ペテロの手紙Ⅰ 3:1 JCB

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Peter 3:1

III.(1) Likewise ye wives . . .—Third division of second prudential rule: subordination conjugal. Here, again, the form in the original is participial, joining this injunction on to 1 Peter 2:13; 1 Peter 2:18, where the word is the same in Greek, “wives, in the same way submitting yourselves.” Whether this imposes for all time upon Christian wives as complete a submission towards their husbands as is here enjoined might perhaps be questioned, because the special reason for the command in this... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Peter 3:1-12

PRUDENTIAL RULES OF CONDUCT IN VIEW OF THE HOSTILE ATTITUDE OF THE HEATHEN.—As slanders against the Christian name are rife, and bringing practical persecution on the Church, they are exhorted to extreme care about their conduct, especially in regard (1) to purity, and (2) to due subordination, whether as subjects to the officers of state, or as slaves to their masters, or as wives to their husbands (1 Peter 2:11 to 1 Peter 3:12.) read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Peter 3:1-22

(13-4: 6) EXHORTATION TO KEEP A PURE CONSCIENCE.—It is the only charm against persecution. It is like Christ to suffer with a good conscience; and He had His reward for it, in bringing us, and even the spirits of men who had died impenitent, to God thereby. It is the very meaning of the baptism by which He saves us. To feel its beauty and safety, we have but to consider the ugliness and danger of our former life. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - 1 Peter 3:1-22

In the Sight of God 1 Peter 3:4 God sees; the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself mighty on behalf of them that trust in Him. His eyes are weapons, His eyes are lightnings, His smile makes the morning, His frown makes the night; He is a great God above all gods; He stands where other gods cannot climb. Peter says in this text, Let it be in the hidden man of the heart; let it be in the meek and quiet spirit; let it be in one sense invisible that it may in... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 3:1-7

Chapter 9 CHRISTIAN WIVES AND HUSBANDS1 Peter 3:1-7THE Apostle gave at first {1 Peter 2:13} the rule of Christian submission generally; then proceeded to apply it to the cases of citizens and of servants. In the same way he now gives injunctions concerning the behavior of wives and husbands. The precept with which he began holds good for them also. "In like manner, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands." The life and teaching of Jesus had wrought a great change in the position of... read more

III. CHRIST THE PATTERN FOR HIS SAINTS CHAPTER 2:11-3:9 1. Abstinence and submission (1 Peter 2:11-17 ) 2. Christ the pattern for those who suffer (1 Peter 2:18-25 ) 3. Glorifying Christ in the marriage relation (1 Peter 3:1-7 ) 4. True Christian character (1 Peter 3:8-9 ) 1 Peter 2:11-17 The first exhortation is addressed to them as strangers and pilgrims. Such all true believers are. Because we belong to a heavenly home we cannot be at home in a world which lieth in the wicked one,... read more

Geneva Study Bible - 1 Peter 3:1

3:1 Likewise, {1} ye wives, [be] in subjection to your own husbands; {2} that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;(1) In the third place he sets forth the wives’ duties to their husbands, commanding them to be obedient.(2) He speaks namely of those who had husbands who were not Christians, who ought so much the more be subject to their husbands, that by their honest and chaste conversation, they may win them to the Lord. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 3:1-22

There is similar instruction for wives, for theirs is the subject place, certainly not as slaves to a master, but as joined to their "own husbands," a most-intimate and precious relationship. Because he is her "own," this is an incentive for her genuine, heartfelt subjection. Of course, if he demands that she do wrong, she must not submit to this; but otherwise a spirit of cheerful subjection is that which honors her Lord. Her husband may be an unbeliever, not obeying the Word of God. But she... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 3:1-22

OBLIGATIONS OF HOPE OUTWARD The writer had dropped his pen, but takes it up again at 1 Peter 2:11 . To “abstain from fleshy lusts that war against the soul,” is limited and defined in the next verse. The pagans round about were speaking against the Christians as evildoers. Their increasing numbers were emptying the Pagan temples, and threatening in so doing, not only the Pagan religion but the state itself, for the Romans worshipped the state in the person of the emperor, and at this time... read more
