Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Peter 3:8-13

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES1 Peter 3:8. Of one mind.—One aim and purpose. This is possible when all seek the honour of Christ; impossible when each seeks his own honour.

DISCOURSE: 2400GOD’S DISPOSITION TOWARDS THE RIGHTEOUS AND WICKED1 Peter 3:12. 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.THERE is an error which obtains, to a considerable extent, amongst religious people, and which meets with too much encouragement also in the preaching of pious ministers; namely, an idea that to insist on moral duties is legal. Suppose a servant of Christ were to address his... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 3:1-22

Shall we turn now to First Peter chapter three as Peter addresses himself to the wives? This particular section goes back to verse thirteen of chapter two,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 so he talked about,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Peter 3:1-22

1 Peter 3:1-6 . Ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands. The same words occur in Ephesians 5:22. Col 3:18 . The excellence of piety is pleaded here, as the first ornament of a wife. Wisdom connected with the culture of the mind and all the adornings of the christian temper; a chaste behaviour, a fear, and a cautious prudence. These will gain a husband to the Lord more than the monthly fashions of dress. The example of Sarah is adduced, whom all the Hebrew women revered as a model of... read more

1 Peter 3:12The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous.God’s different regards to saints and sinnersI. The two sorts of persons here spoken of.1. The righteous. They have a true love to all God’s commandments, and will not allow themselves in anything which they know to be contrary to the will of God.2. Those that do evil. Good men sometimes may do evil, through ignorance, or the power of temptation; but this is not the bent of their minds: when sensible of it, they are sorry for it. The... read more

For the eyes of the Lord ] Should not God see as well as hear, his children should want many things. We apprehend not all our own wants, and so cannot pray for relief of all.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 3:12

12. For Besides the natural tendency of this course, God watches over such persons with open, observant eyes, and his ears are turned toward their prayers, as though he were careful to lose no word or sigh. On the other hand, his face, much more than his eyes, is upon ( επι in both cases) evil doers, so that while he will surely bless and defend the righteous, it is his fixed, unalterable purpose to punish the wicked. This, which is fully expressed in the Psalm, is here left to be... read more
