I Peter
Chapter
3 {Note: A believing wife can bring a non-believing husband to salvation by example not by nagging.}
2~~
While they behold your blameless manner of life
{Note:
A woman who does not throw tantrums, nor nags
3~~
With whose adorning {Note: This passage then is one of 'emphasis' . . . concentrate on the inner beauty and do NOT place more emphasis on the outer beauty to the neglecting of the inner beauty - but it is OK to wear clothes! But you do not have to neglect the outer beauty either - remember this relates to the 2 verses before it . . . with the believing woman being an example for her unbelieving husband, who will not be impressed if she neglects her outer appearance!}
{Now
the inner woman's beauty} {Note: The 'heart' is the mentality of the soul/right lobe. The right 'man' is Christ, all believers are the 'right woman' of the heart . . . who are to respond to her right man - Christ.}
5~~For
after this manner {illustration coming up} {Note: the women to be mentioned accepted the authority of God and the authority of their husbands in their home}.
6~~
Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord
{Now
a verse for the men}
{Note:
'Weaker' in the sense that she is dependent upon the man for
fulfillment - an empty vessel waiting to be filled by her right man.}
8~~
Finally, all of one mind,
9~~
Not retaliating evil for evil,
10~~
For he that keeps on desiring to keep on loving life
11~~
Let him turn away from the ultimate source of evil,
12~~
For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous,
13~~
And who will oppress you under evil
{In
contrast, now 'deserved suffering' - divine punishment} {Note: Means don't be afraid of undeserved suffering because there is happiness in the suffering. Fear and worry are mental attitude sins and cancel the blessing!}
15~~
But sanctify/'set apart' the Lord Christ
16~~
Having a good of intrinsic value conscience {bible doctrine} that,
wherein they gossip against you, as of evildoers . . .
17~~
For it is better, {Note: Peter is saying he wishes the persecution these people are to face was undeserved, but he knows it is not undeserved!}
18~~
Also Christ once has died {spiritual death} for sins.
19~~
By means of Whom {God the Holy Spirit} also He {Jesus}, having been transported, {Note: The fallen angles (sons of god) of Genesis 6 are imprisoned still today in Hades. Jesus made a pronouncement to them in Tartarus that their efforts were in vain - they did not prevent Him from coming to the cross as a pure human (genetic attack in Genesis 6).}
20~~Who
{the fallen angels} before time were disobedient, {Note: God waited patiently during the 120 years before the flood when no one listened to the evangelism of Noah. And an ark literally means 'a chest to preserve treasure' - a treasure chest 8 members of the human race to preserve humanity - there were no ships in Noah's time.}
{Now
an analogy - spiritual deliverance} {Note: VERY CLEAR HERE. The baptism of the Spirit saves us and it is a GIFT of God at the point of salvation- we don't earn it or deserve it! And, it is a 'dry' baptism of the spirit and NOT A BATH.}
