A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

#And who is he that will harm you if ye be followers of that which is good? 1 Peter 3:13
The Greek word for harm is Kakoo meaning to ill-treat. From Kalos to injure; figuratively to exasperate. Acts 18:10 For I am with Thee and no man shall set on Thee to hurt thee: for I have many people in this city. The Lord comforts Peter that He is with him and no one can hurt you in this city. Trust in the Lord and do good, so shall thou dwell in the land and verily thou shall be Fed. This is why God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind.
#For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous and His ears are open unto their prayers but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. 1 Peter 3:12
The Greek word for evil is Kakos meaning bad. Apparently a primary word; is worthless (intrinsically, whereas Poneros properly refers to effects) i.e.depraved. Philippians 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. The Greek word for concision is Katatome. meaning mutilation. So the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous and His ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord is against those evil workers who plot mutilation. So beware of where you walk and who you hang out with. For evil companions corrupt good manners.
#Let him eschew evil and do good: let him seek peace And ensure it. 1 Peter 3:11
Remember September 11, 2001, we will not forget. The Greek word for eschew is. Ekklino means to turn away and avoid. To deviate, i..e. to shun. Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, Mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned and avoid them. Jesus said offenses would come but woe to him that causes them. If your brother offends you rebuke him and if he repented forgive him. Peter asked Jesus how many times shall I forgive my brother seven times? Jesus said no but seventy times seven. That is how we avoid evil and ensure peace. What makes today a day to remember, is that for the first time since Peal Habor America was attacked. God gives nations the right to wage war against those who start wars. Now as Christians, we must seek to be at peace with all men and follow holiness; for without holiness, no man will see the Lord. So Mark those who cause divisions in the body of Christ and avoid them. Live at peace with all men as much as possible. Forgive your brother if he sins against you and repent. This will protect the body from bitterness, whereby many be defiled. That is why Jesus gave us the secret to forgiveness. 70x7 the perfect number 490 times. Seven in the Bible is the number for completion. So completely forgive and do not harbor vengeance. The Lord will take care of that.
#For he that will love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil and his lips that they speak no guile. 1 Peter 3:10
The Greek word for guile is Dolos meaning craft and deceit. Matthew 26:4 And they consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty and kill Him. The Greek word for subtilty is Dolos This is what Peter is saying We must speak the truth in love and not guile if you love life. Death and life are in the power of the tongue. The tongue is set on fire from hell. We must bridle the tongue by the power of the Holy Spirit. My Mom always said if you do not have anything good to say about someone, then shut your mouth. This is how to keep the peace with all men and walk in holiness.
#Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing but contrariwise blessing: knowing that ye are whereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 1 Peter 3:9
The Greek word for railing is. Loidiria meaning abuse. From Loidoros meaning slander or vituperation. 1 Timothy 5:14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. Peter is telling the wives not to slander after being slandered, but to give a blessing, since we will inherit a blessing. Paul tells Timothy to have the young women marry and have children; being keepers at home. Not giving the enemy an opportunity to speak evil of them. This is how the Christian home is to be Holy and separated to God.
#Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous. 1 Peter 3:8
The Greek word for pitiful is Eusplanchnos. Meaning tender-hearted and compassionate I.e. sympathetic Ephesians 4:32 And be kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Peter & Paul use the same Greek word for pitiful or tender-hearted. Love as brethren being compassionate, and forgiving as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you. I thank God for Pastor Coultor who helped me at a difficult time in my ministry helping me to restore a relationship for a couple that I ministered to on the job. We must love the Greek word Agape which is unconditional love that God has for us and we can forgive as Christ has forgiven us. Showing kindness one to another in acts of kindness such as a foot and neck massage. Jesus washed the disciples' feet teaching them humility and love. Jesus said a new commandment Give I to you that you love one another as I have loved you.
#Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. 1 Peter 3:7
The Greek word for hindered is Ekkopto meaning to cut down and to frustrate. Matthew 18:8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off and cast them from thee: it is better for Thee to enter into life halt or mained, rather than having two hands and two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. Peter is comparing the husband wife relationship to the body. Since ye shall be one flesh to dwell with them according to knowledge, treating them as the weaker vessel so that your prayers will not be hindered or frustrated and cut off. As Jesus said if your hand or your foot offend you, it is better to cut them off, so that you will not be cast into hell fire.This is telling us how we must love our wives and be willing to Maine ourselves to strengthen the relationship. So this is the love that Christ has for the Church in that He laid down His life for the Church. We must do likewise and be willing to lay our lives down for our wives. This will keep our prayer life Holy and complete.
#Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well and is not afraid with any amazement. 1 Peter 3::6
The Greek word for amazement is Ptoesis meaning a fluttering, excitement, and terror. Proverbs 3:25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolations of the wicked when it cometh. Peter is telling wives to obey their husbands, as Sara did Abraham calling him Lord. Whose daughters ye are just do not fear as when destruction comes on the wicked when it comes. For God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind. Therefore let the older women teach the wives how to love and obey the husband.
#For after this manner in old times the Holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands. 1 Peter 3:5
The Greek word for old time is Pote meaning once, ever. At some time in the past. John 9:13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. That Greek word for a aforetime is Pote and the Pharisees did not believe Jesus had restored the young man born blind's Eye sight. Jesus had told them he was born blind at an aforetime for the will of God. This is the same word for old times for Holy women to be in subjection to their own husbands in the Lord. Now if you are married to an unbelieving husband you must submit to him also, as long as he does not ask you to do anything contrary to the Word of God. Live a holy life as God has called us to be Holy or set apart for His use. Therefore glorify God by the way you talk and dress so that your husband will be pleased with you.
# But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 1 Peter 3:4
Happy Labor Day serve your neighbors look out for the elderly. The Greek word for hidden is Kryptos meaning concealed, i.e. Private. Inwardly secret. From Krupto. Matthew 10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed and hid, that shall not be known. This is the context that Peter is talking about God knows our hearts and the gospel that wives are to preach is a meek and quiet spirit. Which in the sight of God is of great price. This is the hidden man of the heart. For God will reveal your pious life at the Judgment Seat of Christ. These ornaments will be made known for all to see.
