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.. So that when they bite into the sandwich, they get the word and they pull it out of their mouth and they read, God loves you, you know.

Here we find the various relations of life practically met. Will the dust praise thee? THE SILENT PREACHING OF A LOVELY LIFE ( 1 Peter 3:1-2 ). 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. And Peter and his friends went away rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer that kind of persecution for Jesus. 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. Persecution cannot really harm those who are eager to please God, because with such people persecution always results in greater spiritual blessing (13). Christian humility comes from two things. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil ( 1 Peter 3:10-12 ). He tells them that they must be of one mind and must live in peace ( 2 Corinthians 13:11). 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. I am not speaking of a particular doctrine. disobedient in the times of Noah; and therefore not of the Why even your dog has a will; and I am sure you have a will yourselves. place; some referring it to such in Noah's time, to whom the opinion, that this is meant of the souls of the Old Testament Christ neither went into this prison, nor preached in it, nor to Here Peter sees the bringing safely through the waters of Noah and his family as a type of baptism. It is not merely the Christian who is called to this, but this is what Christ was called to. carries on the same idea, of not exacting too rigid accounts, as on 1 peter 3:6 ; , , So, then, it must first of all be remembered that this whole matter is to be thought of, not in terms of hell, as we understand the word, but in terms of Christ's going to the dead in their shadowy world. "We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. They are going to be judged. preached to the spirits -- The [best] interpretation understands spirits (Gk. They did not think in terms of heaven and of hell but of a shadowy world, where the spirits of men moved like grey ghosts in an everlasting twilight and where there was neither strength nor joy.

The description of the desired conduct, 1 Peter 3:8-9 2. So, he adds, there is a. similar inheritance for the saints with Christ Himself "an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven," where He has already gone. 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. In 1 Peter 3:18-22 he cited Jesus resurrection and ascension into glory, the "missing links" in the previous record of Jesus experiences. 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. The great matter is, that what is spoken should be from God. 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 . This is somewhat difficult for theology, because in general even intelligent and godly souls are much shut up in the prevalent commonplaces of men. Here again we have a scripture of the Old Testament applied; and this has often been, and still is to this day, exceedingly misunderstood; as if the persons here spoken of must be Gentiles because they are called the strangers of the dispersion. saved; whereas the apostle calls them all, "the world of the But should I never get around to being baptized by some unfortunate accident or circumstances of some kind, I will still be saved. God set them apart unto Himself by the effectual working of the Holy Ghost,. (Although it involves the use of Greek some readers may be, interested to see how Rendel Harris arrived at this famous, emendation. Therefore, "If Christ is said by Paul to go and do, what he did by his apostles, Christ may with equal propriety be said by Peter to go and do what he did by Noah."[33]. The Jews had brought His government into contempt by their own rebellion against His name; and Jehovah Himself had found it morally needful to hand over His own nation into the power of their enemies. One sees alas! The way of the most is neither the best, the wisest, nor the safest way to follow: better to follow the eight in the ark than the eight millions drowned by the flood and damned to hell. And John got hold of her and dragged her off as she was railing, going around the corner, you know. You are the strong one, give her that strength. 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 and if you suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled ( 1 Peter 3:13-14 ); He's moving into a new section in which he is going to be talking about suffering, and for the most part suffering wrongfully, suffering for righteousness' sake. This could save nobody; but what baptism represents does save. And who is he that will harm you, if you are followers of that which is good?

This passage, therefore, cannot be adduced to support the Roman Catholic doctrine of purgatory, because: (1)The essential ideas which enter into the doctrine of purgatory are not to be found in the word used here; (2)There is no evidence in the fair interpretation of the passage that any message is borne to them while in prison; (3)There is not the slightest hint that they can be released by any prayers or offerings of those who dwell on the earth. I mean, I was ready to tear him apart. 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). Roman matrons were prohibited from drinking wine, and Egnatius beat his wife to death when he found her doing so. Finally [addressing now both], be of one mind, having compassion for one another, love as brethren, be pitiful ( 1 Peter 3:8 ). Not rendering evil for evil or railing for railing but contrariwise blessing knowing that ye are thereunto __ called that ye should inherit a blessing. Now, when a conscience is touched by the Holy Spirit, what is it that satisfies such a conscience? Just really railing on me. It is not merely speaking according to His oracles, which is the usual way in which men interpret the passage, and thence derive their license for speaking as they judge fitting without thinking of God's will. In this passage we can see how Peter was soaked in the Old Testament; there are two Old Testament foundations for it. What they were here directed to was to "feed the flock of God." It is very evident when a man is justified, he is under the efficacy of the blood of Christ. She's needing this assurance and she fishes for this assurance because she needs the security of knowing that she's loved. Yet the Christian life has a certain blessedness which runs through it all. Thus he says to the Jews addressed that they were not a people (that is, in the days of their unbelief), but are now. Such was the ordering of matters under God's hand for both. Then comes the general exhortation: "Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, pitiful, lowly-minded: not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing." (b) If we look at Moffatt's translation, we find something quite different. This is Christianity. In two very ancient MSS. So Bloomfield maintains, (in loc.,) and so (Ecumenius and Cyril, as quoted by Bloomfield. others, to the eight souls that were shut up in the ark, as in a Sir John Seeley said, "No heart is pure that is not passionate; no virtue safe which is not enthusiastic." A more probable explanation is that these "spirits" were the unbelievers who disobeyed God in Noahs day by rejecting his preaching. 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. We have seen how the Jews believed that all the dead went to Hades, the shadowy land of forgetfulness. This again is frequently said in the New Testament. Thirdly, it seems very strange, that Peter, speaking of the apostles, should immediately, as though forgetting himself, go back to the time of Noah. If they are fallen angels, Peter may have meant that after Jesus Christ arose He announced to them that their doom was now sure. They were that wicked race which lived in the days of Noah. "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." Once again, where infant baptism is the practice, we must take these great conceptions and apply them to the time when we enter upon full membership of the Church. There are many people who state their beliefs with a kind of arrogant belligerence. If he, though perfectly just, why should not we, who are all criminals? saints, who were (en Then the prophecies will be fulfilled. For Christ also died once and for all for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God. But it is a reality, and from that time this sanctification of the Spirit becomes a fact. He tells her something very simple--nothing else than to be a good wife. Such as communion is condemning to the person who doesn't believe. We are told and meant to know, that as He called us by His grace, so we should call on Him as Father. 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. Now I had an interesting experience several years ago. We ought never to suffer but for His name, unless it be for righteousness, as is said here, "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 in the Spirit: by which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison. As a matter of fact, "he went and preached" is just a Biblical way of saying he preached. Do the shades rise up to praise thee? He, as it were, held the keys of access. Nothing is said of preaching in prison, but to the imprisoned spirits not when they were there. Here, I. And who [is] he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? I shall discuss these views in the exposition to follow. 15 ! The Christian does not belong to the world, and consequently is not bound by accidents of time. ! By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; "By which" refers to the Holy Spirit of verse 18. Let us then bear in mind that we are a royal priesthood "to show forth," as it is said here, "the virtues of him who hath called us out of darkness into his marvellous light." I'm thinking about a television station locally here. In a certain sense they are strangers now; but it is an awful sense, because it is the fruit of judgment. Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto a weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered ( 1 Peter 3:7 ). She must live in the conviction that the whole world is the Temple of God and that all life is lived in the presence of Christ. 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. In fact, it's worse than that; it is --it's almost condemning to me. He translates: "In the flesh he (Christ) was put to death, but he came to life in the Spirit. Under Roman law a woman had no rights. sense best suits here; nor is that anxiety and uneasiness, which 449-50; Raymer, pp. With this object in view, there was entire propriety in directing them to the long-suffering and forbearance evinced by the Saviour, through Noah. After this Peter not only branches out into the outward life, but takes particular note of the family and its relationships. 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. 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 . died, their separate souls were put into prison, and there they The more usual fault of those who copied the scriptures was that they added words. We do not wait for times and seasons. With this he is intended to start as a Christian; he begins his career with that blessed shelter which tells him that, although he has entered on the path of Christian obedience, he is a forgiven and justified man in the sight of God. that Christ also, under the Old Testament, acted the part of a In Christ Jesus the dividing walls are down, and Jew and Greek are united into one ( Ephesians 2:13-14). It is into this very snare that unbelief has brought men in Christendom. Salem Media Group. He's referring, of course, to the cross. Relatively few will escape Gods coming judgment, just as only eight escaped His former judgment. Look at the universe. We ought to be seeking to bring blessings to people. A whole Christ is given and needed. It is evident that the Lord might come and make Himself visible only to those in whom He is distinctly interested, and who are themselves personally associated with Him; and such, I have no doubt, is the truth of scripture. 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. 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. And then he asks, "And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? 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. It is not exactly "the answer of a good conscience." The old life just being buried; and as I come up out of the water, it's that new life in the Spirit, in Christ. 1 Peter 3:19 in all English translations. The unbelieving might taunt the Christians with their scanty numbers, while the great mass still remained Jews, and with the absurdity of such a conclusion to the coming of Messiah. Abraham's bosom, inheriting the promises, and not in a prison; Interlinear Bible. (b) It has a Greek background. But it is not what the word of God gives us by that converted soul, to whose case I have adverted. The apostle represents us as growing by the word to salvation ( i.e., the end in glory). Every time they let her out, she comes around here and rails on me. 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. Such unity will only come when Christians are humble and bold enough to lay hold on the unity already given in Christ and to take it more seriously than their own self-importance and sin, and to make of these deep differences of doctrine, which originate in our imperfect understanding of the Gospel and which we dare not belittle, not an excuse for letting go of one another or staying apart, but rather an incentive for a more earnest seeking in fellowship together to hear and obey the voice of Christ." The apostle takes particular care to instruct them in the bearing of many of the types that were contained in the Levitical ritual with which they were familiar. It was the foreknowledge of God the Father in virtue of ( ) sanctification of the Spirit, and this unto the obedience of Jesus Christ (that kind of obedience), and the sprinkling of His blood. And this is exceedingly interesting, because if the prophet be compared, it will be seen to illustrate what has been remarked before the difference between the present accomplishment made good in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, and the future fulfilment of the prophecies. But they both suppose an open door for ministry among Christians in the Christian assembly. Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition Update. 2:17 ) who were in a most miserable condition, strangers to It is a great mistake to suppose that the blood there is used as a sign of the putting away of sin. This is notorious to every one even to themselves. The case for Christianity must be presented with winsomeness and with love, and with that wise tolerance which realizes that it is not given to any man to possess the whole truth. Honey, do I look nice? prison, and were saved; though these are manifestly distinguished Who are referred to by spirits? What is meant by in prison? Was the message brought to them while in the prison, or at some previous period? in Keep your conscience clear, so that, when you are abused, those who revile your good behaviour in Christ may be put to shame. 2 Peter 2:4 speaks of these sinning angels as being imprisoned in hell, awaiting judgment. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. Such is the "appearing" of Jesus, and of this the apostle Peter speaks when the revelation of the sons of God in glory will take place. The intention is just that you recognize that true beauty is inward. We must first note what he does not advise. And really, that's what the kid did; Bless you, peace, brother, shalom. But it may be inquired, Why he puts in prison the souls of the godly after having quitted their bodies? That is an extremely interesting and ingenious suggestion but without doubt it must be rejected. By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison. (iii) Third, Peter sets brotherly love. It may well be that when he compares himself with his fellow-men, he has nothing to fear from the comparison. "Do good to those who despitefully use you" ( Matthew 5:44 ). Where this is duly weighed, it is wonderful what a change is produced in the mind, tone, and temper a change both in those who tend the flock, and in those who are cared for; because then God is looked to, and there is no petty feeling of infringing the rights of man in one form or another. 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. Pearls were loved most of all. And scripture is clear and peremptory as to all these things. 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. 1.3M views 6 years ago Watch our overview video on 1 Peter, which breaks down the literary design of the book and its flow of thought. It was probably a well known sister there; and therefore it was enough simply to allude to her. But it did not matter whether one gave silver or gold, it was all corruptible; and to what did it come at last? 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 ).
