This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Pe 3:1. Ὑποτασσόμενοι, subject) In the progress of the discourse, by a change of construction which is full of character, the participle is put for the imperative: 1Pe 3:7-8.-καὶ εἴ τινες, even if any) Peter speaks with mildness.-λόγῳ· λόγου, the word: word) Used in a double sense by the figure[23] Antanaclasis: in the former place, the Gospel is signified; in the latter, discourse. The conversation itself breathes the force of the doctrine.-κερδηθήσωνται) The future Subjunctive, of rare occurrence. So καυθήσωμαι, 1Co 13:3; ἐμβληθήσηται, Dan 3:11; Dan 6:7. It is a more remote future, as in Latin, lucraturus eris, you will be about to gain.
