Husbands
June 14, 2023
“Husbands"
Blessings folk!
The Lord is speaking through Peter to all believers.
Servants.
Wives.
Now, husbands.
1 Pe 3:7
Likewise,
husbands,
live with your wives in an understanding way,
showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel,
since they are heirs with you of the grace of life
so that your prayers may not be hindered.
ESV
“Likewise”…
In the same manner that we have seen with “servants” and “wives”.
Husbands are to…
- live with their wives in an understanding way
- show honor to the woman as the weaker vessel
- understand that wives are co-heirs of the grace of life
- do so that prayers may not be hindered
None of this is “negative”.
None of this is to connote that wives are inferior.
If anything, it shows wives to be superior value.
The picture is that of dinner china being “weaker” than daily use dinnerware, of greater value.
So, husbands keep this in mind.
Honor. Yes.
Heirs. Yes.
Hindered. No.
