Good morning, Bereans. We are continuing our study of 1 Peter this morning. We will be finishing up a section that runs from 2:12 to 3:12. The point of this whole passage of exhortation is that we as Christians are to live in such a way that our godly lives will stop the mouths of those who criticize our faith. The entire focus on Christian lifestyle falls under the heading of 2:12—"Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable."
Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation. 1 Peter 2:12 ESV
How believers live and react to the common struggles of life are loud witnesses to all who know them. Christians need to maintain a good reputation so that there is absolutely no reason for people to criticize and condemn them. People may criticize and condemn believers anyway, but it is to be unjustified.
Peter talks a lot about submission in this section including submission to emperors and governors, submission to masters or employers, and submission to husbands. The ultimate purpose for such submission is to silence ignorant slander and to glorify God.
For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. 1 Peter 2:15 ESV
Believers, our good conduct is to silence our critics.
Peter tells us that when believers endure unjust suffering, they give grace to God; they honor and glorify Yahweh. Peter uses Yeshua as an example of enduring unjust suffering.
For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 1 Peter 2:21 ESV
Christ was sinless, and although he always lived a righteous life, he suffered unjustly. Christians are to follow his example.
In chapter 3, Peter deals with wives and their submission to their own husbands. Again, the main issue is the believer's testimony before the lost. Wives are to win their husbands to the Lord by their godly conduct. Then in verse 7 Peter addresses the treatment of husbands toward their wives. And again, I believe the goal is to win the unsaved wives. This section is all about our testimony. Christians are to be distinct in their behavior and are to be noted for obedience to God and submission to proper authority. We are to be known for our righteous godly conduct even in the worst situations. Even amidst unjust suffering, we are to be kind gracious people.
Let me ask you a question Berean. If God is sovereign in salvation, why does our testimony matter? We know beyond a doubt that Yahweh is sovereign in salvation.
No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. John 6:44 ESV
The word "draw" here is helkuo which means to draw by irresistible superiority. No one comes to God unless he is drawn by him and all who are drawn by him come.
Yet, throughout the Scripture, we see the fact that our conduct influences the lost.
Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation. 1 Peter 2:12 ESV
"Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable"—the word conduct here is from anastrophē which simply means behavior or lifestyle. The word "honorable" is from the Greek word kalos. It is one of those almost untranslatable Greek words. It takes six English words to give you the sense of it. It means lovely, fine, winsome, gracious, fair to look at, noble, excellent; it is the purest, highest, noblest kind of goodness.
The believer's behavior is to be honorable among the ethnos, the nations. By this, he means the unsaved world. "Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles" is a present active participle used as an imperative. Unbelievers are watching! How believers live is critical to winning the lost.
"They may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation"—who is the "they" here? It's the Gentiles, the unbelievers. They see a believer's good deeds and they glorify God. God is sovereign but our testimony matters. Look what Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9.
To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. 1 Corinthians 9:20-22 ESV
Paul lives like this that he "might save some." There is nobody who teaches the sovereignty of God more that Paul and yet here he is adjusting his life to win the lost. Now we know that nobody gets saved apart from the word of God, but we also know that our lives, our conduct matters.
As we look at the final verses in this section, we see the importance of loving enemies 3:8-12.
Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. 1 Peter 3:8 ESV
"Finally"—is the Greek word telos. In the present context telos does not indicate the conclusion of the letter but, rather, the conclusion of the current discussion which began in chapter 2 verse 12. He's summing up this whole section on conduct in an ungodly world.
"All of you"—this is addressed to the entire community of faith. He is giving believers five components that make up a right attitude. Of these five words, four of them are only found here. Peter is using some really unique words.
"Have unity of mind"—this is the Greek word homophrōn which is a compound
of homos (one or the same) and phrēn (mind or thinking). We are to think the same. Now you know that we all don't think the same on many issues. And that is fine. The call here is to have unity of mind about the things of Christ.
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Yeshua, Philippians 2:5 ESV
Our thinking is to line up with Christ's thinking. Here he is specifically talking about humility. This command brings us back to the need for believers to know God's word. We can't be of one mind and have the mind of Yeshua, if we don't know what His mind is. The word of God shows us the mind of Christ.
The New Testament holds unity in very high regard. Paul was so concerned with the unity of the church that he brought it up in every letter he wrote to a church. Disunity is always a lurking potential for disaster.
God hates disunity.
There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers. Proverbs 6:16-19 ESV
We have unity in Christ, but we must work to preserve a practical unity.
Augustine said, "On essentials, unity; on non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity."
"Sympathy"—this is from the Greek word sunpathēs which is a compound of sun (with) and paschō (to suffer). We get the English term "sympathy" from this Greek compound. Sympathy is the ability to suffer with another person by entering into and sharing the feelings of that person. It is not having compassion on him or her from a distance. Sympathizing implies bearing one another's burdens (Gal. 6:2). It is to see and feel things as others do. Consider the following:
Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Romans 12:15 ESV
"Brotherly love"—this is the Greek word philadelphos which is a compound of philos (love) and adelphos (brother). This is, of course, the generic use of brother. Possibly a better way to express this is "show family love for all believers." This reflects Yeshua's command in John 13.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." John 13:34-35 ESV
"A tender heart"—this is the Greek eusplagchnos which is a compound of eu (good) and splagchnon (viscera, bowels). The ancients believed that the lower viscera were the seat of the emotions. This compound calls on believers to have "good feelings" toward one another. It's the same word used in Ephesians 4:32.
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:32 ESV
This is how we are to treat one another.
"And a humble mind"—this is the Greek word tapeinophrōn which is a compound of tapeinos (humble) and phrēn (minded). This is a willingness to put someone else's interests and needs before one's own. This is a uniquely Christian virtue.
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Philippians 2:3 ESV
It is pride that is the root of almost all of our disputes. We feel disrespected, we feel not cared for, and our pride rises up with anger.
These five qualities are vital to effective interpersonal relationships. How would you like it if people treated you using these qualities?
Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. 1 Peter 3:9 ESV
Like Yeshua and Paul, Peter urged his readers not to take revenge. Now Peter says no matter how you're treated, don't retaliate.
"Do not repay evil for evil"—this is a present active participle used as an imperative and it could even be translated "stop returning evil for evil." Believers are to respond differently than unbelievers. Believers should act in love and not in anger. Yeshua taught:
"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, Matthew 5:43-44 ESV
So, Peter tells the scattered believers something he obviously got from the Lord: "Do not repay evil for evil." Maybe we should cling to audience relevance here and say that this was just for the first-century saints. That might make us feel better but it would be wrong. This is a command for the church, for all believers. Paul also repeated this command.
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." Romans 12:19 ESV
Remember that First Peter is written to persecuted and suffering believers. Revenge is one of the most natural of human responses to hurt or injury or bad attitudes. We always feel that if we treat others according to the way they have treated us, we are only giving them justice. We love movies like Charles Bronson's Death Wish. We feel that we have a right to retaliate. It was John Kennedy who said, "Don't get mad, get even." Seneca commented that vengeance was "legitimate" (De Ira 2.32.2).
This represents the wisdom of the world. And if we are truthful, that's the way most people, even many Christians, operate. When anyone threatens our rights or takes what we think belongs to us, we are inclined to retaliate. Revenge, or defending your own borders, is the first impulse of the unregenerate. We are not to fight with the same spirit as they do; we must have a Christ-like response.
We are not to retaliate; we are to forgive. Forgiveness is the heart of Christianity. We have all been forgiven of a huge unpayable debt and we are to forgive all who have wronged us.
Then Peter came up and said to him, "Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times. "Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants. When he began to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. And since he could not pay, his master ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made. So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.' And out of pity for him, the master of that servant released him and forgave him the debt. But when that same servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii, and seizing him, he began to choke him, saying, 'Pay what you owe.' So his fellow servant fell down and pleaded with him, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay you.' He refused and went and put him in prison until he should pay the debt. When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their master all that had taken place. Then his master summoned him and said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?' And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers, until he should pay all his debt. So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart." Matthew 18:21-35 ESV
How in the world could you, who owed God an unpayable, uncountable debt and received compassionate forgiveness from Him, go choke somebody with vengeance to get the little that he owes you. It's an unthinkable thing. It is living with a double standard. So, we are to be marked as forgiving people.
Look at how Paul described his response to persecution in 1 Corinthians 4.
when we are slandered, we respond graciously. Even now, we are like the scum of the earth, like everyone's garbage. 1 Corinthians 4:13 CSB
Look at what the Torah says.
You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD. Leviticus 19:18 ESV
Yahweh taught us not to hold a grudge and not to retaliate. We are not to pay back or avenge. We are to forgive.
"Or reviling for reviling but on the contrary, bless—the word "bless" here is eulogeō. It is another present active participle used as an imperative. Literally it means "to speak well of" or "to eulogize." Eulogeo is in the present tense indicating we are to continually eulogize others (not while dead but alive). They attack us and we speak well of them.
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1 ESV
How many of you have seen this fleshed out?
"For to this you were called that you may obtain a blessing"— "were called," in the aorist tense, defines this calling as a historical event, an action that has been completed. God called us to salvation and he called us to not retaliate. By blessing those who have wronged us, we will obtain a blessing.
Believers, when we live like Yahweh has called us to, we receive a blessing. When we live on the path of obedience we are blessed.
These next three verses are a quote from Psalm 34. Peter quotes it to demonstrate the blessing that comes to those who turn away from evil and do good. In Psalm 34:12-16, David insists that God will not bless those who exact verbal revenge or engage in deceitful speech.
For "Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; 1 Peter 3:10 ESV
Peter again cites the Tanakh to supported what he just said. Actually, verses 8 and 9 are Peter's exposition of the psalm passage that he quotes. He encourages the believers to pursue righteousness while suffering by viewing the blessings that God promises to the righteous.
"For "Whoever desires to love life and see good days"—do you want to love life and see good days? Doesn't everybody? Who here wants to have a miserable life? We frequently tell people to have a good day because everybody wants to have a good day. Everybody wants to have a life that he loves. But not everybody does. Few people are actually content with their lives.
The word "life" here is zoe. There are two words in the Greek for life—one is zoe, one is bios. Bios, from which we get biology, simply means being alive as opposed to being dead. Zoe means not just life as opposed to death but all the experience and the richness of really living, all that is the fullness of life.
The reward of the righteous is life; the wages of the wicked is punishment. Proverbs 10:16 CSB
Scripture teaches us that if we would have a truly good life, not just here but in eternity, we must live by the rules God has revealed. The ability to enjoy life actually comes from God. Solomon declared how everything under the sun (without God) was vanity. Wealth, relationships, and wisdom all leave a man empty. However, to enjoy one's labor is a gift of God.
also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God's gift to man. Ecclesiastes 3:13 ESV
The Lord Yeshua put it this way:
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. John 10:10 ESV
"I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly"—Yeshua not only came to bring spiritual life to His people, but He came to bring the best quality of life to them. What is being emphasized here is the abundant and overflowing quality of the life which Yeshua came to give.
I don't think that Yeshua is making a distinction between two levels of Christian life in which one is superior and more abundant than the other. What Yeshua is talking about here is the life that He gives to all who believe in Him. Just as He has said that those who believe in Him will never hunger or thirst ever again and that those who follow Him will never walk in darkness, so here His promise is abundant life. When He gives life, He gives it to the max.
So, I think abundant life is available to all believers. It's available, but I don't think all believers enjoy abundant life. Within Christianity everyone has life, but there are few that have abundant life.
There may be two people who are alive, but one may be very sick. They both have life, but one does not have abundant life. Or we may think of an individual who is healthy and another individual who has life and health, but for some reason or other, he may be in prison and he doesn't have liberty. Both have life, both have health, but one does not have the same freedom that the other has. There is a great deal of difference in the experience of life.
Now that which is true in the physical life is true in the spiritual life. Every individual who has believed in the Lord Yeshua has spiritual life, but not many have an abundant spiritual life. Why? If the abundant life is available to all, why don't all have it? I think it has to do with obedience. The abundant life is only available to those who walk in obedience to Christ. It is only for the sheep that follow Him.
Let me just say that the abundant life has nothing to do with material things. It is about joy and peace and contentment that comes from walking with Christ. Let's look at some New Testament texts that show us the blessings that come from obedience.
keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Yeshua the Christ that leads to eternal life. Jude 1:21 ESV
"Keep yourselves in the love of God"—the word "keep" here is tereo. It is from teros—a guard or warden, and it means "to keep an eye on, to keep something in view, to hold firmly, to attend carefully, or to watch over it." Yeshua uses this word in His prayer to the Father for His disciples.
And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. John 17:11 ESV
Tereo speaks of guarding something which is in one's possession. It means "to watch as one would guard some precious possession." "Keep" is an aorist imperative, a command calling for urgent attention. "Yourselves" (heautou) is plural, indicating that Jude is addressing not just individuals but the entire Church body. Jude is calling for the saints to "keep" themselves "In the love of God"—"in" is locative of sphere, indicating as Wuest translates it: "within the sphere of God's love."
What does this mean? Is he saying that we need to keep God loving us? No, look at verse 1.
Jude, a servant of Yeshua the Christ and brother of James, To those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ: Jude 1:1 ESV
"Called" is from the Greek word kletos, which is a verbal adjective from kaleo (to call). Every time this term is used in the Epistles and Revelation it means the same as "chosen." It's a synonym for chosen, and it is the main word in this sentence. The other perfect passive participles are in apposition to it or they provide an explanation of this main one. Because we are the called, we are beloved in God the Father and kept by Yeshua. That's the way you would understand the grammar here.
We know that once God loves and saves someone, once God does the work of salvation in the life of a sinner, it means that the person then has his sins forgiven—past, present, and future. Every sin, every offense, every transgression that they will ever commit against God has been paid for.
Jude is not telling the believers to keep themselves saved. He's not saying "Don't get yourself in a position where God will no longer love you." We know he's not saying that because verse 24 says:
Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, Jude 1:24 ESV
He begins with our security, and he ends with our security. He's not questioning our security and telling us that we must do something to stay saved.
Jude made it clear in verse 1 that the called are kept. The word for "kept" in verse 1 and "keep" in verse 21 are the exact same Greek words. So, in verse 21 Jude is telling those who are kept in Christ to keep themselves in the love of God.
Wuest translates this as: "With watchful care keep yourselves within the sphere of God's love." To keep yourself in the love of God simply means "keep yourself in the place where you experience the blessing that God's love brings." It means "to stay in the sphere of God's love."
William MacDonald writes, "The love of God can be compared to sunshine. The sun is always shining. But when something comes between us and the sun, we are no longer in the sunshine."
Keeping ourselves in the love of God requires consistent self-discipline on our part. We can never get out from under the love of God as far as God is concerned, but we can get out from the blessings that the love of God bestows upon us as we live our life on this earth.
What does it mean to be in the love of God? What do we have to do to keep ourselves in the love of God?
Everyone who believes that Yeshua is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. 1 John 5:1-3 ESV
What does it mean to keep ourselves in the love of God? It means that we walk in obedience to His revealed will. And when we remain obedient, we will enjoy all the fullness of God's love:
"If you love me, you will keep my commandments. John 14:15 ESV
Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him." John 14:21 ESV
Christ says, "If you love Me, keep My commandments," that is, do the will of God. Obey the Father; obey what the Bible tells us. Be obedient—do not be rebellious or usurp the authority of the Word of God. God is admonishing us and encouraging us, "Keep yourselves in the love of God."
When a believer walks in obedience, he is demonstrating that he loves Yahweh. And when we are obedient, we abide in His love.
If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. John 15:10 ESV
Keeping ourselves in the love of God is synonymous with keeping His commandments. Notice what Paul said to the Thessalonians.
And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things that we command. May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ. 2 Thessalonians 3:4-5 ESV
God is telling us that the demonstration of a believer's love for God is found in the keeping of the commandments. What commandments? Torah? Are we subject to the 613 laws of Torah? No, as believers we are not under the Old Covenant Law, but we are under the Law of Christ.
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2 ESV
The Law of Christ is the law of love. We are to love Yahweh and love our neighbor as our self. We are under the laws of the New Covenant.
For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Yeshua from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:2 ESV
"The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Yeshua"—this is Torah of the Spirit. This introduces us to a new facet of Torah, this is New Covenant Torah. Paul says that the Torah of the Spirit "has set you free"—he is talking of setting slaves free in exodus language. Those in Christ are brought out of the Egypt of sin and death and made citizens in the Kingdom of God. Through the death of Christ, they become dead to the Law of sin and death. The Law of sin and death was the Old Covenant Law.
Believers often ask the question: "Since we are saved by grace through faith and faith alone, does it matter how we live once we are saved?" Absolutely! It makes a tremendous difference—not in your eternal destiny—but in your quality of life here and now.
The one who wants to love life and see good days, according to the Tanakh (Psalm 34), must refrain his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking guile. That is exactly what is called for in verse 9 (refrain, stop, cease all together).
"Let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit"—James 3:2-8 likewise discusses at length control of the tongue. We are warned how hard it is to control the tongue and how important it is to work at doing so. We all sin at times, as other passages teach (Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:8,10). But sins of speech are so common and difficult to overcome that that they are highlighted by James. This is because if we can gain control of our speech in order to avoid sin, we can then control our whole life!
James uses various illustrations to show how a small thing, like the tongue, can have a great impact and power. A bridle controls only the horse's mouth, but the result is that his whole body can be turned.
Believers, we are to refrain from verbal retaliation. We must keep our tongue from evil. Obviously, the normal response to someone who wrongs us is to speak evil of him.
let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it. 1 Peter 3:11 ESV
This is taken from Psalm 34:14 and it gives us four commands.
(1) "Let him turn away from evil"—the verb here, "to turn away," means to reject. It is a positive rejection of what is sinful in the treatment of others.
(2) "And do good"—if you want to love life and see good days, then turn from evil to do good. Good is what the Bible tells us to do. Forgive instead of retaliate. Paul tells us that God created us for good works.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Yeshua for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10 ESV
(3) "Let him seek peace"— that's the third imperative. Notice what Paul says about peace.
If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Romans 12:18 ESV
It is not always possible to have peace with all men, no matter how hard we try. We should never compromise truth to achieve peace. But we should live at peace if it is at all possible. The fourth command is,
(4) "And pursue it"—we live in a hostile world that doesn't like our values or our morals. And so, we are persecuted, and the world constantly tries to discredit us. But we are told by the Word of God to do everything we can to be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kind-hearted, humble in spirit, and to never give back evil for evil or insult for insult. The bottom line is that if we really want to love life and see good days, we must make sure that we hold our tongue from any evil retaliation, keep our lips from any lie that we might be prone to give in the midst of persecution, and turn completely away from all evil. The reasons for believers' actions are given in verse 12.
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil." 1 Peter 3:12 ESV
This is also from Psalm 34:15-16. These two verses are almost a verbatim quote right out of the Greek version of the Tanakh called the Septuagint.
"For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous"— "the eyes of the Lord" is a very common phrase in the Tanakh that always relates to God's watchfulness over His people. Believers, Yahweh is always watching us so that nothing we do is hidden from Him.
"And his ears are open to their prayer"—prayer here (desis) means entreaty, petition, supplication. It's all related to needs. It's our petitioning Him for our needs. Why is God watching over us carefully? Why are His eyes constantly upon us? In order that He might immediately respond to our prayers.
"But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil"—"the face of the Lord" is most often used to refer to judgment.
Believers, if you want to love life and see good days you must walk in obedience. That is the place of blessing. Our responsibility is to please the Lord by doing good in our walk and talk. He is responsible to protect us and to answer our prayers.
Throughout the Psalms, "the Lord" originally referred to YHWH, the covenant God of Israel, In this context, however, it refers to Yeshua, the bringer of the new covenant. This is a common technique of New Testament authors to affirm the deity of Yeshua.
Bereans, I'm pretty sure that we all want to have a life that we love, and we want to enjoy life to its fullest. But the only way this happens is when we live in obedience to the Lord's precepts. We can't do things our own way in violation of the Word of God and expect things to go well. Life in fellowship with our Creator is amazing. But a believer who is out of fellowship with Yahweh is set to have a miserable life.
For "Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; 1 Peter 3:10 ESV
