1 Peter 3:7 Bible Study

1 Peter 3:7 "Love, Honor, and Respect Your Wife"

Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

Video Notes:

  • In the previous few verses 1 Peter addressed a wife’s attitude and action toward her husband, particularly if their husband is not a believer.
  • Now, how is the husband to be towards his wife?
  • Live with your wife (don’t divorce) and love, honor, and respect your wife.
  • Ephesians 5:25
  • We see a pattern with God. There is order. In fact, there is order in nearly every relationship.
  • The order has one submitting to the other, but the one leading is to lead as a servant, looking out for the needs of the other.
  • In an understanding way…showing honor (listening to your wife, working to understand, honoring your wife before others, respecting your wife as a parent, etc.)
  • While there are roles, husband and wife are same before God in salvation, co-heirs (Galatians 3:23-29)
  • So that your prayers may not be hindered could mean a few things, but they are all good.
