1 peter 3:19 greek

Just you know, if he had gotten out railing, I'm sure I would have jumped out of the car and ran up and grabbed him and told him what a stupid move that was, you know. I have every confidence of that. But, laying aside the physical categories of this doctrine, we can find in it truths which are eternally valid and precious, three in particular. "Dost thou work wonders for the dead? ( Psalms 6:5). There we have not merely the blessed Saviour who in unspeakable love comes down and attracts the heart, and searches the conscience, but He settles all for us with God by redemption. transition from the times of the apostles, according to this Where is each to be proved? Of course it was Christ, which, after all, was far more important in one sense than the work He wrought for bringing us to God. Still others hold that He announced good news to the saved among them. "What profit is there in my death if I go down to the pit? Gospel was preached, and who repented; and though they suffered For over three decades after the Crucifixion, Peter seems to have had significant interaction with those who spoke Greek. As was natural for him, Peter sums the matter up by quoting Psalms 34:1-22, with its picture of the man whom God receives and the man whom God rejects. It is almost impossible for us to realize what life must have been for the wife who was brave enough to become a Christian. It must be remembered that at this stage of the Church's history we are still dealing with adult baptism, the baptism of people who had come straight from heathenism into Christianity and who were taking upon themselves a new way of life. They speak what is somewhat more probable, who say, that the redemption obtained by Christ availed the dead, who in the time of Noah were long unbelieving, but repented a short time before they were drowned by the deluge. What was its content? of the Vulgate which I have seen in reading spiritibus, "to the spirits.". personal ministry of Noah, and by the building of the ark, to in Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers, NT Letters: 1 Peter 3:19 In which he also went and preached (1 Pet. word Enoch ( G1802) had dropped out. A man may have more than one attitude to goodness. 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. I admit it requires faith; but then the Lord cannot but look for faith in Christian people. In regard to this doctrine there have always been differing attitudes amongst thinkers. "The dead do not praise the Lord, nor do any that go down into silence" ( Psalms 115:17). So you, husbands don't try to pounce on this scripture and use it as a club to beat your wives in submission. God has raised Him from the dead and given Him glory. For Christ also died once and for all for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God. If he, though perfectly just, why should not we, who are all criminals? In this case, however, it is difficult to see the purpose of the digression, or what could have brought the subject into St. Peter's mind. "Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul." The word used here would be appropriate to such a message as Noah brought to his contemporaries, or to any communication which God made to people. Let him meet criticism with a life which is beyond reproach. Least of all can the Jews be said to be sown in the land of Palestine. Those who hold this view often go on to say that, because of Christ, there is now no time spent in the shadows of Hades and the way to paradise is open as soon as this world closes on us. 3:13-15a Who will hurt you, if you are ardent lovers of goodness? Men may be wooed into the Christian faith when they cannot be bullied into it. Thus the passage is sufficiently plain. That only creates, you know, that only builds and let's you read, you know --there's so many nuts on the highway today. It is practical; and holiness costs suffering in this world. To proclaim, herald, preach. 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). 3:3-6 Let not your adornment be an outward thing of braided hair and ornaments of gold and wearing of robes, but let it be an adornment of the inward personality of the heart, wrought by the unfading loveliness of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. And the answer, before witnesses was: "Yes." 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. In other words, Peter is not preaching something he didn't practice, but he did this very same thing himself. What had Christ not gone through in the same path? Here the New Testament speaks with unmistakable definiteness and with almost frightening directness. It doesn't hurt, but it pays big dividends. Nor is there any reason to fear that silence in such a case would inflict a real loss on the church of God. (i) He lays it down that the work of Christ was unique and never need be repeated. This I deny altogether. Now all this is here judged and set aside as quite wrong The elders are exhorted and warned. What a place for the Christian! The hearers. in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, To report dead links, typos, or html errors or suggestions about making these resources more useful use the convenient, Baker Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology, Hastings' Dictionary of the New Testament, Watson's Biblical & Theological Dictionary, International Standard Bible Encyclopedia. Such was the ordering of matters under God's hand for both. 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 was during the height of the hippie thing around here where these hippies had these old vans and held together with bailing wire, you know; material things didn't mean anything to them, paint all over them. That is an extremely interesting and ingenious suggestion but without doubt it must be rejected. According to this none ought ever to speak unless he has a thorough conviction that he is giving out God's mind and message, as suited for that time and those souls. Yet the Christian life has a certain blessedness which runs through it all. The saints are chosen through sanctification of the Spirit unto obedience. But there's an interesting proverb that says, "A soft answer turns away wrath" ( Proverbs 15:1 ). Holy Bible, New International Version, NIV Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc. Used by permission. The true beauty isn't that which you put on outwardly but the true beauty is that which is inward, which shines out.I do not believe that Peter is intending here to issue a prohibition against the ladies looking nice. All this time they are not a people; they are dependent on the will of their Gentile masters. How is it that He has been pleased thus to call us? bodies; and especially that carnal and unconverted men are ever 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. Have you ever imagined how much power that must be? This would completely do away with the idea of the descent into Hades. That we receive the peace we need as Christians is mainly connected, not with His coming out from God, but with His going back to God; as it is said here, "Who by him do believe in God that" what? sense, to the days of Noah, is very unaccountable; this sense Peter does not tell the wife to preach or to argue. A second group believes Jesus preached to Noahs sinful generation while Noah was living on the earth. So guilty man cannot but quake, still by scepticism he may reason himself out of his fears, or he can find a religion that soothes and destroys his conscience. Hair was waved and dyed, sometimes black, more often auburn. Some of these say He extended an offer of salvation to them. (b) If we look at Moffatt's translation, we find something quite different. I therefore have no doubt but Peter speaks generally, that the manifestation of Christs grace was made to godly spirits, and that they were thus endued with the vital power of the Spirit. Do men wonder at one's abstaining? (ii) Second, Peter sets sympathy. "Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy." 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. Far better is it, then, to be "kept by the power of God through faith." 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. But there is that which never fails, "the power of God through faith," by which the believer is kept to the end. As time went on, there emerged the idea of stages and divisions in this shadowland. He sacrificed himself to restore our lost relationship with God. Because they were dead and disembodied when the apostle speaks of them, therefore he properly calls them spirits now in prison; not that they were in prison when Christ preached to them, as the vulgar Latin translation and the popish expositors pretend. Various are the senses given of this passage: some say, that And in the act of being baptized the man answered: "Yes.". 2:17 ) who were in a most miserable condition, strangers to "For you," says he, "who are kept;" for Christian doctrine is not, as men so often say, that of saints persevering. 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. Then this explanation cannot be right. (Men ( G3303) and de ( G1161) are what are called particles; they are not translated but merely mark the contrast between, sarki, G4561, and pneumati, G4151) . "All power," He said, "is given to me in heaven and in earth." It is a great mistake to suppose that the blood there is used as a sign of the putting away of sin. It is indeed a forcible and, in general, a faithful version, but it not seldom fails in accuracy. "He," it is said of Christ, "gave them gifts, to each man according to his several ability." The Romanists say that it was while in prison; that Christ, after he was put to death in the body, was still kept alive in his spirit, and went and proclaimed his gospel to those who were in prison. Pliny saw Lollia Paulina, wife of Caligula, wearing a dress so covered with pearls and emeralds that it had cost 450,000 British pounds. And she feels that security and she needs to feel that security. Accordingly their land became the possession of the Gentiles; and so it has gone on to this day. It is granted that there is a sanctification in scripture which bears on practice. 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. 1 Peter 3:19. 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. And it becomes a beautiful symbol.But if it has not happened in my heart, it cannot happen by the ritual. Another MS., written about A. D. 1370, is the same as the printed copy. 2 Corinthians 5:20). There is an instance of what I referred to that the essential moral principles. He then went to the place where evil spirits are imprisoned awaiting final judgment and announced his victory (18-19). prison, and were saved; though these are manifestly distinguished And he, it was dangerous moving, I mean, he shouldn't have pulled out in front of me, but he did and the thing died. Who ever loved a person that he never saw? I'll get even with you. Simply to believe in Christ may make a man quite happy, but it never of itself gives solid unbreakable peace. 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." I admit that what is in the Bible requires faith; and this is as it should be. This is the point that Justin Martyr fastened on long ago: "The Lord, the Holy God of Israel, remembered his dead, those sleeping in the earth, and came down to them to tell them the good news of salvation." They are waiting there for the day of judgment. The elders are told to feed or shepherd the flock of God which was among them, exercising the oversight, not by necessity, but willingly; not for base gain, but readily, etc. So here we find that the Christian Jews, who might have exonerated themselves from the burden laid on them by their heathen masters, are earnestly exhorted by the apostle Peter to do their bidding for the Lord's sake. Such is not., the topic of Peter; it had been given to another instrument more fitted for revealing the heavenly position of the believer. And who [is] he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? She comes up and grabs me and starts calling me a filthy viper and all kinds of stuff, you know. 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. If that is what he meant, then the figure harmonizes perfectly with Jesus' preaching to the citizens of Nazareth and others of that generation, referring to his message as "a proclamation of release to the captives," that is, the captives in sin (Luke 4:18). Wherever the saints have shown faith or unbelief, whether hindered by the world, the flesh, or the devil, whatever the particular snare that has drawn them aside, all will be made plain then. They were prepared to take their lives in their hands, to sacrifice ease and comfort, home and loved ones, in their passionate love for their country. He was always moved by the needs of people. There is the suffering in which we are involved because of our humanity. It says that Jesus went and preached to the spirits who are in prison ( 1 Peter 3:19); and it speaks of the gospel being preached to the dead ( 1 Peter 4:6). And, indeed, you find this not merely in Peter but in Paul. 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. But mark, "To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they did minister the things which are now reported to you in virtue of the Holy Ghost sent from heaven. In Christ Jesus the dividing walls are down, and Jew and Greek are united into one ( Ephesians 2:13-14). It is not a question of that; but of a soul quickened by the Spirit through the truth received in ever so simple and limited a manner. The principle, however, is sound; and may we heed it in conscience, looking to the Lord's grace in our weakness. The question is not how far it is made good in the heart of the believer; for it really and equally embraces all believers. It is the grace of the Risen Lord which cleanses us; it is to the Risen, Living Lord that we pledge ourselves; it is to the Risen, Living Lord that we look for strength to keep the pledge that we have given. More than this, there is full security, spite of our passing through a world filled with hatred and peril, for the Christian above all. How does Moffatt arrive at this translation? This is, indeed, a more tolerable sense than the former; Thus, it would be proper to say that Whitefield came to America, and preached to the souls in perdition; or to go among the graves of the first settlers of New Haven, and say, Davenport came from England to preach to the dead men around us.. The purposes of God was thwarted by sinful man.So in order that man might have fellowship with God, these purposes of God restored, Jesus suffered once for our sins, "the just for the unjust", that He might be able to bring you to God. 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. situation, because they were intent upon the hope of promised Thus hope also could spring forth as it were to meet Him; as, indeed, it is the work of the Holy Ghost to exercise the faith and hope He has given. The earth will be sown with the seed of God when the Jewish nation, as such, obtains mercy. rendered, instead of "in prison": and said to be in such a 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. On the other hand, as here, when salvation simply and fully is meant, we are thrown on the revelation of the last time. They were redeemed then with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. I consider them both to stand in manifest contrast with the same two elements under the law in Exodus 24:1-18, which appears to be in view. Some use the word sacrament. opinion, that this is meant of the souls of the Old Testament Anybody could get to Him. They have to bear in mind first that the flock is God's. There is not the slightest excuse for misinterpreting the language, or for allowing anything unknown to the rest of scripture. "if you suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts ( 1 Peter 3:14-15 ): Give a special place for God in your life. 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. And why does Peter notice them particularly? "Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope perfectly," etc. Sanctification of the Spirit is that primary action that was experienced before Saul entered into peace with God. 1 Peter 2. 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. Sep 19, 2015. Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. Someone once asked her: "Why do you remain faithful to that ugly little man you married?" Shall we turn now to First Peter chapter three as Peter addresses himself to the wives? At first sight, perhaps, these words may be startling to some, that is, to such as think that the sense of "salvation" is weakened thereby. In fact, the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in no one but the Christian. (ii) Peter calls baptism the pledge of a good conscience to God ( 1 Peter 3:21). manifestation, made known unto them: but though the word may ( Psalms 30:9). (2) The second interpretation--which is that of (practically) all the Fathers, and of Calvin, Luther (finally), Bellarmine, Bengel, and of most modern scholars--refers the passage to what our Lord did while His body was dead. There may be no sense of liberty yet, nor even joy in the Lord; there can be no solid peace whatever. This, again, is somewhat peculiarly put in our version. The epistles of Peter are addressed to the elect Jews of his day, believing of course on the Lord Jesus, and scattered throughout a considerable portion of Asia Minor. When Christ died, he died once and for all ( Romans 6:10). 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." 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). He was a soft touch. (i) He must be understanding. (i) Baptism is not merely a physical cleansing; it is a spiritual cleansing of the whole heart and soul and life. "Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the appearing of Jesus Christ." (iii) Third, Peter sets brotherly love. 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. And it was by this Spirit that Noah became a preacher of righteousness, and condemned that ungodly world, Hebrews 11:7, who would not believe till wrath-Divine punishment, came upon them to the uttermost. Will the dust praise thee? In that chapter we have Israel agreeing to do whatever the law demanded, and thereupon the blood of certain victims is taken and sprinkled on the people, as well as on the book that bound them. And I am persuaded that a hardness of character, quite intolerable to men of spiritual minds, would inevitably be generated by making all our food to consist in what could be extracted from Ephesians and Colossians, the effect of which would soon become painfully sensible to others. Many great scholars have accepted that view; but we do not think it is the view which comes naturally from Peter's words. When the suffering is for Christ, he is demonstrating his loyalty to Christ and is sharing his sufferings. So as Paul wrote to the Corinthian church, I don't need that anyone should write letters of commendation for me because you are my living epistles known and read of all men.Our lifestyle testifies to what we believe. In a certain sense they are strangers now; but it is an awful sense, because it is the fruit of judgment. What is meant by prison here? God puts us to the proof; and, undoubtedly, if there be unbelief working, we must eat the bitter fruit of our own ways. Two characters of priesthood are here shown us. 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! They had been used to this and more in Judaism, but it had all passed away. (4.) 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. "[31] Herodotus often used such expressions as "he spoke, saying," or "he speaking, said," and we have the same kind of an expression in "he went and preached." There is the appearance of it in the last chapter of this very epistle, but this is due solely to the meddling hand of man. Without that question and answer the contract was not valid. 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. 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. As all know, many things were allowed then for the hardness of the heart, which are thoroughly condemned now. 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. And one of these old vans --and it died, just as he got in front of me. 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. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." Now practical holiness follows our being sprinkled with the blood of Jesus Christ, whereas the sanctification of the Spirit of which Peter here treats precedes it. But in this case they omitted. A primary preposition denoting position, and instrumentality, i.e. "But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 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. If a man's heart is set on earthly things, possessions, happiness, pleasure, ease and comfort, he is of all men most vulnerable. ], John D. Barry et al., Faithlife Study Bible. Peter turns to the domestic problems which Christianity inevitably produced. To this double motive there is added another consideration on which it all rests, and without which neither of these things could be. knowing that you are thereunto called, that you should inherit a blessing ( 1 Peter 3:9 ). that he went unto it, or preached in it; only that the spirits They should also try to avoid all forms of wrongdoing. God would bring Peters readers safely through their trials just as He had brought Noah safely through his trials into a whole new world. Want the Verse of the Day sent to your inbox? And this kid said, I didn't know what was going on, I was --I was ready to do something. It is when we are at one with each other that we are at one with him. Instead of improving the intelligibility of the passage (as a co. Albert Barnes' Bible Commentary (1) The spirits are understood as being now in prison, in consequence of having rejected His preaching to them while they were still on earth. He translates: "In the flesh he (Christ) was put to death, but he came to life in the Spirit. 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. Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; He went and preached unto the spirits in prison.--There are two main ways of interpreting this mysterious passage. Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. He must remember that women are the weaker sex and treat them with courtesy. In one year silks, pearls, scents and jewellery were imported from India to the value of 1,000,000 British pounds. Couple of Sundays ago, she was throwing clay pots out on the patio railing. Some woman really railed on me this morning, now it isn't the first time. That would be the best sermon she could preach to win her husband for Christ. 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. In 1 Peter 3:19 it states that Christ 'went and preached to the spirits in prison'. The simple fact is that love of God and love of man go hand in hand; the one cannot exist without the other. 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 ). And water now saves you, who were symbolically represented in Noah and his company, I mean the water of baptism; and baptism is not merely the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge to God of a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is at the right hand of God, because he went to heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been made subject to him.
