“THE MEAT AND A SLICE”
1 Peter 3:7-9

The KJV says Likewise ye wives…
The NIV says Wives in the same way…
And verse seven says Like wise husbands… or Husbands in the same way…

To what were we called? To follow in His steps!

• Don’t be deceitful.
• Don’t retaliate.
• Don’t threaten.
• Entrust yourself to the just judge.
• Die to sin and live righteously.
• Consider and accept what He did on the cross for you.
• Remember where you came from, you were lost.
• Your not a solo act you have an over seer of your soul.

1 Pet. 3:7
Likewise, 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.

1. HUSBANDS DWELL

The Greek word to dwell means to remain with; reside with; to dwell together.


2. HUSBANDS LIVE IN KNOWLEDGE (7)

Matthew Henry states: Husbands are to dwell with the wife according to knowledge; not according to lust, as brutes; nor according to passion, as devils; but according to knowledge, as wise and sober men, who know the word of God and their own duty”.


The thought in this verse is “Don’t be caught being ignorant” of what is right and proper.

3. HUSBANDS HONOR YOUR WIFE (7)
The word “honor” means to value, to esteem, to prize, to count as precious.
Adam Clark in his commentary says The word honor signifies maintenance as well as respect; - to maintain, or provide for the wife.

Peter gives us men three areas that we can show honor to our wives.
1.    Honor as the weaker vessel.




Gal. 3:27-29
27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

3. Honor aids our prayer life.

4. THE SLICE OF PEACE

peace - the working out of a supernatural unity among the born again.

A. One mind- like minded; of the same mind.

2 Cor. 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

-suffer with those who suffer.
-weep with those who weep.

Unity demands sympathy and keeps us from becoming self absorbed/ or self centered.
