1 P. 3:1• 1Asimismo vosotras, mujeres, sed sujetas á vuestros maridos; para que también los que no creen á la palabra, sean ganados sin palabra por la conversación de sus mujeres, (1 P. 3:1)
• Did a brother offend, the disciple was to gain his brother. Human pride would wait for him to humble himself; divine love goes after the evil-doer. This is just what God has done. (“His Questions” by W.T.P. Wolston)
• Observe, it is not the offender, the trespasser, that is before the mind of the one who thus walks in Christ’s steps. It is thy brother. (“His Questions” by W.T.P. Wolston)
• You belong to God; you are a child of God. Your brother has wronged you? Go you to him, and seek to set him right. It is the activity of love which the Lord Jesus presses upon His disciples. We are to seek the deliverance, in the power of divine love, of those who have wandered from God. The flesh feels and resents wrong done against itself. But grace does not shroud itself up in its own dignity, waiting for the offender to come and humble himself and own his wrong. (“Remarks on Matthew 18” by W. Kelly)
• How does God feel about the child that has done wrong? His loving desire is to have him right. When the child is near enough to know the Father's heart he goes out to do the Father's will. (“Remarks on Matthew 18” by W. Kelly)
• Love is bent on gaining the brother. So it is to him that understands and feels with Christ. It is not the offender, but thy brother that is the thought before the heart: (“Remarks on Matthew 18” by W. Kelly)

WK Translation Notes

a
I do not doubt, spite of the omission of "against thee," in a few MSS., that they are genuine, resting as they do on most ample ancient authority, and falling in exactly with the context, which is embarrassed by the omission — an omission easily accounted for by the similarity of their sound in a Greek’s mouth to the last two syllables of the preceding word.
