| From the
Geneva Notes.
 | "...when the wicked are
provoked, they are more wayward: therefore they must instead be won by good deeds. If they
cannot be gained by that means also, yet nonetheless we shall be blessed if we suffer for
righteousness sake." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "Though Christians cannot
always be exactly of the same mind, yet they should have compassion one of another, and
love as brethren." |
|
| From
Wesley's Notes.
| "The eyes of the Lord
are over the righteous - For good. Anger appears in the whole face; love, chiefly in
the eyes." |
|
| From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "...courteous--genuine
Christian politeness; not the tinsel of the world's politeness; stamped with unfeigned
love on one side, and humility on the other. But the oldest manuscripts read,
"humble-minded." It is slightly different from "humble," in that it
marks a conscious effort to be truly humble." |
|
| From
The People's
New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
| "If God wills that we
should suffer, for the Father sometimes chasteneth children, it is better to suffer for
righteousness, than for evil." |

Commentary,
1 Peter 3:18-22 (Lent 1B), Karl Jacobson, Preaching This Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2009.
| "...we are baptized in
Christ's name, delivered from the power of sin through his
suffering, and so saved. Deserve's got nothing to do with it." |
|

"First
Thoughts on Year B Epistle Passages in the Lectionary:
Lent 1," William Loader, Murdoch
University, Uniting Church in Australia.
| "The point of this rather dense passage
seems to be that the hearers need not fear suffering nor fear the powers
that be." |

Commentary,
1 Peter 3:13-22 (Easter 6), A.K.M. Adam, Preaching This Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2008.
| "The harrowing of hell (3:19)
has attracted the attention of poetic and illustrative
imaginations throughout history—understandably so, since it
seems to answer two provocative questions with an underdeveloped
premise." |

| "On reflection it
is the paradoxical claim that the vulnerability and compassion of
the Christ, far from being a symbol of meaningless and defeat, is in
fact a revelation of the heart of God." |

| "1
Peter 3:18-20," Michael Cranford.
| "Those holding this view often connect this “descent into hell”
with the time Jesus’ body lay in the tomb, prior to His resurrection. This
interpretation is, essentially, a theological myth that has been part of church tradition
for many centuries, and reflects a poor approach to interpreting the Bible. I will step
through each of the passages to provide a better (more contextually sensitive)
interpretation." |
