Expositor's Bible: The Epistles of St. Peter by Lumby, Joseph Rawson (1831-1895)
XI THE REWARDS OF SUFFERING FOR WELL-DOING "For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing. Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that He might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but quickened in the spirit; in which also He went and preached unto the spirits in prison,…
