Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 3:18

1 Peter 3:18 Christ Suffering for Sins. I. Observe that St. Peter says, "Christ suffered for sins" not merely suffered, but suffered for us that is, clearly for our sins, for the sins of mankind. These were, in some way, the cause of His sufferings. If the sins had not been, His sufferings had not been. However strange the connection may seem, a connection undoubtedly there is between the sins which have been committed from the time of Adam until now and the death of the Lord Jesus Christ on... read more

DISCOURSE: 2403THE NATURE AND ENDS OF CHRIST’S DEATH1 Peter 3:18. Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God.“SUFFERINGS, of whatever kind, are not in themselves joyous, but grievous:” nevertheless they may on some occasions become a source of joy and triumph. If, for instance, they be inflicted for righteousness’ sake, and we have the testimony of our conscience that we suffer for well-doing, we may then unfeignedly rejoice in them, as on... 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

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

3. The excellence of suffering innocently stated, and illustrated in the suffering and triumph of Christ, 1 Peter 3:17-22. Better It is infinitely preferable that, if suffering befalls, as it most likely will, it be on account of a godly life rather than for crime. This is an axiom in Christian ethics. If the will Literally, if the will of God should will, (the former being the will itself, the latter the will acting,) that is, for high reasons, for the sake of either themselves or his... read more
