- 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."

-
"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."

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."
