NASB | 1 Peter 3:7 ¶ You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 3:7 ¶ In the same way, you husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way [with great gentleness and tact, and with an intelligent regard for the marriage relationship], as with someone physically weaker, since she is a woman. Show her honor and respect as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered or ineffective. |
Bible Question: When they are speaking of wife being weaker partner,do they mean physical and if no?? Edna? |
Bible Answer: Ames: I hope I am not stepping into a mine field on this question. I enjoy the NASB rendering of this verse: "You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered" 1 Peter 3:5 I do not think that the question here is whether the woman is weaker or not, but rather has to do with the attitude of the husband toward his wife. Some translations cite physical strength as the difference. If a husband wants to truly honor his wife he will treat her like she is a weaker vessel. In other words his love and care for her will be such that he will treat as his most valuable treasure. After all "we are fellow heirs of the grace of life" I hope this helps God's blessing to you Robert |
