Do Others See The Hope You Have That Causes Them To Ask Why? 1 Peter 3:15-16 15But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.

We Should Not Only Seek Peace, But Should Also Pursue It. 1 Peter 3:10-14 10For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech. 11They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it. 12For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” 13Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? 14But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened.”

In this episode, we dive into 1 Peter 3:18—one of the clearest pictures of the gospel in all of Scripture. Phrase by phrase, we unpack how Christ suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring us to God, and how His death and resurrection give us both reconciliation and resurrection life.

Live In Harmony and In Humility 1 Peter 3:8-98 Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. 9Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

Jesus suffered once to bring us to God, proclaimed His victory over every power, and shows that baptism points to His resurrection, not ritual. The bottom line: Christ saves and reigns, our true Ark.

3:3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 3:5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: 3:6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.

In this message, Pastor Jason unpacks the paradox of Christian suffering through the lens of 1 Peter. Through vivid biblical connections, we see how unjust suffering can become a powerful testimony of God's grace and tool of salvation. Whether you're facing persecution or wrestling with life's challenges, this message offers profound hope and practical wisdom for standing firm in faith.

“Faith is the antidote to fear.” In Christ, we discover a hope that reframes suffering and anchors us beyond our circumstances. This passage calls us to honor Jesus as Lord in our hearts and to let that faith spill over into how we live, speak, and endure for His glory.

August 17, 2025 | 1 Peter 3

In this episode of the Mutuality Matters podcast from CBE International, hosts Mimi and Charel speak with Dr. Jeannine Brown who discusses the pressing need to interpret the Biblical text of 1 Peter 3:1–7 within its first-century Greco-Roman context. Dr. Brown emphasizes the importance of understanding the cultural and historical background behind the passages on submission, particularly 1 Peter 3:1–7. She explores how Peter's household codes provide agency to often marginalized groups like wives and slaves, contrary to the hierarchical norms of the time. The conversation underscores the relevance today of recognizing and respecting context while interpreting Biblical texts—an essential factor for both scholars and modern readers.    00:00 Introduction to Mutuality Matters  00:02 Exploring the Context of Submission in 1 Peter  00:49 Welcome and Introductions  01:33 Reading and Analyzing 1 Peter 3:1-7  02:57 Cultural Background and Interpretation  03:37 Household Codes in the Greco-Roman World  07:24 Missional Moments and Divided Households  08:20 Challenges for Christian Wives in the First Century  10:03 Slavery and Moral Agency in 1 Peter  11:28 Understanding Peter's Use of Household Codes  16:50 Modern Interpretations and Misconceptions  27:46 The Role of Headings in Biblical Interpretation  30:15 Instructions for Husbands in 1 Peter 3:7  36:30 Exploring Social and Physical Vulnerability  37:19 Interpreting 'Weaker Vessel' in Context  38:02 Challenging Traditional Views on Gender Roles  40:18 Co-Heirs and Inheritance in Early Christianity  41:50 Family Metaphors in 1 Peter  43:37 Egalitarian Impulses in the New Testament  45:28 Household Codes and Their Implications  50:08 Suffering for Good and Loyalty to Jesus  52:47 Translation Challenges and Responsibilities  58:01 Applying 1 Peter in Modern Contexts  01:04:03 Conclusion and Further Resources    Guest Bio: Dr. Jeannine Brown   Jeannine Brown is professor of New Testament at Bethel Seminary and Program Director of Bethel Seminary's Online programs.

Jeannine thoroughly enjoys teaching in churches and ministries on the topics of Bible interpretation and the New Testament. She is married to Tim Brown, singer-songwriter, and has two adult daughters.  Story Notes  Today's podcast focused on 1 Pet 3:1–7. In the NIV it reads:  "Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear. Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers."   Exploring the cultural background, Jeannine suggests that Peter is calling Christians to display behaviors that reflect Christ even as male dominance was a given. Jeannine explained that in the first century, Roman interest in well-organized households should mirror a well-organized Rome. Roman citizens were to live harmoniously within a well-organized Roman household. Where the passage makes a surprising move is in the call for husbands to have empathy for their wives with a consequence: that God will hear their prayers. Further Christian wives should view themselves beyond the cultural standard of female beauty. As the passage states: it's not the adorning of women's outer selves but their inner lives of faith in God. Doing right, and with faith that does not give into fear given God is ultimately in control. This passage is countercultural in its emphasis on Christian faith and the development of a peaceful inner life both of which acknowledge God's supremacy versus that of emperor's.     This passage calls both husbands and wives to do what is right: to be brave, to have faith in God who rules over all of Rome's emperors, verse 7, to live within a culture with very differing values that offend Christian moral life. In this passage there is a tension in negotiating life lived in a culture at odds with Christian values, supremely concerning the divinity Jesus, or that of an emperor. While Jesus died on a Roman cross, even so, the passage evokes faith and courage in Christian households. The passage is helpful to missionaries in similar circumstances. How to live with courage and faith, elevating the gospel with behavior more often than words in a culture that exploited slaves and women.     Turning to 1 Peter 3:7 that reads:  "Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers."     The Petrine texts lean into sibling language, especially that of children, which overall is very egalitarian in the cultural context of first century. Further, the language of “father” was not very much present in NT as it was in 1st century non-Christian texts. God's children in Christ were to face each other in humility and this very egalitarian impulse in relating to one another. God is father, but in Christ we're all siblings. Women and men are co-heirs is throughout NT. Leadership structure are notes but not ones in the NT.     The whole Petrine text is a significant challenge to the top-down rule from emperor as God down throughout the household structure which was central. Given what Peter is doing with family metaphors—of believers as children / siblings who are to love earnestly as family love each other, and as the elders are a group too much have wisdom but must lead by example. These impulses, leader on top, and wife below: this does simplify decisions, but this is not the texture of Peter. As he thinks of his context, and the household code, it is not a prescription but a triage—a pathway for healing top-down leadership. It's what Christians do in an emergency. Emergency advice to the Christian community so it can survive. It's about survival for the most vulnerable. The thrust of text is a call to attentiveness to the most vulnerable. In light of Tom Holland's book—Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World—in brutal detail reveals the cruelty of Rome. In thinking of our next, the advice is that even if you suffer for doing good, you are blessed. And take comfort in that truth and knowledge that even those who slanders you, remain loyal to Christ, if you suffer as Jesus did, you will also share in his glory.  In fascinating detail, Jeannine describes the history of Bible translation and the canonical review that follows. For the NIV team, on which she contributes, their voting policy requires a 75% majority in approving translation choices. Thus, the team must make a compelling case to change something, so for 1 Peter, and the NT generally, it's always wise to examine and read many translations to see differences.     In considering the backdrop in which the text arises, submission is not a new requirement. What is new for this culture is to ask that all behavior must be Christ-like. While believers are clearly frightened by opposition to Christian faith, the text calls them to act in ways that others will recognize their soul-allegiance to Christ. Win others over to Christ not out of fear but confident behavior that imitates Christ's live. Jeannine recommends entering the text with a disciplined imagination that brings implications of texts to life then and now. Idolatry is key issue underlining the concerns in this text which encourages faith and living life not with words but by example.   Jeannine points listeners to the following resources:  Nijay Gupta's book, Tell Her Story: How Women Led, Taught and Ministered in the Early Church.   Listen to Jeannine Brown's Hayward Lectures at Acadia Divinity College  Jeannie will resume this conversation in subsequent episodes of Women and Worlds: Exploring the Difficult Passages.    Disclaimer  The opinions expressed in CBE's Mutuality Matters' podcast are those of its hosts or guests and do not purport to reflect the opinions or views of CBE International or its members or chapters worldwide.

Thoughts on the fellowship of suffering from pastor Ray Bentley. There is no such thing as private pain. All pain is communal. We are to share it with one another, and we're to bear it with one another and have compassion for one another. Someone has said that suffering is like love. It can only be shared. And if we truly share our suffering with one another, then we can also share our joys spread.

Pastor Ray Bentley has insight on inner and outer beauty. Any one of my sisters who will now spend time and attention and focus upon adorning that inner beauty of the gentle and quiet spirit will be beautiful, regardless of what your frame may seem to appear, it will compliment. It will draw people in. You'll all be beauties. Spread. You see all of these people coming down before the King.

Pastor Ray Bentley comments on Peter's admonition about the believer's outward appearance. Peter is not saying that any outward adornment is bad, but it is okay for a man to look and address. Well, it is good and all right for a woman to dress and want to be attractive and take care of her hair and you know where there is a line where the only object is only totally to focus on the outward spread?

Are you yearning for a life overflowing with blessing and joy? In his inspiring sermon, Jason dives deep into the biblical theme of living a blessed life. Drawing from Peter's teachings, he emphasizes that our choices—especially in how we speak and treat others—are crucial for inheriting, enjoying, and sharing God's blessings

1 Peter #12 - 1 Peter 3:18-22: BTS Holy Weekend by City|U Lubbock

In 1 Peter 3:1-7, Peter calls husbands and wives to a way of living that upholds God's design while subverting cultural expectations. Wives are urged to display the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, trusting God even when their husbands fall short. Husbands are commanded to live with understanding and to honor their wives as co-heirs of grace, following the example of Christ's sacrificial love. This counter-cultural vision of marriage is not about power or passivity, but about faith in God that transforms the home into a testimony stronger than words.

How are we to relate to other Christians?

Join us as Pastor Judah continues our summer sermon series on the book of 1 Peter. 

In this sermon, Pastor Todd addresses the topic of suffering from 1 Peter 3:13-22. He emphasizes that while Christians throughout history have faced persecution, there is hope in knowing that 'there will be a day' when suffering ends. The message explores four types of suffering (mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual) while reminding believers that our hope is anchored in Christ's resurrection and the promise of eternal life where tears and pain will cease.The pastor identified four types of suffering: mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Which of these have you experienced most prominently in your life, and how has it affected your faith?In 1 Peter 3:15, believers are instructed to 'always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.' How would you articulate your hope in Christ to someone who is suffering?The pastor used the analogy of seeing 'in a mirror dimly' from 1 Corinthians 13. How does this help us understand our limited perspective during times of suffering?How do you respond to the idea that some suffering is self-inflicted through sin, while other suffering comes despite doing good?The sermon mentioned that 'fear is not of the Lord' (2 Timothy 1:7). How do you combat fear when facing difficult circumstances or suffering?The pastor shared the story of missionaries who were killed in Ecuador, yet their deaths ultimately led to the tribe's conversion. How does this story challenge your perspective on suffering for Christ?What does it mean to you personally that 'there will be a day' when suffering ends? How does this future hope affect how you live now?The sermon emphasized that our inheritance in Christ 'can never perish, spoil or fade.' How might remembering this truth change how you view your current struggles?Support the show
