Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Peter 3:18

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 by the Spirit: On the interesting subject of Christ's suffering for sins, when he made his soul an offering for sin, and in which he acted, as the substitute and sponsor for his people, our souls may well dwell forever. It is a subject to be begun in this life, but never to be finished to all eternity. The Holy Ghost in this scripture, hath very... read more

By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; (20) Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. (21) 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: (22) Who is gone into heaven, and is on the... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 3:18

Christ....being put to death indeed in the flesh, dying on the cross for our sins, but brought to life by the spirit. [2] By the spirit here some understand Christ's divine spirit, and power of his divinity, by which he soon raised himself again from death to an immortal life by his glorious resurrection. But others by the spirit rather understand Christ's soul, by which he never died, which always remained united to his divine person, and which the third day he again reunited to his body.... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 3:19

In which (to wit, soul or spirit) also he came, and preached to those spirits who were in prison. The true and common interpretation of this place seems to be, that the soul of Christ, after the separation from the body and before the resurrection, descended to a place in the interior parts of the earth, called hell in that which we call the apostles' creed, (sometimes called Abraham's bosom, sometimes Limbus Patrum [Limbo of the Fathers], a place where were detained all the souls of the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 3:14-22

14-22 We sanctify God before others, when our conduct invites and encourages them to glorify and honour him. What was the ground and reason of their hope? We should be able to defend our religion with meekness, in the fear of God. There is no room for any other fears where this great fear is; it disturbs not. The conscience is good, when it does its office well. That person is in a sad condition on whom sin and suffering meet: sin makes suffering extreme, comfortless, and destructive. Surely it... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 1 Peter 3:1-99

1Pet 3 THE OPENING VERSES of chapter 3 continue the exhortation to submission. The apostle commenced this exhortation at 1Pe_2:13 . In verse 1Pe_3:18 he applied it to those who socially are in the subject place. Now he applies it to those who hold the subject place in that great natural relationship which is the foundation of all human relationships. The Christian wife is to be in subjection to her husband. If he is a Christian he obeys the word and she obeys him. A most excellent and... read more

The benefits of Christ's work: v. 17. For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing. v. 18.

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Peter 3:13-22

Following Christ in Bearing Injustice 1 Peter 3:13-22 It was said of Archbishop Cranmer that the way to make him a life-long friend was to do him some disservice, and surely these words of the Apostle have created many characters of the same type. The one aim and purpose of life should be to sanctify Christ as Lord; that is, to put Him on the throne. Let all the powers of our nature stand around to do His bidding, as the courtiers of a royal sovereign. Keep a good conscience! Remember you... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 3:1-22

The marriage relation was then dealt with, and special emphasis was laid on the fact that the true adornment of woman is found in her character rather than in her dress. Husbands are charged to dwell with their wives according to knowledge. The final reason for the fulfilment of this ideal is that prayers be not hindered. Passing to the subject of suffering which invariably follows loyalty to Christ, the apostle quoted from the Psalms. That shows that the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous... read more
