Sanctify
the Christ as [the] Master in your hearts: The KJV uses “sanctify the
Lord God…” as it is found in the Received Text. However, most have
“Christ as Lord” or “Lord [Master] Christ.” Or, revere, consecrated, give
honour. Peter is to go on and explain one way
this is done.

171
|
Ever
ready to face toward anyone asking you for a defense of your hope: Or, MOF: ready with a reply
who calls you to account. The Greek word for “defense” is APOLOGIAN
[apology] from which “apologetics” comes. This “hope” has already been
defined as something heavenly. [1Peter 1:3, 4, 13; Ephesians 4:4] This
hope involves the “resurrection” which some Jews did not accept [Luke 20:27; Acts 24:15] and Greeks
thought folly, as the soul was immortal in their own theology. [Acts 17:31, 32] This process of
defending the Christian hope would involve a degree of knowledge.

[Doing
so] with mildness and deep respect: Or, KJV: meekness and fear; NEB: modesty and respect; NOR: humble and reverent; KNX:
courteously and with due reverence. Compare Colossians 4:6. [Proverbs
15:1; 2 Timothy 2:24, 25; Titus 3:2] When one defends the faith or
personal beliefs there is a danger of becoming too sensitive to an attack
and begin to respond in kind. Often when a person’s arguments are we they
resort to personal attacks and avoid the subject. It is unfortunate that
too many Christians, particularly on the Internet, become ill-mannered
and begin to behave in a manner completely opposite to Peter’s counsel.

Geneva Study Bible
But {l} sanctify the Lord God in
your hearts: {16} and be ready always to give
an answer to every man that asketh you a reason
of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
(l) Give him all prayers and glory,
and hang only on him.
(16) He will have us, when we are
afflicted for righteousness sake, to be careful not for redeeming of our
life, either with denying or renouncing the truth, or with like violence,
or any such means: but rather to give an account of our faith boldly, and
yet with a meek spirit, and full of godly reverence, that the enemies may
not have anything justly to object, but may rather be ashamed of
themselves.
People's New Testament
3:15 But
sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. But sanctify in your hearts
Christ as Lord (Revised Version). Let Christ be honored and reverenced.
Fear not man but the Lord.
And be ready
always to give an answer. To confess Christ as the ground of your
hope.
With meekness and
fear. The answer to adversaries is to be made, not with arrogance
and indignation, but modestly, meekly, reverentially.
Wesley's Notes
3:15 But sanctify the
Lord God in your hearts - Have an holy fear, and a
full trust in his wise providence. The hope - Of eternal life. With
meekness - For anger would hurt your cause as well as your soul. And fear -
A filial fear of offending God, and a jealousy over yourselves, lest ye
speak amiss.
King James Translators'
Notes
fear: or, reverence
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
15. sanctify-hallow;
honor as holy, enshrining Him in your hearts. So in the Lord's Prayer, Mt
6:9. God's holiness is thus glorified in our hearts as the dwelling-place
of His Spirit.
the Lord God-The
oldest manuscripts read "Christ." Translate, "Sanctify
Christ as Lord."
and-Greek, "but,"
or "moreover." Besides this inward sanctification of God in the
heart, be also ready always to give, &c.
answer-an apologetic
answer defending your faith.
to every man that asketh you-The last words limit the universality of the
"always"; not to a roller, but to everyone among the heathen who
inquires honestly.
a reason-a
reasonable account. This refutes Rome's dogma, "I
believe it, because the Church believes it." Credulity is believing without evidence; faith is believing on
evidence. There is no repose for reason itself but in faith. This verse
does not impose an obligation to bring forward a learned proof and logical
defense of revelation. But as believers deny themselves, crucify the world,
and brave persecution, they must be buoyed up by some strong
"hope"; men of the world, having no such hope themselves, are
moved by curiosity to ask the secret of this hope; the believer must be
ready to give an experimental account "how this hope arose in him,
what it contains, and on what it rests" [Steiger].
with-The oldest
manuscripts read, "but with." Be ready, but with
"meekness." Not pertly and arrogantly.
meekness-(1Pe 3:4). The most
effective way; not self-sufficient impetuosity.
fear-due respect towards
man, and reverence towards God, remembering His cause does not need man's
hot temper to uphold it.
Matthew Henry's Concise
Commentary
3:14-22 We sanctify God before
others, when our conduct invites and encourages them to glorify and honour him. What was the ground and reason of their
hope? We should be able to defend our religion with meekness, in the fear
of God. There is no room for any other fears where this great fear is; it
disturbs not. The conscience is good, when it does its office well. That
person is in a sad condition on whom sin and
suffering meet: sin makes suffering extreme, comfortless, and destructive.
Surely it is better to suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing, whatever
our natural impatience at times may suggest. The example of Christ is an
argument for patience under sufferings. In the case of our Lord's
suffering, he that knew no sin, suffered instead of those who knew no righteousness.
The blessed end and design of our Lord's sufferings were, to reconcile us
to God, and to bring us to eternal glory. He was put to death in respect of
his human nature, but was quickened and raised by the power of the Holy
Spirit. If Christ could not be freed from sufferings, why should Christians
think to be so? God takes exact notice of the means and advantages people
in all ages have had. As to the old world, Christ sent his Spirit; gave
warning by Noah. But though the patience of God waits long, it will cease
at last. And the spirits of disobedient sinners, as soon as they are out of
their bodies, are committed to the prison of hell, where those that
despised Noah's warning now are, and from whence there is no redemption.
Noah's salvation in the ark upon the water, which carried him above the
floods, set forth the salvation of all true believers. That temporal
salvation by the ark was a type of the eternal salvation of believers by
baptism of the Holy Spirit. To prevent mistakes, the apostle declares what
he means by saving baptism; not the outward ceremony of washing with water,
which, in itself, does no more than put away the filth of the flesh, but
that baptism, of which the baptismal water formed the sign. Not the outward
ordinance, but when a man, by the regeneration of the Spirit, was enabled
to repent and profess faith, and purpose a new life, uprightly, and as in
the presence of God. Let us beware that we rest not upon outward forms. Let
us learn to look on the ordinances of God spiritually, and to inquire after
the spiritual effect and working of them on our consciences. We would
willingly have all religion reduced to outward things. But many who were
baptized, and constantly attended the ordinances, have remained without
Christ, died in their sins, and are now past recovery. Rest not then till
thou art cleansed by the Spirit of Christ and the blood of Christ. His
resurrection from the dead is that whereby we are assured of purifying and
peace.
