, as that he could not have written the passage at all unless the Old Testament had been in his mind. Start your free trial today! 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. 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. It is used in the New Testament, with reference to the future world, only in the following places: 1 Peter 3:19, Preached unto the spirits in prison; and Revelation 20:7, Satan shall be loosed put of his prison.. That is the outward framework of the gift, which latter is suited no doubt to that ability; but the gift itself is the power of the Spirit according to the grace of Christ. From the time that this new nature is given, the purpose of the heart is to obey. (it isn't the washing away of the filth of the flesh, but it is the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ ( 1 Peter 3:21 ): So the true baptism is a matter of my heart.Now I do believe that every one who believes in Jesus Christ should be baptized in water. From the whole we learn that, (1.) Now there need be no hesitation in declaring that the phrase does not mean God's heritage at all, but another idea wholly different. "Baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the request 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.". 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 . "As each man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. It only makes confusion in jumbling up law and gospel, to the detriment of both, and indeed to the destruction of all the beauty and force of truth. place; some referring it to such in Noah's time, to whom the What was the substance of this preaching we are not here told, the word itself (which is not the same as, e.g., in 1Peter 1:25) only means to publish or proclaim like a crier or herald; and as the spirits are said to have been disobedient and in prison, some have thought that Christ went to proclaim to them the certainty of their damnation! 3:8-12 Finally, you must all be of one mind; you must have sympathy with each other and you must live in brotherly love; you must be compassionate and humble; you must not return evil for evil, nor insult for insult; on the contrary, you must return blessing; for it was to give and to inherit blessing that you were called. So, then, even in suffering the Christian is still blessed. (a) It is argued that Jesus preached in Hades only to the spirits of the men who were disobedient in the days of Noah. (iii) His defence must be given with reverence. Immediately the idea of being brought to safety through the water turns Peter's thoughts to Christian baptism, which is also a bringing to safety through the water. The Zealots were the fanatical patriots, who were pledged to liberate their native land by every possible means. This doctrine of the descent into Hades, as we must now call it, is based on two phrases in our present passage. It might easily be interpreted as if it meant a right for any one to speak. One thing is clear, sympathy and selfishness cannot coexist. The text of 1 Pet 3:19-20 is indeed difficult, but not incomprehensible. ( Psalms 30:9). 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. Nor is it only that He comes down from God, but He goes up to God. They too, those who had been before them, had been put to the proof in this way. This I have long believed to be the sense of this difficult passage, and no other that I have seen is so consistent with the whole scope of the place. For the time that is past is sufficient to have done what the Gentiles will to do, to have lived a life of licentiousness, lust, drunkenness, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatry. Now that word has changed in the usage, too. It was in the Spirit that Enoch also went and preached to the imprisoned spirits who had disobeyed at the time when God's patience held out during the construction of the ark in the days of Noah." In the New Testament the corresponding noun prosagoge ( G4318) is three times used. And John got hold of her and dragged her off as she was railing, going around the corner, you know. They were apt to rise against oppression and to fail in obedience to a superior, at least among the heathen. For it is better, if the will of God be so, that you suffer for well doing, than for evil doing ( 1 Peter 3:17 ). Others feel He announced condemnation to the unbelievers. It is God's instruction: "You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tent of meeting" ( Exodus 29:4).

This at once gives us a true and vivid picture of what Christianity is, of signal importance for the Jews to weigh, because they always looked forward for a visible Messiah, the royal Son of David the object, no doubt, of all reverence, homage, and loyalty for all Israel. Do you accept its privileges and promises, and do you undertake its responsibilities and its demands?" "[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. 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. They are not yet finished; and they must be punctually fulfilled. Though the judicious Calmet holds with his Church this opinion, yet he cannot consider the text of St. Peter as a proof of it. Noah was preaching a message that God had given him, and in this sense Jesus Christ spoke through him (cf. gain access to 50+ premium resources to enhance your study of Scripture. In 1 Peter 3:19 it states that Christ 'went and preached to the spirits in prison'. And these are the things that convince the Moslem of the truth of Christianity.So Paul is declaring that our lifestyle is all-important. I, indeed, allow that Christ by means of his apostles went by his Spirit to those who were kept as it were in prison; but this exposition appears incorrect on several accounts: First, Peter says that Christ went to spirits, by which he means souls separated from their bodies, for living men are never called spirits; and secondly, what Peter repeats in the fourth chapter on the same subject, does not admit of such an allegory. You are the strong one, give her that strength. This is Christianity. Never should I for one blame their tenacity in adhering to the truth and duty of advancing in practical holiness, or what they call sanctification. In the Revelation the song of praise comes from every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth and under the earth ( Revelation 5:13). Now you may be baptized by sprinkling, by dunking, by full immersion, and still not be saved. Think of the power that brought it into existence. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. Accordingly their land became the possession of the Gentiles; and so it has gone on to this day. character which will not agree with righteous men, and prophets, He is no longer waiting for the sprinkling of that precious blood, he is already sprinkled with it before 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. "Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul." In divine things it is precisely what shows the power and special character of a Christian's faith. He must be considerate and sensitive to the feelings of his wife. This is, indeed, a more tolerable sense than the former; And this "prison" must not be understood (with Bp. Second, it is improbable that the "sons of God" were angels. 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). 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. And the answer, before witnesses was: "Yes." If he, though perfectly just, why should not we, who are all criminals? Partner with StudyLight.org as God uses us to make a difference for those displaced by Russia's war on Ukraine. In this passage Peter has three great things to say about baptism. You know, they could hold you down until you drown and it still won't save you. Submit yourself to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether to king as supreme; governors, unto them sent toward the punishment of evildoers, so is the will of God, that in well doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men ( 1 Peter 2:13-15 ): So the idea of submitting to one another in love. But in the consideration of the text of any Greek author, scholars sometimes use a process called emendation. Bear in mind that the one is just as truly Christian as the other. He who does not love remains in death. Such conduct will silence slander and disarm criticism. serving divers lusts and pleasures, to which they were in If persons take the actual application as the fulfilment of the prophecies, it in fact not only nullifies the future of scripture, but destroys the beauty and point of the present; for what the apostle intimates is, that they had obtained mercy now, though none were yet sown in the earth. And here it is well to observe, as an important fact to be recognised, that salvation in Peter's epistle looks onward to the future, where it is not otherwise qualified. Julius Caesar bought for Servilia a pearl which cost him 65,250 British pounds. 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. By which also he went and . He was tenderhearted. He was opposed, reviled, disbelieved, and, we may suppose, persecuted. And she's always fishing for "Honey, you're beautiful. but it would be tedious to reckon up the several different senses of this place; some referring it to such in Noah's time, to whom the Gospel was preached, and who repented; and though they suffered in their bodies, in the general deluge, yet their souls were saved; whereas the apostle calls them all, "the world of the ungodly", 2 Peter 2:5 and others, to the eight souls that were shut up in the ark, as in a prison, and were saved; though these are manifestly distinguished in the text from the disobedient spirits. There is a wider and, if possible, a deeper thought than the measure of our walk, which, after all, differs in all the children of God, no two being exactly the same, and all of us depending on self-judgment as well as growth in the knowledge of the Lord and of His grace. But this was never the case with Jesus. Personal / Relative Pronoun - Dative Neuter Singular, Verb - Aorist Participle Passive - Nominative Masculine Singular, Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular. That, of course, we call hypocrisy and that has been the bane and the curse of the church. The Jew, as such, was bound to obey the law. Even in the Jewish synagogue they had no share in the service, and in the orthodox synagogue still have none. Such is not., the topic of Peter; it had been given to another instrument more fitted for revealing the heavenly position of the believer. Amplified: If you are censured and suffer abuse [because you bear] the name of Christ, blessed [are youhappy, fortunate, to be envied, with life-joy, and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of your outward condition], because the Spirit of glory, the Spirit of God, is resting upon you. How little, it seems, the Old Testament prophets understood their own prophecies! This accordingly gave occasion for God to exercise a new kind of choice. "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. 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. I have lost the cream of my congregation." Now I had an interesting experience several years ago. And, indeed, you find this not merely in Peter but in Paul. In the ancient world chivalry to women was well-nigh unknown. Others, as the Papists, imagine the sense to be, that Christ, at his death, went in his human soul, into a place they call "Limbus Patrum", which they suppose is meant by the prison here, and delivered the souls of the Old Testament saints and patriarchs from thence, and carried them with him to heaven; but this sense is also false, because, as before observed, not the human soul of Christ, but his divine nature, is designed by the Spirit; nor is there any such place as here feigned, in which the souls of Old Testament saints were, before the death of Christ; for they were in peace and rest, in the kingdom of heaven, in Abraham's bosom, inheriting the promises, and not in a prison; besides, the text says not one word of the delivering of these spirits out of prison, only of Christ's preaching to them: add to all this, and which Beza, with others, observes, the apostle speaks of such as had been disobedient, and unbelievers; a character which will not agree with righteous men, and prophets, and patriarchs, under the former dispensation: others think the words are to be understood of Christ's going to preach, by his apostles, to the Gentiles, as in Ephesians 2:17 who were in a most miserable condition, strangers to the covenants of promise, and destitute of the hope of salvation, and sat in darkness, and the shadow of death, and, as it were, at the gates of hell; were in the bonds of iniquity, and dead in sin, and had been for long time past foolish and disobedient, serving divers lusts and pleasures, to which they were in bondage. (ii) Peter goes on to speak about the Christian attitude to suffering. An idea similar to the one here expressed may be found in 2 Peter 2:4, though the word prison does not there occur: God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; and in Jude 1:6, And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains, under darkness, unto the judgment of the great day. The allusion, in the passage before us, is undoubtedly to confinement or imprisonment in the invisible world; and perhaps to those who are reserved there with reference to some future arrangement - for this idea enters commonly into the use of the word prison.
