1Peter 3:1 Likewise, you wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation.(word 'conversation' is old English for 'conduct').of the wives;

1Peter 3:2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

1Peter 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;

1Peter 3:4 But let it be the hidden individual of the heart, in that which is not corruptible.(not corruptible because it's one's soul, it never decays, grows old and dies; the more of the Holy Spirit {?} you have, the more this is true for you; your spirit is your soul connected to God and receives the flow of God coming to you; it's a supply), even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

1Peter 3:4, a deeper explanation.

1Peter 3:5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection.(Ephesians 5:21-33).unto their own husbands.

1Peter 3:6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are, as long as you do well and are not afraid with any amazement,

Don't allow yourself to be brought into any fear or cause of alarm; that is, doing well in life involves avoiding those things that would cause you to live in dread, example, screwing around while not wanting to loose your present partner; cheating another in some way, etc. Don't add more negatives to your life's journey.

1Peter 3:7 Likewise, you husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge.(have an attitude of always learning), giving honour unto the wife.(realize she is also a spirit, a vessel to be filled with the spirit of the Infinite One:.Ephesians 5:18 "...be filled with the Spirit."), as unto the weaker vessel and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

1Peter 3:8 Finally, be you all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful.(tenderhearted), be courteous.(original 'friendly'. 'kind', 'sincere friend'; it can make a big difference in another's life:.Jude 1:22).

1Peter 3:9 Not rendering evil for evil or railing for railing.(arguing back and forth), but contrariwise blessing.(be kind to others; do stand up, but respectfully and kindly); knowing that you are thereunto called, that you'll inherit a blessing.(or, can be comprehended as, 'you know that you will get back as you are to others').

And if that be so, you do unto others as you would have them do unto you:.Matthew 22:36-40. Have the good attitude of realizing that both the bad and the more severely evil ones, are just way further behind in their awakening to what this life is really all about.

1Peter 3:10 For he that will love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue.(*).from evil and his lips that they speak no guile.

Proverbs 15:1; 24:21,22; 25:8-11,15; James 3:7,8.

1Peter 3:11.(from Psalms 34:14).Let him eschew evil and do good. Let him seek peace.(Psalms 37:11).and ensue.(original implies 'to run swiftly in order to catch something', 'to run after', 'to press on', 'pursue', as Paul did).it.

"The battle of evil is the battle of turning away from it..(*)".…Dieter Hausler of Bruno Groening Circle of Friends. All people have been bad, but only bad for a short time if they have a conscience. Those who move from bad to evil are unable to see far off:.2Peter 1:9. 

But to do that we need to know what evil is. We don't think of those things negatively affecting us as being evil. In this satanically highly influenced world, we have all been bewitched, affected by the demonic philosophy that all these negatives are what God wants for us. It was and is a satanic trick to eventually lock your heart away from the one and only true God of all life and creation. Take for example the thinking that 'God loves the poor', which God does. But does that mean one should not aspire to better than being poor?.John 10:10.

1Peter 3:12 For the eyes of God are over the righteous and his ears are open unto their prayers. But God is against them that do evil.

If God's against all evil, why then is it allowed? Surely God's big enough to fix it.

1Peter 3:13.(verse here is as the original has it).And who or what can harm.(make an evil affect can't happen because you are under the divine protection of God).you, if you be a follower of good?

What's good?

Luke 10:19 "...nothing shall by any means hurt you.".Also, from verse 15 below."...sanctify God in your hearts"

If you avoid having negative thoughts, then the negative things can't come into your experience, why? Things to help you on that:.John 10:10.

1Peter 3:14 But and if you suffer.(on word 'suffer').for righteousness sake, happy are you.(2Corinthians 4:17,18; 1Corinthians 10:13; Romans 8:28). And be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

Original for word 'troubled' is 'agitated', that is, to get upset over something that bothers you. Why?

Barnes Notes:.Don't allow your mind to dwell on anything which another could do to cause terror:.Isaiah 8:12,13; 51:12,13; Proverbs 16:7; Romans 8:28; Matthew 10:28.

1Peter 3:15 But sanctify God in your hearts and you'll.always be ready to give an answer with meekness and fear.(respect).to every man that asks.you.a reason of the hope that is in you.

1Peter 3:15 But sanctify.God in your hearts.(we are here to move back into what we call God; always be aware that you are of God and that divine protection is all around you).and you'll always be ready to give an answer.(proving what is true:.2Timothy 2:23-26).with meekness and fear.(Matthew 11:29; James 3:13).to every man that.asks.you a reason of the hope that is in you.

One has to give some information for another to ask something about it, but if after you've done that, if they don't ask anything about what you've said, they don't desire an answer and are not wanting to hear any more about it because they are comfortable with where their intellect and heart is at the time, so respect where they may be and leave them alone:.Proverbs 26:17. If their mind is open for truth, what can you do?

Everything is God and unfolding as it should in the multiiverse. The energy of the multiversal intelligence is acting through the experience of the individual in front of you there, no matter how bad he or she may be, that is, this is where that individual is right now in their life. 

We are only here to develop love, to love others, to pray for them and meditate about them and their lives here, to think well of them {Philippians 2:3} by seeing that the same energy animating you is also in them. It's just that they may not as yet be connected with the Soul through their soul. Any change must come from within them and that happens by meditation, not by the approach most of the early disciples took.

Creator.is.in charge of all and we are here for the purpose we were put here. Praying for others includes loving your enemies (Matthew 5:44; Luke 6:27,35) and loving your enemies is not giving them reasons to reject you, where they hate what you're saying and want nothing to do with you. Instead it's for, in some way, lifting their minds up and beyond the negatives they believe in and follow, lifting them up to a higher consciousness:.Psalms 34:14. 

1Peter 3:16 Having a good conscience.(one can't have a good conscience when he or she is often striving with others:.Proverbs 25:8); that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation.(word 'conversation' is old English for 'conduct').in Christ.

1Peter 3:17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that you suffer.(on word 'suffer').for well doing, than for evil doing.

1Peter 3:18 For Christ also has once suffered for sins.(and once was enough:.Hebrews 9:26), the just for the unjust.(John 3:16,17), that he might bring us to God.(Matthew 11:27), being put to death in the flesh, but quickened.(means 'made alive'; the resurrection).by the Spirit,

He was put to death in the flesh of Emmanuel. The Christ in him is eternal, never dies. And, once we awaken to that reality, which means, come to know it is true, then we too are, as the scriptures says 'dead in Christ':.John 3:16,17.

1Peter 3:19 By which also he.(Christ; verse above).went and preached unto the spirits in prison.(?);

Ephesians 4:9.

1Peter 3:20 Which sometime.(notes of the original word explain it as 'in time past').were disobedient when once the longsuffering.of God waited in the days of Noah while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved.(original for word 'saved' is 'escaped').by water.

Comprised with.Adam Clarke's Commentary:.the inhabitants of the antediluvian world were disobedient by flagrant.transgressions against God, but were allowed by God's patience, one hundred and twenty years to awaken, that time here represented as being in prison, while the Spirit of God did work with, convict and reprove the antediluvians (Genesis 6:3,11,17) by showing another way, a way of a higher consciousness than what they were used to living. Those before the flood had ample.opportunity to change due to the many prompts that came daily to their minds as they saw this ark being prepared amongst the wickedness of the general population. It was by this Spirit that Noah was inspired and became by his example, the examples of his family (included the way they were with others in their interactions with them), a preacher of righteousness and thus condemning the direction that unGodly low consciousness world was continuing on with:.Hebrews 11:7; 2Peter 2:5.

1Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism does also now save us, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, by the resurrection of Emmanuel the Christ.

1Peter 3:21 The like figure.(water).whereunto.(toward what end {purpose}).even baptism.does also now save us.(Barnes New Testament Notes:."baptism corresponded to or had a resemblance to the water by which Noah was saved"), not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God.(now we know we're ok in the Creator's eyes), by the resurrection of Emmanuel the Christ.

The act of physical baptism is only as good as the one being baptized having belief in the fact that Emmanuel rose from death as the Christ. Baptism is an outward ceremony alluding to cleaning the conscience at the time of such baptism, but it had nothing to do with getting rid of how an individual might later be in his or her fleshly life.

Paraphrased: Baptism saves us because it's a mind thing, that is, we believe that because of the resurrection of Emmanuel being true.(Romans 10:9), we too are resurrected from the death state we were living with, due to acting evily out of our low consciousness, not knowing of any better way and now we are actively moving away from that state and as much as we are able, into a higher consciousness:.Romans 6:4-13; Colossians 2:12,13; 2Timothy 2:11; Revelation 20:6. 

The verse is saying, like Noah was saved by water.(*).by being in the ark, we too are saved and this by the fact of Emmanuel's resurrection. And this saving has nothing to do with the putting away or the overcoming of whatever fleshly shortcomings remain. God loves us unconditionally. As one grows spiritually, the negative things of the mind and any subsequent actions just fall away. We are also saved by baptism, as it's a symbol of a good conscience made available thanks to the resurrection.

1Peter 3:22 Who.(speaking here of Christ).is gone.(that is, is gone back there:.John 17:5).into heaven and is on the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

Guess who controls all, even the evil is allowed so we, the sleepers to true life, can awaken and choose wisely:.Deuteronomy 30:15.
