Conclusion: Worldly men are strict observers of the manner of life of the professors of religion. A chaste conversation with Christian respect in the home life and careful Christian conduct toward all, following the Lord Jesus especially in His example of suffering for righteousness sake, is an excellent means to win men to the faith of the Gospel.

Key Word: Good conversation, 1 Peter 3:16.

Strong Verses: 1 Peter 3:1; 1 Peter 3:7; 1 Peter 3:10; 1 Peter 3:12; 1 Peter 3:13; 1 Peter 3:15; 1 Peter 3:16; 1 Peter 3:17; 1 Peter 3:18.

Striking Facts: 1 Peter 3:18-20. The word «preached» is lit. «Heralded.» Christ's spirit at His death heralded the triumph of the cross in the spirit world. There is no indication of any chance for repentance either of angel or man. The saved spirits who awaited Him in Paradise, upon the announcement of the finished work of the cross went with Him above, whence He then removed Paradise, and they will appear with Him at His second advent to receive their glorified bodies.
