00:00:01.590 --> 00:00:04.290
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:04.290 --> 00:00:08.310
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.310 --> 00:00:11.580
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:15.180
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:15.180 --> 00:00:17.130
uncertain times
6
00:00:17.130 --> 00:00:20.400
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:21.840
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:26.400
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.270 --> 00:00:29.190
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:32.460
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:36.330
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:40.200
Hey friends, this is Rick Renner.
13
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:42.270
It is the end of the week.
14
00:00:42.270 --> 00:00:45.090
It feels like this week
has just gone like that.
15
00:00:45.090 --> 00:00:48.420
We've had such a good time
in 1st Peter together
16
00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:50.820
as we've been studying relationships.
17
00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:53.190
And today's the last day that
we're offering this series,
18
00:00:53.190 --> 00:00:56.010
which is called, What the Bible Says About Relationships
19
00:00:56.010 --> 00:00:58.530
and we cover a wide
gamut of relationships.
20
00:00:58.530 --> 00:01:00.510
And today we're gonna cover the final
21
00:01:00.510 --> 00:01:01.740
part, but please order this.
22
00:01:01.740 --> 00:01:04.590
It's five parts, comes with a study guide.
23
00:01:04.590 --> 00:01:07.740
And we're also offering you today, the last day this week
24
00:01:07.740 --> 00:01:11.430
of the RIV, the Green Version which is Vol.II,
25
00:01:11.430 --> 00:01:13.260
1st & 2nd Peter.
26
00:01:13.260 --> 00:01:16.860
It is a conceptual interpretation of the Greek New Testament
27
00:01:16.860 --> 00:01:19.470
with footnotes and commentary.
28
00:01:19.470 --> 00:01:20.970
And today we're gonna be picking up
29
00:01:20.970 --> 00:01:23.220
where we left off in yesterday's program.
30
00:01:23.220 --> 00:01:25.560
Yesterday I was addressing men
31
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:28.920
and I moved very quickly through the end of verse 7,
32
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.260
and I want to cover it just a little bit deeper.
33
00:01:31.260 --> 00:01:33.180
Then we're gonna move on to verse 9,
34
00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:35.430
where he addresses a very wide audience.
35
00:01:35.430 --> 00:01:36.990
But reach for your Bible
36
00:01:36.990 --> 00:01:39.900
and let's open our Bibles today to 1 Peter
37
00:01:39.900 --> 00:01:42.480
3:7.
38
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.140
And I want to remind you that
if you need prayer, we want
39
00:01:46.140 --> 00:01:47.760
to pray for you.
40
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:49.380
We are praying people.
41
00:01:49.380 --> 00:01:53.730
And when I tell you that we
pray, I mean we really pray.
42
00:01:53.730 --> 00:01:56.160
So if you've got any need
on your heart, just call
43
00:01:56.160 --> 00:01:58.860
that number on the screen
and please write it down.
44
00:01:58.860 --> 00:02:01.440
You should save that
number so that one day,
45
00:02:01.440 --> 00:02:03.030
if you're not watching the TV program
46
00:02:03.030 --> 00:02:04.500
but you wish you had somebody to pray
47
00:02:04.500 --> 00:02:05.880
with, you'll know who to call.
48
00:02:05.880 --> 00:02:08.820
Call that number. We are here
for you. We'll pray for you.
49
00:02:08.820 --> 00:02:10.080
We will be confidential.
50
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.590
We know how to pray
and Jesus will respond.
51
00:02:13.590 --> 00:02:15.390
If you wish, you can send us an email,
52
00:02:15.390 --> 00:02:16.980
but let us know how to pray for you.
53
00:02:16.980 --> 00:02:19.260
But let's go to 1 Peter 3:7,
54
00:02:19.260 --> 00:02:22.740
and review what Peter had to say to husbands.
55
00:02:22.740 --> 00:02:24.780
Now, I told you yesterday
56
00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:28.740
that Peter devoted 6 verses to wives.
57
00:02:28.740 --> 00:02:33.210
It almost seems unfair except
Peter understood the power
58
00:02:33.210 --> 00:02:36.330
that a wife has in the home.
59
00:02:36.330 --> 00:02:38.400
Wives are really powerful.
60
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.860
They have the ability
to build up their home,
61
00:02:40.860 --> 00:02:43.260
they have the ability
to tear down their home,
62
00:02:43.260 --> 00:02:45.210
and they're so powerful
63
00:02:45.210 --> 00:02:48.900
that Peter devoted 6 verses to the women.
64
00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:52.230
Then he comes to verse 7, just one verse to men,
65
00:02:52.230 --> 00:02:55.740
but he really puts a lot into that verse.
66
00:02:55.740 --> 00:02:57.540
Now when you read it in the King's James Version,
67
00:02:57.540 --> 00:03:00.340
it's rather small, but
in the Greek text itself,
68
00:03:00.340 --> 00:03:01.840
there's a lot of flavor,
69
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:03.160
there's a lot of nuances
70
00:03:03.160 --> 00:03:06.160
that are not carried into
the King James version.
71
00:03:06.160 --> 00:03:07.720
So I'm gonna give you the King James
72
00:03:07.720 --> 00:03:09.550
and then I'm gonna give you the RIV.
73
00:03:09.550 --> 00:03:11.890
So let's look at it.
The King James version
74
00:03:11.890 --> 00:03:13.930
of 1 Peter 3:7 says,
75
00:03:13.930 --> 00:03:16.870
Likewise, you husbands dwell with them -
76
00:03:16.870 --> 00:03:20.110
that is your wives - according to knowledge;
77
00:03:20.110 --> 00:03:22.810
giving honor unto the wife as unto the weaker vessel
78
00:03:22.810 --> 00:03:25.300
and being heirs together of the grace of life
79
00:03:25.300 --> 00:03:27.280
that your prayers be not hindered.
80
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.590
Well, what does that mean - dwell with them.
81
00:03:29.590 --> 00:03:31.900
What does that mean?
The Greek text tells us
82
00:03:31.900 --> 00:03:33.580
exactly what it means.
83
00:03:33.580 --> 00:03:36.400
What does it mean when it
says according to knowledge?
84
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:38.680
The Greek text really explains this.
85
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.740
What does it mean when it says
giving honor unto the wife?
86
00:03:41.740 --> 00:03:43.450
How do you give honor to the wife?
87
00:03:43.450 --> 00:03:45.610
And why does he call her a weaker vessel?
88
00:03:45.610 --> 00:03:47.440
What does that mean? And being heirs
89
00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:48.760
together of the grace of life?
90
00:03:48.760 --> 00:03:51.430
What is that? And finally, this last part
91
00:03:51.430 --> 00:03:52.960
that your prayers be not hindered.
92
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.690
What in the world is that talking about?
93
00:03:55.690 --> 00:03:58.510
Well, the answer is on the Greek text
94
00:03:58.510 --> 00:04:01.360
and the RIV interprets it like this.
95
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.190
Now listen to this.
96
00:04:03.190 --> 00:04:07.000
And by the way, husbands, just
as I've spoken to wives, now,
97
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.040
Peter is gonna address the husbands.
98
00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:11.440
He's been married for more than 50 years.
99
00:04:11.440 --> 00:04:13.300
He's got a lot to say.
100
00:04:13.300 --> 00:04:15.880
He knows that for the
husbands to listen to him,
101
00:04:15.880 --> 00:04:17.950
he's gotta make it a
power packed statement.
102
00:04:17.950 --> 00:04:19.810
He's gotta say it fast
103
00:04:19.810 --> 00:04:21.580
and he is gotta really speak it tough.
104
00:04:21.580 --> 00:04:24.850
And so he is gonna speak some
really straight instruction
105
00:04:24.850 --> 00:04:26.890
to the husbands - and he says,
106
00:04:26.890 --> 00:04:31.180
And by the way, husbands, just as I've spoken to wives,
107
00:04:31.180 --> 00:04:33.970
I have some things to say to you as well.
108
00:04:33.970 --> 00:04:35.020
It is important
109
00:04:35.020 --> 00:04:39.670
that you husbands do more
than merely share space in a
110
00:04:39.670 --> 00:04:41.500
house with your wives.
111
00:04:41.500 --> 00:04:45.520
They need you to share
your life with them.
112
00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:47.320
Do all you can
113
00:04:47.320 --> 00:04:51.580
to gain firsthand helpful knowledge about your wives:
114
00:04:51.580 --> 00:04:55.420
how they think, what helps them or doesn't help them.
115
00:04:55.420 --> 00:04:58.030
And then live with them unto the influence
116
00:04:58.030 --> 00:05:01.810
of the valuable information that you've learned about them.
117
00:05:01.810 --> 00:05:06.580
And husbands don't expect them to be as physically strong
118
00:05:06.580 --> 00:05:08.200
as you are,
119
00:05:08.200 --> 00:05:10.870
but instead you need
to treat them as those
120
00:05:10.870 --> 00:05:13.690
who live in physically weaker vessels
121
00:05:13.690 --> 00:05:18.340
and make it your personal aim
to always give intentional,
122
00:05:18.340 --> 00:05:22.060
preferential, honorable
treatment to your wives.
123
00:05:22.060 --> 00:05:26.410
Treat them as they actually are joint heirs
124
00:05:26.410 --> 00:05:30.460
and equal inheritors with you of a life that is
125
00:05:30.460 --> 00:05:33.520
to be blessed, favored
126
00:05:33.520 --> 00:05:36.040
and marked by grace.
127
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:40.660
Living this way with your wife
will have the clear result
128
00:05:40.660 --> 00:05:43.150
of your prayers together
not being disrupted
129
00:05:43.150 --> 00:05:45.760
or hindered, leaving you feeling
130
00:05:45.760 --> 00:05:48.070
as if you've hit an impasse in prayer
131
00:05:48.070 --> 00:05:49.630
that you can't break through.
132
00:05:49.630 --> 00:05:53.080
But notice that last statement - not being disrupted
133
00:05:53.080 --> 00:05:55.840
or hindered, leaving you feeling
134
00:05:55.840 --> 00:05:57.680
as if you've hit an impasse in prayer
135
00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:59.330
that you can't break through.
136
00:05:59.330 --> 00:06:02.300
Why in the world is the RIV
interpreted in that way?
137
00:06:02.300 --> 00:06:05.750
Well, it is explained at footnote No.562.
138
00:06:05.750 --> 00:06:08.030
Friends, I'm telling you, these footnotes are just powerful.
139
00:06:08.030 --> 00:06:10.760
The commentary is worth the whole book.
140
00:06:10.760 --> 00:06:15.470
But in footnote No.562, it says, the words "disrupted
141
00:06:15.470 --> 00:06:17.690
or hindered leaving you feeling
142
00:06:17.690 --> 00:06:21.620
as if you've hit an impasse
in prayer that you can't break
143
00:06:21.620 --> 00:06:23.702
through" are interpreted from a form of
144
00:06:23.702 --> 00:06:25.253
the Greek word, egkopto,
145
00:06:25.253 --> 00:06:29.120
which is an old word
used to describe a road
146
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:33.230
so deteriorated and so broken
up that it was impassable.
147
00:06:33.230 --> 00:06:37.730
And as a result, the
traveler's trip was hindered,
148
00:06:37.730 --> 00:06:42.260
delayed, postponed, or
temporarily put off.
149
00:06:42.260 --> 00:06:45.140
It was also used to portray
the moment when a runner was
150
00:06:45.140 --> 00:06:47.690
running and another runner
came up alongside of him
151
00:06:47.690 --> 00:06:49.550
to elbow him out of the race
152
00:06:49.550 --> 00:06:53.270
or when a fellow runner attempted
153
00:06:53.270 --> 00:06:57.350
to hinder a fellow
competitor's effectiveness.
154
00:06:57.350 --> 00:07:01.820
But here it carries the idea
of disruption in prayer,
155
00:07:01.820 --> 00:07:05.450
and it informs us that marital disharmony
156
00:07:05.450 --> 00:07:08.450
can hinder a couple's
effectiveness in prayer.
157
00:07:08.450 --> 00:07:12.860
And that likewise, marital
harmony can remove disruptions
158
00:07:12.860 --> 00:07:16.700
and impasses and pave the way for prayer
159
00:07:16.700 --> 00:07:20.360
to find a successful result.
160
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:22.670
You know, Denise and I rarely have strife
161
00:07:22.670 --> 00:07:24.710
or conflict in our marriage
162
00:07:24.710 --> 00:07:27.710
because we made a decision that we're not gonna have strife.
163
00:07:27.710 --> 00:07:29.480
We have a no strife policy in our home
164
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:31.460
and we just don't permit strife.
165
00:07:31.460 --> 00:07:34.580
But if we ever have a moment
where we don't have harmony,
166
00:07:34.580 --> 00:07:37.580
I know it's going to
affect my ability to pray.
167
00:07:37.580 --> 00:07:39.620
It's going to affect
Denise's ability to pray.
168
00:07:39.620 --> 00:07:41.990
That's what Peter says in this verse.
169
00:07:41.990 --> 00:07:45.740
And if we want our prayers to
really pave our way to success
170
00:07:45.740 --> 00:07:47.330
and pave our way into healing
171
00:07:47.330 --> 00:07:50.330
and pave our way into victory,
172
00:07:50.330 --> 00:07:53.150
we've gotta have harmony in our marriage.
173
00:07:53.150 --> 00:07:55.730
And when a husband and wife
are sharing life together
174
00:07:55.730 --> 00:07:58.730
and they're walking together
the way they're supposed to,
175
00:07:58.730 --> 00:08:01.490
it means their prayers are
not going to be disrupted.
176
00:08:01.490 --> 00:08:03.980
They're not gonna hit
an impasse in prayer.
177
00:08:03.980 --> 00:08:07.610
They're gonna be able to
move forward in prayer.
178
00:08:07.610 --> 00:08:11.210
This is really powerful
instruction in this verse,
179
00:08:11.210 --> 00:08:13.100
particularly to husbands,
180
00:08:13.100 --> 00:08:16.340
but that instruction
is also good for wives.
181
00:08:16.340 --> 00:08:18.380
But then we come to verse 8,
182
00:08:18.380 --> 00:08:21.710
and in verse 8, Peter continues speaking to husbands
183
00:08:21.710 --> 00:08:24.440
and wives and to everybody else also.
184
00:08:24.440 --> 00:08:26.990
So when you come to the King James Version in 1 Peter
185
00:08:26.990 --> 00:08:30.290
3:8, it says - Finally,
186
00:08:30.290 --> 00:08:35.240
be ye all of one mind having compassion one
187
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.380
of another love as brethren: be pitiful,
188
00:08:39.380 --> 00:08:40.820
be courteous.
189
00:08:40.820 --> 00:08:43.430
The RIV says it like this - are you ready?
190
00:08:44.390 --> 00:08:48.860
But I have a really important
additional final word.
191
00:08:48.860 --> 00:08:53.480
Corporately, all of you are
to be synchronized as much
192
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:58.350
as possible in your mind's
perceptions and understanding.
193
00:08:58.350 --> 00:09:01.380
You must also be compassionate, sympathetic
194
00:09:01.380 --> 00:09:06.120
and empathetic toward each other, loving each other as those
195
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:08.430
who are actually related to each other.
196
00:09:08.430 --> 00:09:11.880
In other words, love like real brothers.
197
00:09:11.880 --> 00:09:16.380
You must have emotions for each other so deeply felt
198
00:09:16.380 --> 00:09:19.650
that it moves you from a gut level to reach out
199
00:09:19.650 --> 00:09:22.710
to do whatever you can to help each other.
200
00:09:22.710 --> 00:09:25.650
Be unassuming, unpretentious,
201
00:09:25.650 --> 00:09:28.020
having no heirs about yourself:
202
00:09:28.020 --> 00:09:30.870
even if you're more gifted than others,
203
00:09:30.870 --> 00:09:33.540
don't be self-promoting,
204
00:09:33.540 --> 00:09:37.890
but intentionally think
modestly of yourself.
205
00:09:37.890 --> 00:09:41.160
My friends, this is a
good word for all of us.
206
00:09:41.160 --> 00:09:44.400
And the King James Version
says, finally, the RIV says,
207
00:09:44.400 --> 00:09:47.190
but I have a really important
additional final word,
208
00:09:47.190 --> 00:09:51.295
corporately, all of you,
corporately, all of you.
209
00:09:51.295 --> 00:09:55.620
And footnote No.564 explains -
210
00:09:55.620 --> 00:09:57.210
The words "corporately,
211
00:09:57.210 --> 00:09:59.520
all of you" are translated from a form
212
00:09:59.520 --> 00:10:02.940
of the Greek word pantes, which is an all inclusive term
213
00:10:02.940 --> 00:10:06.000
that means everyone with no exception.
214
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:09.810
So everything in verse 8 is for everyone with no
215
00:10:09.810 --> 00:10:11.310
exceptions.
216
00:10:11.310 --> 00:10:15.330
Some take the words that
follow to be a continuation
217
00:10:15.330 --> 00:10:18.270
of Peter's direction to husbands and wives.
218
00:10:18.270 --> 00:10:20.130
And although these words are very helpful
219
00:10:20.130 --> 00:10:22.590
to the marital relationship, the word pantes
220
00:10:22.590 --> 00:10:25.590
which means all believers,
means what he is going
221
00:10:25.590 --> 00:10:28.890
to say here is not only
beneficial for marriage,
222
00:10:28.890 --> 00:10:32.160
but for every relationship
with no exception.
223
00:10:32.160 --> 00:10:34.110
So now the RIV says -
224
00:10:34.110 --> 00:10:36.330
But I have a really important additional final word,
225
00:10:36.330 --> 00:10:38.520
corporately, all of you.
226
00:10:38.520 --> 00:10:42.270
And then he says, are to
be synchronized as much
227
00:10:42.270 --> 00:10:45.810
as possible in your
minds, your perceptions
228
00:10:45.810 --> 00:10:47.610
and understanding.
229
00:10:47.610 --> 00:10:52.230
And that is explained in footnote No.565,
230
00:10:52.230 --> 00:10:55.980
which says - The words "synchronized as much
231
00:10:55.980 --> 00:10:57.660
as possible in your mind
232
00:10:57.660 --> 00:11:00.570
perception and understanding" are from a form
233
00:11:00.570 --> 00:11:03.120
of two Greek words which are compounded together.
234
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:06.030
The 1st word is homou, the 2nd word is phren.
235
00:11:06.030 --> 00:11:08.280
The 1st word means together
236
00:11:08.280 --> 00:11:11.790
and it depicts something that
is united with something else.
237
00:11:11.790 --> 00:11:13.950
The 2nd word is the word phren,
238
00:11:13.950 --> 00:11:16.050
which depicts intelligence, the mind,
239
00:11:16.050 --> 00:11:17.460
the perception or understanding.
240
00:11:17.460 --> 00:11:19.800
But when these two words
are compounded together,
241
00:11:19.800 --> 00:11:23.730
it means similarly minded
or of the same mind.
242
00:11:23.730 --> 00:11:24.960
It is the picture of two
243
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.560
or more that are similar in their thinking, their reasoning
244
00:11:28.560 --> 00:11:30.720
and their conclusions.
245
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:32.670
Well it's very difficult to attain that,
246
00:11:32.670 --> 00:11:35.880
and that is why the RIV translates it - corporately,
247
00:11:35.880 --> 00:11:39.540
all of you are to be synchronized as much as possible,
248
00:11:39.540 --> 00:11:43.890
as much as possible in your minds, your perception
249
00:11:43.890 --> 00:11:45.780
and understanding; that is such good
250
00:11:45.780 --> 00:11:47.580
instruction from the word of God.
251
00:11:47.580 --> 00:11:51.390
And then it goes on to say - You must also be compassionate,
252
00:11:51.390 --> 00:11:55.060
sympathetic and empathetic toward each other.
253
00:11:55.060 --> 00:11:57.130
Sometimes we tend to be judgmental
254
00:11:57.130 --> 00:12:00.820
and corrective of one another
and it's not always helpful.
255
00:12:00.820 --> 00:12:02.590
And now Peter says, Hey guys,
256
00:12:02.590 --> 00:12:04.660
why don't you take this approach?
257
00:12:04.660 --> 00:12:07.960
You must also be compassionate, sympathetic,
258
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:10.330
and empathetic toward each other.
259
00:12:10.330 --> 00:12:14.110
And footnote No.566 explains -
260
00:12:14.110 --> 00:12:16.690
The words "compassionate, sympathetic,
261
00:12:16.690 --> 00:12:17.523
and empathetic toward each other"
262
00:12:17.523 --> 00:12:19.273
are interpreted from a form
263
00:12:19.273 --> 00:12:21.250
of the Greek word sumpathes,
264
00:12:21.250 --> 00:12:23.170
which is a compound of the word sun
265
00:12:23.170 --> 00:12:27.550
and the word pascho. The preposition sun means together with
266
00:12:27.550 --> 00:12:31.660
and carries the idea of joint
activity or partnership.
267
00:12:31.660 --> 00:12:34.060
The word pascho means I suffer
268
00:12:34.060 --> 00:12:36.190
and it can refer to
either mental emotionally
269
00:12:36.190 --> 00:12:37.240
or physical suffering.
270
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.140
But as a compound, it means
to mutually share emotions,
271
00:12:41.140 --> 00:12:42.760
feelings, or struggles.
272
00:12:42.760 --> 00:12:46.600
It pictures those that are
compassionate, sympathetic
273
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:47.860
and empathetic.
274
00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:50.770
And it is where we get the word sympathy,
275
00:12:50.770 --> 00:12:52.603
the Greek word sumpathes.
276
00:12:52.603 --> 00:12:54.803
That's where
you get the word sympathy.
277
00:12:54.803 --> 00:12:58.870
And so now Peter says, you
must also be compassionate.
278
00:12:58.870 --> 00:13:01.480
Are you compassionate
in your relationships?
279
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.080
You must be sympathetic.
Are you sympathetic?
280
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.420
Are you empathetic toward each other?
281
00:13:07.420 --> 00:13:09.640
That's what the verse
says we're supposed to be.
282
00:13:09.640 --> 00:13:14.590
And then it goes on to say in
the King James Version, love
283
00:13:14.590 --> 00:13:18.010
as brethren. The RIV interprets it like this -
284
00:13:18.010 --> 00:13:20.470
Loving each other as those
285
00:13:20.470 --> 00:13:22.900
who are actually related to each other.
286
00:13:22.900 --> 00:13:26.530
In other words, love like real brothers.
287
00:13:26.530 --> 00:13:28.570
Now let me give you an example.
288
00:13:28.570 --> 00:13:32.020
If I have a conflict with my sons
289
00:13:32.020 --> 00:13:35.890
or if I have a conflict
with Denise, which is very,
290
00:13:35.890 --> 00:13:39.010
very, rare and I feel that it's
291
00:13:39.880 --> 00:13:43.030
becoming unhealthy, I always
stop and I speak to myself.
292
00:13:43.030 --> 00:13:44.080
Let's talk about Denise.
293
00:13:45.220 --> 00:13:49.990
And I always say, Rick, in
addition to being your wife,
294
00:13:49.990 --> 00:13:51.400
she's your sister in the Lord,
295
00:13:51.400 --> 00:13:53.770
and she was your sister in the Lord
296
00:13:53.770 --> 00:13:58.630
before she was your wife. How would you speak
297
00:13:58.630 --> 00:14:00.130
to any other sister at church?
298
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.520
Would you be judgmental?
Would you be corrective?
299
00:14:03.520 --> 00:14:06.790
Would you be denigrating
to any woman at the church?
300
00:14:06.790 --> 00:14:09.310
Of course not. I respect
them. They're blood bought.
301
00:14:10.390 --> 00:14:13.000
They're my sisters in Christ.
They deserve my respect.
302
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:14.860
Even if I don't like what they've done,
303
00:14:14.860 --> 00:14:16.510
I don't appreciate what they say.
304
00:14:16.510 --> 00:14:19.750
I'm gonna be kind to them
because they're my sisters.
305
00:14:19.750 --> 00:14:22.810
Well, guess what? Denise
is my sister and the Lord
306
00:14:22.810 --> 00:14:24.940
before she's my wife.
307
00:14:24.940 --> 00:14:28.630
She and I are related in
Christ. How about my sons?
308
00:14:28.630 --> 00:14:31.150
They may be my natural sons,
309
00:14:31.150 --> 00:14:33.880
but the most eternal relationship I have
310
00:14:33.880 --> 00:14:35.680
with them is they're all saved.
311
00:14:35.680 --> 00:14:38.170
My sons are also my brothers in Christ.
312
00:14:39.310 --> 00:14:42.310
And just on the basis
of that relationship,
313
00:14:42.310 --> 00:14:45.490
Denise is my sister, my
sons are my brothers.
314
00:14:45.490 --> 00:14:46.570
Yes, they're my sons.
315
00:14:46.570 --> 00:14:47.980
Yes, Denise is my wife,
316
00:14:49.150 --> 00:14:51.230
but they deserve at least what I would
317
00:14:51.230 --> 00:14:52.670
to anybody else at the church.
318
00:14:52.670 --> 00:14:54.980
I'm to love them as
brethren, I'm to love Denise
319
00:14:54.980 --> 00:14:57.800
as my sister, and I shouldn't speak to her
320
00:14:57.800 --> 00:15:01.520
or to my sons in a worse way than I would
321
00:15:01.520 --> 00:15:02.540
to anybody at church.
322
00:15:02.540 --> 00:15:05.150
This is just really good advice.
323
00:15:05.150 --> 00:15:08.480
Love as brethren, love as brethren.
324
00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:11.240
Remember that spouse of yours is your brotherb-
325
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:14.450
it is your sister. Your kids, they may be your kids,
326
00:15:14.450 --> 00:15:15.890
but if they're saved, they're also your
327
00:15:15.890 --> 00:15:17.360
brother, they're your sister.
328
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:21.410
You need to speak to them as brethren.
329
00:15:21.410 --> 00:15:24.320
And of course you can apply
this to every relationship
330
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:26.810
with those that are children of God.
331
00:15:26.810 --> 00:15:29.120
But it says - loving each other -
332
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:31.550
this is the RIV - as those
333
00:15:31.550 --> 00:15:33.710
who are actually related to each other.
334
00:15:33.710 --> 00:15:36.920
In other words, love like real brothers.
335
00:15:36.920 --> 00:15:38.600
And then the RIV goes on to say,
336
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:41.240
you must have emotions for each other
337
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:43.730
so deeply felt
338
00:15:45.140 --> 00:15:48.590
that it moves you from
a gut level to reach out
339
00:15:48.590 --> 00:15:51.830
to do whatever you can to help each other.
340
00:15:53.060 --> 00:15:56.930
In the King James Version,
it simply says, be pitiful.
341
00:15:56.930 --> 00:15:58.220
Well, when you read that in the King James
342
00:15:58.220 --> 00:15:59.540
Version - be pitiful -
343
00:15:59.540 --> 00:16:01.460
what in the world does that mean?
344
00:16:01.460 --> 00:16:03.650
I like the RIV so much better.
345
00:16:03.650 --> 00:16:06.560
It says, you must have
emotions for each other
346
00:16:06.560 --> 00:16:10.190
so deeply felt that it
moves you from a gut level
347
00:16:10.190 --> 00:16:12.590
to reach out to do whatever
you can to help each other.
348
00:16:12.590 --> 00:16:15.710
And the reason it is interpreted in this way is explained in
349
00:16:15.710 --> 00:16:19.700
footnote No.568, which says -
350
00:16:19.700 --> 00:16:23.060
The words "emotions for each other so deeply felt
351
00:16:23.060 --> 00:16:26.420
that it moves you from a gut level to reach out
352
00:16:26.420 --> 00:16:28.850
to do whatever you can to help each other"
353
00:16:28.850 --> 00:16:30.950
are interpreted from plural form of the word
354
00:16:30.950 --> 00:16:32.930
eusplagchnos, which is a compound
355
00:16:32.930 --> 00:16:33.980
of the word eu and the word splagchnos.
356
00:16:34.850 --> 00:16:39.560
The word eu means well or swell, like one that is pleased.
357
00:16:39.560 --> 00:16:44.060
It can also be the picture of the blessing or prosperity.
358
00:16:44.060 --> 00:16:47.420
The 2nd part of the word splagchna, is the Greek word
359
00:16:47.420 --> 00:16:48.253
for the inner organs.
360
00:16:48.253 --> 00:16:49.835
Now, I know this is strange,
361
00:16:49.835 --> 00:16:51.535
but this is really the Greek word.
362
00:16:51.535 --> 00:16:53.984
The word splagchna pictures,
363
00:16:53.984 --> 00:16:56.060
the inner organs,
364
00:16:56.060 --> 00:16:59.150
but primarily the bowels, the gut or intestines
365
00:16:59.150 --> 00:17:01.610
and is used in the New Testament
366
00:17:01.610 --> 00:17:04.310
to describe deeply felt emotions.
367
00:17:04.310 --> 00:17:07.610
And when compounded to form the word eusplagchnos,
368
00:17:07.610 --> 00:17:11.420
it pictures a person who's
deeply moved with compassion
369
00:17:11.420 --> 00:17:14.720
or a deeply felt emotion that moves him
370
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.060
to do something for someone else.
371
00:17:17.060 --> 00:17:19.280
This is no mere pity,
372
00:17:19.280 --> 00:17:23.240
but rather an inward
compassion that's so moving
373
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:24.710
that it urges, propels
374
00:17:24.710 --> 00:17:28.070
or drives one to take some kind of action
375
00:17:28.070 --> 00:17:30.260
for someone else in order to help them.
376
00:17:32.090 --> 00:17:35.030
That should be working in our lives.
377
00:17:35.030 --> 00:17:40.030
Wow! Again, emotions for each other so deeply felt
378
00:17:40.070 --> 00:17:42.800
that it moves you from
a gut level to reach out
379
00:17:42.800 --> 00:17:45.500
to do whatever you can to help each other.
380
00:17:45.500 --> 00:17:47.180
You know, if we would
do what this verse says,
381
00:17:47.180 --> 00:17:50.140
we would not have any problems in our relationships
382
00:17:50.140 --> 00:17:54.090
and then it goes on to say - be unassuming,
383
00:17:54.090 --> 00:17:58.530
unpretentious, having no airs about you. Even
384
00:17:58.530 --> 00:18:02.880
if you are more gifted than others, don't be self-promoting,
385
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:07.715
but intentionally think modestly of yourself. My friends,
386
00:18:07.715 --> 00:18:09.420
you need to think modestly of yourself.
387
00:18:09.420 --> 00:18:11.940
Even if you think you're better than others.
388
00:18:11.940 --> 00:18:13.920
If you think you're better than somebody else,
389
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:15.990
you're probably not gonna be
able to be a help to them.
390
00:18:15.990 --> 00:18:17.280
You've gotta bring yourself down
391
00:18:17.280 --> 00:18:20.430
and remember that Jesus who thought it not robbery
392
00:18:20.430 --> 00:18:23.700
to be equal with God, made
himself of no reputation
393
00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:26.100
and took upon himself
the form of a servant
394
00:18:26.100 --> 00:18:29.820
and came to the earth
so he could reach us.
395
00:18:29.820 --> 00:18:33.540
We're just being told in this
verse to do what Jesus did.
396
00:18:33.540 --> 00:18:35.580
It's interesting, the King James Version,
397
00:18:35.580 --> 00:18:37.470
it simply says, be courteous.
398
00:18:37.470 --> 00:18:39.300
It really misses a lot of the point.
399
00:18:39.300 --> 00:18:42.150
But let me give you the whole verse in the King James
400
00:18:42.150 --> 00:18:45.030
and then in the RIV, so the King James,
401
00:18:45.030 --> 00:18:48.210
1 Peter 3:8 says, Finally be y'all
402
00:18:48.210 --> 00:18:51.870
of one mind, having compassion one of another.
403
00:18:51.870 --> 00:18:56.280
Love as brethren; be pitiful, be courteous: period,
404
00:18:56.280 --> 00:19:00.000
that's it. But the RIV says -
405
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:02.520
But I have a really important
additional final word.
406
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:07.410
Corporately, all of you are
to be synchronized as much
407
00:19:07.410 --> 00:19:12.060
as possible in your mind's
perceptions and understanding.
408
00:19:12.060 --> 00:19:14.640
You must also be compassionate, sympathetic,
409
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:19.640
and empathetic toward each other, loving each other as those
410
00:19:19.770 --> 00:19:22.110
who are actually related to each other.
411
00:19:22.110 --> 00:19:25.560
In other words, love like real brothers.
412
00:19:25.560 --> 00:19:27.870
You must have emotions for each other
413
00:19:27.870 --> 00:19:31.440
so deeply felt that it moves you from a gut level
414
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:34.920
to reach out to do whatever you can to help each other.
415
00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:38.820
Be unassuming, unpretentious, having no airs about you,
416
00:19:40.050 --> 00:19:43.005
even if you're more gifted than others,
417
00:19:43.005 --> 00:19:44.820
don't be self-promoting,
418
00:19:44.820 --> 00:19:48.840
but intentionally think
modestly of yourself.
419
00:19:48.840 --> 00:19:50.490
Now, my friends, that is power packed.
420
00:19:50.490 --> 00:19:51.660
But then you move to verse 9
421
00:19:51.660 --> 00:19:53.430
and we're gonna cover it very quickly.
422
00:19:53.430 --> 00:19:56.940
And in verse 9, the King James Version says,
423
00:19:56.940 --> 00:20:01.650
Not rendering evil for evil or railing for railing,
424
00:20:01.650 --> 00:20:05.970
but contrariwise blessing; knowing
425
00:20:05.970 --> 00:20:07.620
that you are there unto called
426
00:20:07.620 --> 00:20:10.200
that you should inherit a blessing.
427
00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:12.690
This is good advice for all relationships.
428
00:20:12.690 --> 00:20:14.310
And I'm just gonna read the RIV to you
429
00:20:14.310 --> 00:20:17.190
before we close today. The RIV says -
430
00:20:17.190 --> 00:20:21.480
You absolutely must not try to get even, get revenge
431
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:25.560
or pay someone back for what he or she did to you
432
00:20:25.560 --> 00:20:27.360
or to someone else.
433
00:20:27.360 --> 00:20:30.960
Don't try to settle the score
by repaying someone for his
434
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.900
or her bad, evil,
malicious rotten attitudes
435
00:20:33.900 --> 00:20:37.170
and behavior by exchanging bad, evil,
436
00:20:37.170 --> 00:20:40.800
malicious rotten attitudes
and behavior back to them.
437
00:20:40.800 --> 00:20:44.370
If someone is verbally abused,
berated damaged, debase,
438
00:20:44.370 --> 00:20:47.200
harassed, humiliated, insulted, or misused
439
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:50.950
or someone else, don't make
it your business to pay him
440
00:20:50.950 --> 00:20:54.790
or her back with the same
kind of verbal abuse.
441
00:20:54.790 --> 00:20:59.200
But on the contrary, that is
on the furthest opposite side
442
00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:00.580
of the spectrum.
443
00:21:00.580 --> 00:21:04.570
You must instead speak
a blessing in response
444
00:21:04.570 --> 00:21:06.040
to that person.
445
00:21:06.040 --> 00:21:08.140
For it is for this very purpose
446
00:21:08.140 --> 00:21:10.570
that you've been prestigiously called
447
00:21:10.570 --> 00:21:13.780
that you should be the recipient of blessing.
448
00:21:15.010 --> 00:21:17.200
Is that powerful - Wow!
449
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:21.160
Just think - how things would be different if every time
450
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:24.730
somebody said something unkind
to you, you answered them
451
00:21:24.730 --> 00:21:26.560
with a kind word.
452
00:21:26.560 --> 00:21:30.280
Every time somebody said
something denigrating to you,
453
00:21:30.280 --> 00:21:32.620
you said something positive
454
00:21:32.620 --> 00:21:35.500
to them: totally changes the situation.
455
00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:39.250
And that's what the scripture instructs us to do.
456
00:21:39.250 --> 00:21:40.450
But we're outta time.
457
00:21:40.450 --> 00:21:43.300
I'm gonna be back in a moment
and I wanna pray for you.
458
00:21:51.280 --> 00:21:53.260
Someone has just asked the question -
459
00:21:53.260 --> 00:21:57.910
Why do people not talk about purity anymore?
460
00:21:57.910 --> 00:22:00.580
Well, that's a very interesting question.
461
00:22:00.580 --> 00:22:02.860
And we're living in a day when we are surrounded
462
00:22:02.860 --> 00:22:06.880
by impurity, but the word
of God remains the same.
463
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:10.870
And in 1 Thessalonians 4:3, it says,
464
00:22:10.870 --> 00:22:15.160
For this is the will of God,
even your sanctification.
465
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:16.930
That's talking about purity
466
00:22:16.930 --> 00:22:20.830
and that you should
abstain from fornication.
467
00:22:20.830 --> 00:22:23.800
That word abstain means to
put distance between yourself
468
00:22:23.800 --> 00:22:25.510
and something else.
469
00:22:25.510 --> 00:22:28.120
If you find impurity is around you
470
00:22:28.120 --> 00:22:30.970
or you're tempted to have
impure thoughts, then you need
471
00:22:30.970 --> 00:22:34.150
to take action to put
space between yourself
472
00:22:34.150 --> 00:22:35.590
and that impure thing.
473
00:22:35.590 --> 00:22:39.670
Turn the TV off, put a filter
on your computer, my friends,
474
00:22:39.670 --> 00:22:42.160
your purity is important.
475
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:44.140
And the Bible tells us that we are
476
00:22:44.140 --> 00:22:46.720
to give ourselves the sanctification.
477
00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:50.830
God longs for us to live a holy and a pure
478
00:22:50.830 --> 00:22:51.850
life.

512
00:24:25.610 --> 00:24:27.200
Hey, this is Rick Renner,
513
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:30.740
and today I'm in the Tulsa office
514
00:24:30.740 --> 00:24:33.980
and this is the conference
room or the boardroom.
515
00:24:33.980 --> 00:24:38.450
This room is used all the
time for strategic planning
516
00:24:38.450 --> 00:24:40.880
for the gospel and for
the teaching of the Bible,
517
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:43.250
which we're taking around the world.
518
00:24:43.250 --> 00:24:46.580
And all around this room we
have scriptures about wise
519
00:24:46.580 --> 00:24:48.590
counselor and wise planning.
520
00:24:48.590 --> 00:24:50.600
Of course, we have the great
commission on the screen
521
00:24:50.600 --> 00:24:54.170
behind us, and we even have
photographs of all the board
522
00:24:54.170 --> 00:24:57.470

Ministries who are real board
523
00:24:57.470 --> 00:24:59.960
of directors and regularly provide us
524
00:24:59.960 --> 00:25:03.440
with the most wonderful
godly counsel and advice.
525
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:05.450
But right now we're in the process
526
00:25:05.450 --> 00:25:08.870
of paying off this facility in Tulsa.
527
00:25:08.870 --> 00:25:13.220
And guess what? We've already paid off 81%
528
00:25:13.220 --> 00:25:14.720
of the whole project.
529
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:17.180
And that is just amazing.
530
00:25:17.180 --> 00:25:19.310
If you consider how long
we've been doing this,
531
00:25:19.310 --> 00:25:21.230
it's really not that long.
532
00:25:21.230 --> 00:25:23.750
But because of the grace of God and
533
00:25:23.750 --> 00:25:25.550
because of people like you,
534
00:25:25.550 --> 00:25:29.210
we are really making significant progress.
535
00:25:29.210 --> 00:25:31.250
And when we're finished
paying off the debt on this
536
00:25:31.250 --> 00:25:34.040
building, it's gonna
release all these finances
537
00:25:34.040 --> 00:25:36.800
to help us take the teaching
of the Bible further
538
00:25:36.800 --> 00:25:39.200
to the ends of the earth.
539
00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:41.810
So if you want to become
a part of the giving team,
540
00:25:41.810 --> 00:25:46.250
we welcome you and together
we're gonna remove this debt
541
00:25:46.250 --> 00:25:50.150
and release finances to go
further in taking the teaching
542
00:25:50.150 --> 00:25:52.490
of the Bible to the ends of the earth.
543
00:25:59.600 --> 00:26:02.360
Well, today you and I have been studying 1 Peter 3:
544
00:26:02.360 --> 00:26:04.490
7, verse 8 and verse 9.
545
00:26:04.490 --> 00:26:07.700
And wow, it is loaded with instruction.
546
00:26:07.700 --> 00:26:10.220
And if we will obey that instruction,
547
00:26:10.220 --> 00:26:12.680
we will do better in our relationships.
548
00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:15.020
But today is the last day this week
549
00:26:15.020 --> 00:26:17.030
that we're offering you the series called, What the Bible
550
00:26:17.030 --> 00:26:18.380
Says About Relationships.
551
00:26:18.380 --> 00:26:20.810
It is just so practical and helpful,
552
00:26:20.810 --> 00:26:22.580
and it comes with a study guide.
553
00:26:22.580 --> 00:26:24.350
And today is the last day this week
554
00:26:24.350 --> 00:26:27.050
that I'm offering you the Green Volume of the RIV,
555
00:26:27.050 --> 00:26:30.380
which is Vol.II, of 1st & 2nd Peter.
556
00:26:30.380 --> 00:26:33.380
It's a parallel study Bible for people of faith.
557
00:26:33.380 --> 00:26:35.780
So if you consider yourself
to be a person of faith,
558
00:26:35.780 --> 00:26:39.020
here's the study Bible
you've been waiting for,
559
00:26:39.020 --> 00:26:42.470
but you can order all these
things by giving us a call
560
00:26:42.470 --> 00:26:43.650
or you can just go online.
561
00:26:43.650 --> 00:26:44.850
But I wanna pray for you right now.
562
00:26:44.850 --> 00:26:47.280
So put your hand on your
heart and let me pray.
563
00:26:47.280 --> 00:26:50.610
Father, I thank you that you've given us instruction about
564
00:26:50.610 --> 00:26:54.420
how to get along in a wide gamut of relationships.
565
00:26:54.420 --> 00:26:57.810
Lord, help us to hear what you have to say, to do
566
00:26:57.810 --> 00:26:59.520
what you tell us to do,
567
00:26:59.520 --> 00:27:01.320
and Holy Spirit, we ask you to step in
568
00:27:01.320 --> 00:27:03.810
and grace us, empower us so
569
00:27:03.810 --> 00:27:07.530
that we can really obey these injunctions.
570
00:27:07.530 --> 00:27:11.790
And we thank you for this in
the precious name of Jesus.
571
00:27:11.790 --> 00:27:15.360
Amen. You know, if you obey
the Bible, everything's going
572
00:27:15.360 --> 00:27:17.220
to be better, it's gonna be better.
573
00:27:17.220 --> 00:27:21.030
So let's do what Peter has told us to do.
574
00:27:21.030 --> 00:27:22.350
Hey, we're out of time,
575
00:27:22.350 --> 00:27:25.800
but please remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says,
576
00:27:25.800 --> 00:27:29.880
"Where the word of a king is, there is power."
577
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:32.100
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
578
00:27:32.100 --> 00:27:36.510
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
579
00:27:36.510 --> 00:27:38.670
Jesus has to give you.
580
00:27:38.670 --> 00:27:42.750
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
581
00:27:42.750 --> 00:27:46.770
I repented my sin and receive you as my savior
582
00:27:46.770 --> 00:27:49.740
and Lord. Wash away my sin
583
00:27:49.740 --> 00:27:52.740
and make me completely new.
584
00:27:52.740 --> 00:27:56.610
I thank you that my sin is removed
585
00:27:56.610 --> 00:28:01.610
and Satan no longer has any right to lay claim on me.
586
00:28:02.100 --> 00:28:04.740
I faithfully promise that I will serve you
587
00:28:04.740 --> 00:28:06.900
as my Lord for the rest of
588
00:28:06.900 --> 00:28:07.900
my life.
589
00:28:08.850 --> 00:28:12.450
Amen. - Thank you for
joining Rick Renner today.
