⁷Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

⁸Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

1 Peter 3:7-8

21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

⁷Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with your wives with understanding, giving honor unto the wife as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.

⁸Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one for another. Love each other as brethren, be sympathetic, be courteous,

21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

7 Husbands should live by the word first following after His before their families or his own will. A good husband should want to be closer to God than His own wife. A husband is commanded to love his wife. Love often is the thing a woman most wants from her husband while for a man it is respect from his wife. Women are often more emotional than men and often are not as physically strong as men. It is a partnership that should be done thru prayer and worship and devotion of the Lord.

8 There should not be division in marriage or the church even during disagreements this can be hard but if not done can lead to further problems. We should treat the church better than we would the world because we share blood, the blood of Christ.

Keep our eyes on Jesus.

Mark 1:25; 1 Peter 3:5-6

Mark 1:25

KJV(i)25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
CAB(i)25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be muzzled, and come out of him!"

My thoughts.
Jesus just has to speak for things to be done.

1 Peter 3:5-6

King James Version (KJV)

⁵For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:

⁶Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.

1 Peter 3:5-6

21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

⁵For in this manner in olden times the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands,

⁶even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. Ye are her daughters as long as ye do well and are not afraid with any bewilderment.

21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

5 Women serve God by being wives to their husbands. Women are to be there for support for their husbands. While men will make mistakes their wives should stand with them thru their mistakes.

6 Sarah served Abraham and was a very good wife to him, even when he made mistakes her obeyed him. Sarah is a model for other women. Women should seek to please their husbands. This is not to mean they are second class behind men and they are not to be treated as slaves or servants. They should look as themselves as wives and live up to their calling.

Keep our eyes on Jesus.

Devotion Mark 1:24 Study 1 Peter 3:3-4

Devotion Mark 1:24

Mark 1:24
CAB(i)24 saying, "Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are--the Holy One of God!"

My thoughts.
Even the demons know Jesus is God but they do not make Him Lord, we as believers are to accept Him as our Lord.

Study 1 Peter 3:3-4

1 Peter 3:3-4

King James Version (KJV)

³Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

⁴But 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.

1 Peter 3:3-4

21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

³When adorning yourselves, let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing gold, or of putting on apparel;

⁴but let it be the hidden man of the heart which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of great price.

21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

3 We should not try to make ourselves look a way. This is not saying we should not look nice; I personally try to dress my best for a church service, when I can. The outside should often reflect the inside. We should not dress in a way that draws intention away from serving and praising the Lord. We should not dress to impress any one because church is to praise the Lord, not to be noticed.

4 What is on the inside is far more important than what one wears. If we look nice but don’t have Christ in our life then we have nothing but clothes. If we have Christ we have ore than nice apparel. The important thing is to first be a Christian then lives the part. Dressing a certain way is not important.

Keep our eyes on Jesus.

Devotion Mark 1:23 Study 1 Peter 3:1-2

Devotion

Mark 1:23

KJV⁽ⁱ⁾²³ And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

KJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾²³ And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

My thoughts.

This man seeked help. Before we come to Christ thru faith we have to know we need help and then cry out to Him.

Study

1 Peter 3:1-2

King James Version (KJV)

3 Likewise, ye 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 of the wives;

²While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

1 Peter 3:1-2

21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

3 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, that if any obey not the Word, they also may be won without the word by the conduct of their wives

²while they behold your chaste manner of living coupled with fear.

21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

1 Women are put under the authority of men even though, this is not what they want but a Godly woman will seek a Godly man who she has no problem submitting to. We as men should live in a way for woman to have respect for us. Women were subjects to the father and then subjects to there husband at this time. Today it is very different but Godly women will continue to live by the scripture no matter how the world changes. If a man does not have a respectful wife he can not become a deacon on pastor in the church. A wife often can reflect her husband. Women look to get married while men may not.

2 A woman’s example for the world is how she respects her husband. In today’s world a woman can really stand apart by doing this even more today than then. Women may not be able to witness as much as men or called for as much as men but the should support and strengthen their men for what they do, worldly women can not do this the way Godly women can.

Keep our eyes on Jesus.

Devotion Mark 1:22 study 1 Peter 2:25

Mark 1:22

KJV⁽ⁱ⁾²² And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

KJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾²² And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

My thoughts.

Jesus is the authority behind the srciptures, we are not to teach as if we are authority on scripture but look to Him to find the words for us to say.

1 Peter 2:25

King James Version (KJV)

²⁵For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

1 Peter 2:25

21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

²⁵For ye were as sheep going astray, but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

25 Believers sometimes may fall into sin and seek the things of the world. The scripture does say there is pleasure in sin for a season. It also easier to leave as the world but once you receive Him it is harder because He keeps trying to bring you back to His fold. Sin is why the world is not yet a part of His fold and why some will never go into the fold. Sin had power but He is stronger. The story of the prodigal son is a story about coming back to the father with humility shows that we having been a son to the Father will come back after seeing what we had with the Father. Those of the faith will always be lead back after a season of their sins because they will be so miserable, that they will come to back Him for the joy their salvation. Christians are not meant to live as the world but they still may influenced by the world but we should be influenced by the Spirit.

Keep our eyes on Jesus.
