NASB | 1 Peter 3:1 In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 3:1 In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands [subordinate, not as inferior, but out of respect for the responsibilities entrusted to husbands and their accountability to God, and so partnering with them] so that even if some do not obey the word [of God], they may be won over [to Christ] without discussion by the godly lives of their wives, [Eph 5:22] |
Subject: Grey? |
Bible Note: Joy, your husband is right: 'gray' is the preferred spelling; 'grey' is a variant spelling. But please note how greyhounds spell their name. But you can't put much stock in that. What do dogs know about spelling anyway? ..... I can't agree with you that the Bible intentionally leaves anything gray (or even grey, for that matter). I resort to a quote from Willie Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar": "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves, that we are underlings." So the 'gray areas' of Scripture are really not in Scripture at all, but in our feeble and limited minds, in their inabilty to fathom the unsearchable riches of Christ. I'm 69 years old and I fervently wish that now I knew half as much about God's word as I thought I did at 29. --Hank |
