Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Peter 3:10-13

1 Peter 3:10-13. He that will love life That would make life amiable and desirable; and see good days Namely, such as are prosperous and happy; let him refrain his tongue from evil From railing, back-biting, tale-bearing, from all rash and provoking expressions; and his lips that they speak no guile No deceit; nothing contrary to sincerity and simplicity. See on Psalms 32:2. In this and the following verses the apostle offers three arguments, of great importance, to induce men to the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 3:1-12

In the home and the church (3:1-12)Another sphere where Christians should display the character of Christ is the home. Wives can display a Christlike character through an attitude of submission to their husbands, even though the husbands may be unbelievers. By the wives’ good conduct and quiet spirit, the husbands may be won for God (3:1-4). Some women of Old Testament times, in particular Sarah, are good examples of a wife’s conduct (5-6).Christian husbands should not act thoughtlessly or... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Peter 3:8

Finally, be ye all likeminded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, humbleminded:Not merely women are the recipients of the honor which springs from the vital Christian recognition of the sanctity of all life, because every human being is recognized as a mortal brother, created in the image of God, a beneficiary of the blood of Christ, and a potential heir of everlasting glory! This respect and reverence belong to all men, in the Christian viewpoint; but even over and beyond that... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Peter 3:9

not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but contrariwise blessing; for hereunto were ye called, that ye should inherit a blessing.Rendering evil for evil ... This, of course, was an accepted ethic of paganism; but it is rejected by Christians. "Recompense to no man evil for evil" (Romans 12:17). "See that none render evil for evil unto any man" (1 Thessalonians 5:15). This was not an ethic developed by the apostles, but one handed down directly from the mouth of the Lord himself,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Peter 3:10

For, He that would love life, And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips that they speak no guile: And let him turn away from evil, and do good; Let him seek peace, and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, And his ears unto their supplication: But the face of the Lord is upon them that do evil.The apostle here quoted Psalms 34:12ff, but with variations from both the Hebrew and Septuagint (LXX) texts; but, as Mason said, "The divergence is... read more
