Pastor teacher and author Adrien Rogers has introduced people all over the world to the love of Jesus Christ and it’s impacted Untold numbers of lives by presenting profound truth simply stated thanks for joining us for this message here’s Adrien Rogers now I want you to take your Bibles and open if you will please to First Peter the 3r chapter 1 Peter the 3r chapter we are speaking from the book of first Peter under the general heading Timeless Truth for tough times and today we have a word for wives and help for
husbands and I want you to read with me the first seven verses of First Peter chapter 3 likewise ye wives be in subjection to your own husbands that if any obey not the word that is the word of God they may without a word literally that’s what it says without a word be won by the conversation of the wives now the word conversation here is an Old English word that means more than what we say it literally means by our Behavior while they behold your chaste conversation that is your pure Behavior coupled with fear the word fear does not mean that
you’re quaking in your boots but it’s another word that means reverence who adorning let it not be that outward adorning of platting the hair or of wearing of gold or of putting on of apparel but let it be the hidden man of the heart and that which is not corruptible even the ornament of a Meek and quiet Spirit which is in the sight of God of great price for after this manner in Old Time the holy women also who trusted in God adorned themselves being in subjection to their own husbands even as Sarah obeyed Abraham calling him
Lord whose daughters ye are as long as you do well and are not afraid with any amazement likewise ye husbands dwell with them according to knowledge giving honor unto the wife as unto the weaker vessel and as being HS together of the grace of life that your prayers be not hindered now I know that you notice that verse had six verses for women one for men now lest I get in trouble let me hasten to say that is not because women need the word more than men to the contrary the reason that there’s six verses for women is because the men were
giving so much difficulty the men were giving so much trouble it is because the women have to live with cantankerous obstreperous can’t get along with men that God takes six vers to tell the women how to deal with ls like some are so it’s not that the women need more necessarily it is that the men are harder to deal with than the women and then there’s this one verse for men now the outline is very simple first six verses deal with the ladies a word for wives the seventh verse deals with men help for husbands now in this first part
