That the way that works is \"<strong>without a word<\/strong>\", the way of humility and submission. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>that someone can be brought to faith \"without a word\" is actually interesting. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>this principle is also true in reverse, but is less obvious - a man who submits to a woman<sup data-fn=\"16588684-c0a8-4ba4-8ff6-23f2cca6eca1\" class=\"fn\"><a href=\"#16588684-c0a8-4ba4-8ff6-23f2cca6eca1\" id=\"16588684-c0a8-4ba4-8ff6-23f2cca6eca1-link\">2<\/a><\/sup>is not the ideal.

It's about respect for God - I behave a certain way because I know that's the way God wants it. I want to do my role as wife, mother, etc. well. I have respect for my role, I try, I think about how to be a good wife, I don't want to disappoint my husband or God<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This is, of course, how all Christians, men and women, should be set up: every Christian man wants to have respect for his role as a husband and father, wants to lead his wife well and raise his children<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3 Let not your adornment be external: braided hair, putting on (gold jewelry), putting on a dress,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Peter goes on \"thin ice\" - he advises women how to dress and \"decorate\". The principle is probably obvious - revealing or controversial clothing is not appropriate for Christian women. This certainly doesn't mean that Christian women can't dress nicely, do their hair, or wear jewelry. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>provocative clothing is something else - and both men and women reliably recognize or sense provocativeness<sup data-fn=\"8aecf8b4-6efe-4a6d-9354-670fa07ae818\" class=\"fn\"><a href=\"#8aecf8b4-6efe-4a6d-9354-670fa07ae818\" id=\"8aecf8b4-6efe-4a6d-9354-670fa07ae818-link\">3<\/a><\/sup> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is certainly not easy to find peace in dressing - the Western style, where even decent women wear little clothing, is certainly not the ideal. The Muslim commandment of \"veiling\" is even worse. I felt quite comfortable in this respect in South Sudan - the women here are not \"trampy\" by any stretch of the imagination, they are confident, they dress nicely, but there is no defiance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peter calls it <strong>external decoration<\/strong> - in Christianity, external things do not play a primary role.  The whitewashed tombs (Pharisees) looked good, but what is important is what they hide inside<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the outside may not go hand in hand with the inside, <strong>external beauty may not correlate with beauty of character<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>God is only interested in the heart.

Now he talks about <strong>the inner man of the heart<\/strong>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>by a nice external appearance one <strong>precious in God's eyes <\/strong>will not happen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>what God values is within, invisible at first sight<\/strong>. But God, unlike us, sees the inner things well<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>it is quite possible, rather probable, that even most of the people whom God \"admires\" are precious to him, are inconspicuous<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and what qualities of the inner man are pleasing to God? <strong>Quiet and peaceful<\/strong>. So a crying and restless person does not \"take God too well\".<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>why they talk about quiet and peaceful <strong>spirit<\/strong>? When our heart, our spirit is saturated with God, resting in His arms, it gives peace and quietness. He doesn't need the approval of men, he doesn't need to assert himself or make himself known.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>such a state of mind is then permanent, uninfluenced by circumstances, is <strong>unforgivable.<\/strong> Everything in our lives is transient, but this state of mind is permanent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>but it's about <strong>rare <\/strong>a \"commodity\" that few people find<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5 So also the holy women of old were adorned, who trusted in God, and submitted themselves to their own husbands;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Petr further develops the inner beauty of women, he is \"not afraid\" of the topic<sup data-fn=\"f9d8e19f-6355-4fe8-b7fe-49b71125a548\" class=\"fn\"><a href=\"#f9d8e19f-6355-4fe8-b7fe-49b71125a548\" id=\"f9d8e19f-6355-4fe8-b7fe-49b71125a548-link\">4<\/a><\/sup><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>trusting in God is linked to submitting to one's spouse<\/strong> - things seemingly unrelated, in fact very connected<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submitting to husbands is not easy for a woman, in fact it doesn't even make sense, especially when it comes to problematic men (and who isn't problematic?) - the motivation is trusting in God. In other words, I hope that God appreciates my attitude, so I submit to my husband.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>such women are called <strong>by the saints<\/strong> - thus set apart and purified for the service of God <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, and called him lord. Ye are become her daughters, if ye do well, and let nothing daunt you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sarah is an extreme case of this: in a sense, one could say that her husband \"ruined her life\". He took her away from her family to the \"end of the world\", made her a perpetual exile and a stranger. He committed catastrophic transgressions (twice he \"sold her to a brothel\"), he wanted to \"cut\" her only son.  If she still submitted to him, she must have known why. <strong>That reason was her own relationship with the Lord.<\/strong> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>through her faith and obedience, she was numbered among the heroes of faith of Hebrews 11 and made a major contribution to God's plan of salvation through her own work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>she was not to be intimidated<\/strong> - With what? Difficult circumstances and Abraham's \"terrible\" behavior.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7 In the same way, husbands: live with your wives according to knowledge, as with the weaker female vessel, and show them respect as fellow heirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Peter is not playing \"one-upmanship\". both genders have their roles and their challenges<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>live with women according to knowledge<\/strong>: men, you've probably already \"noticed\" that women are different<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>weaker female vessel<\/strong>: why <strong>container<\/strong>? It's a pretty apt description of us humans. The phrase \"vessels of sin\" is usually used. Our bodies are vessels that are filled with our selves. And that self can be all sorts of things. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>21 Therefore, whoever cleanses himself from these things will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Lord, prepared for every good work.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>women are mentioned here as <strong>weaker<\/strong>: on average, women are certainly weaker than men. At least physically. Otherwise, women are said to be more resilient than men. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>women are not diminished men, they are qualitatively completely different, this must be respected, they must be treated differently. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>by the way: <strong>God's concept of the two sexes complementing and supporting each other is brilliant<\/strong> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>show them respect: <\/strong>that's the job of men. That's how they're supposed to behave.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>women are <strong>co-heirs of the grace of life<\/strong>: that a new human being can arise is very unintelligible. It is pure grace. And life does not arise except from the union of man and woman. But it can be eternal life - eternal life is inherited from God by both sexes. In heaven, both sexes will probably be equally represented. (If not, women will predominate - there are more women than men in churches everywhere in the world)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ideally, men and women support each other in the journey towards God. It is harder for one to do it than two. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>so that your prayers will not be hindered: <\/strong> when men don't treat women with respect, it's a problem for many reasons. One important (and perhaps lesser known) reason is that when a man does not treat his wife well, God does not listen to his prayers. Or rather, his prayers. <strong>they have an obstacle.<\/strong> Disrespectful behavior gets in the way of a smooth, untarnished relationship with God. It's logical: it's tragic even for people to see someone behave abominably toward their wife (or husband) and then have a mouthful of pious words or beautiful prayers. Surely the Most High feels the same way. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>such prayers (against a background of abominable behaviour towards others) directly \"offend\" God - He expresses this explicitly, for example, at the beginning of the book of Isaiah: <em>Why do I care about the number of your victims? saith the Lord. I am satisfied with the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed cattle. I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls, lambs and goats. When ye come to show yourselves before me, who hath asked you to tread in my courts? Bring no more false sacrifices; incense is an abomination to me. New moons and sabbaths, calling meetings; I hate meetings where there is evil. Your new moons and feasts my soul hates; they are a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. When you spread out your palms, I close my eyes to you. Even when you multiply your prayers, I do not listen: Your hands are full of blood.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8 Finally, be all of you of one mind, compassionate, (full of brotherly love), merciful, and humble.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Finally,<\/strong>: so, to conclude the topic, I now address myself to men and women, to all Christians. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>be unanimous<\/strong>. so strive to be like-minded. Make an effort to discuss your thoughts with each other, to unite and try to agree<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I guess it's not that we all have to think the same thing about everything. It's not about \"glamorizing\" believers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>but to strive not to be needlessly divided <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>what else is important besides unity? <strong>Compassion<\/strong>: to look at each other with understanding, pity, helpfulness <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>full of brotherly love<\/strong>: we are trying to love each other. Love in God's concept means to seek the good of the other, it is not so much related to emotions. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>merciful:  <\/strong>A merciful look at each other is the key to everything. If we look at each other not with a prism of mercy but with judgment and severity, life becomes unbearable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Moreover, we automatically expect God's merciful attitude towards us, which is fine. But that is conditional on a merciful attitude towards our fellow man.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>humility: <\/strong>The list is long and difficult (but it is a question: being humble is actually very easy, we just don't like to do it). When we are humble, it makes life easier. We don't have to assert our dignity and importance, we don't overextend ourselves. We are correctable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Similar long lists of good qualities can be depressing in their unattainability. But it's not about ticking off individual items. But rather, <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">to get a general overview of what God (or Jesus) is like, what matters to Him.

An eye for an eye does not apply to Christians. Jesus brought this \"upgrade.\" <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>plus revenge doesn't even make sense. Is that true? It is and it is not: generally speaking <strong>revenge makes sense and will be carried out<\/strong>. No evil, no harm shall fall, nothing shall remain unrevenged. The problem is who is exacting vengeance. Vengeance is carried out by God, He will judge the world. Vengeance is not our task. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Retaliate <\/strong>means you're gonna give back to the other person what they did to you. This is the same as with revenge - retribution is necessary and will take place, but it belongs to God and not to us<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In a way, this is frightening, because the offences, being continuously unpunished, are cumulative.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>in Rev. 20:30 it is written: Scars and bruises cleanse the evil, wounds also the deepest inwardness. Punishment can therefore have a positive effect on a person, it can help him to get rid of evil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>But of course God knows this and is working with it. But we show our faith by not insisting on retribution, but giving it to God.<strong> And by waiving our own right to revanche, we give God the opportunity to work things out His way. <\/strong>And He knows best how to deal with people - \"where to ease up and where to push\".<sup data-fn=\"1127d0ee-b749-44b7-809f-14655d2fcf55\" class=\"fn\"><a href=\"#1127d0ee-b749-44b7-809f-14655d2fcf55\" id=\"1127d0ee-b749-44b7-809f-14655d2fcf55-link\">5<\/a><\/sup><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the greater the wrong we are willing to forgive for God's sake, the more valuable our decision is in God's eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>but our task is different from seeking retribution for wrongs - <strong>our job is to bless<\/strong>.

So what does he urge next?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>to sanctify the Lord, Christ in their hearts<\/strong>. He is apparently still speaking in the context of unjust persecution - so he is giving guidance on how such a situation can be handled.

This is a new \"concept\", a similar phrase is not commonly used<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does it mean that Christ is in our hearts, He is there, and we are to treat Him in some way?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Holy Spirit dwells in Christians, but Christ? Rather, to have someone in my heart usually means that I am thinking of him. When I'm traveling, I have my wife in my heart.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>so it could be the idea - <strong>keep in mind the fact that you belong to Christ. Think of Christ<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and how to sanctify Christ in the heart? <strong>To have a heart pure and set apart for Him<\/strong>. So that the heart does not accumulate \"where things are\" and there is no room for Christ.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sanctification means, among other things, separation. We have <strong>not to pollute the heart with millions of other, not to mention foolish or impure, thoughts that would overlay or pollute the thoughts of Christ. Let us watch what we think and what we let into our hearts<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>our thoughts are to be set apart for Him. In the heart the space for Christ is to be enlarged as much as possible and the space for the world is to be diminished.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>another requirement is <strong>be prepared to defend the number from hope<\/strong>. Perhaps Peter still means persecution for righteousness' sake - that is, if we are questioned \"under interrogation\" as to why we do what we do, why we behave as we do, we should be able to justify it.
