First Peter 5:5 "Put On The Apron of Humility"

Charles e Whisnant, Pastor/Teacher

AND ALL OF YOU CLOTHE YOURSELVES WITH HUMILITY TOWARD ONE ANOTHER:

  Several good translations of the verse:

Amplified: Likewise, you who are younger and of lesser rank, be subject to the elders (the ministers and spiritual guides of the church)—[giving them due respect and yielding to their counsel]. Clothe (apron) yourselves, all of you, with humility [as the garb of a servant, so that its covering cannot possibly be stripped from you, with freedom from pride and arrogance] toward one another. For God sets Himself against the proud (the insolent, the overbearing, the disdainful, the presumptuous, the boastful)—[and He opposes, frustrates, and defeats them], but gives grace (favor, blessing) to the humble.

KJV: Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

 

NLT: You younger men, accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, serve each other in humility, for "God sets himself against the proud, but he shows favor to the humble."

Phillips: You younger members must also submit to the elders. Indeed all of you should defer to one another and wear the "overall" of humility in serving each other. ‘God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble’.

Wuest: Likewise, younger ones, be in subjection to the elders. Moreover, all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God opposes himself to those who set themselves above others, but gives grace to those who are lowly.

Young’s Literal: In like manner, ye younger, be subject to elders, and all to one another subjecting yourselves; with humble-mindedness clothe yourselves, because God the proud doth resist, but to the humble He doth give grace;

AND ALL OF YOU CLOTHE YOURSELVES WITH HUMILITY TOWARD ONE ANOTHER:

 

(1Peter 4:1,5; Therefore, since Christ has 1suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, but they will give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

Romans 12:10; Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor;

Ephesians 5:21; and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.

Philippians 2:3 Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;

1Peter 3:3,4; Your adornment must not be merely external—braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.

2Chr 6:41; 41 "Now therefore arise, O Lord God, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your might; let Your priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation and let Your godly ones rejoice in what is good.

Job 29:14; "I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice was like a robe and a turban.

Psalms 132:9,16; Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your godly ones sing for joy.

Isaiah 61:10; I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

Ro mans13:14; But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.

Col 3:12 So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience

Clothe yourself (1463)

An apron a servant wears while working gather or tie in a knot, hence to fasten a garment, to clothe) (found only here in the NT) literally means to tie something on oneself with a knot or a bow and was a term often used to describe a slave putting an apron over his clothes in order to keep his clothes clean.

This verb also refers to the white scarf or apron of slaves, which was fastened to the belt of the vest and distinguished slaves from freemen, hence the idea is "gird yourselves with humility as your servile garb".

Peter uses the aorist imperative which signifies a command calling for "soldier like" obedience. Calls for a specific, definite, decisive choice. "Do this now, at once "

This is a vitally important command that dare not be dismissed without significant consequences (e.g., pride blunts the Spirit fed stream of God’s amazing grace as in James 4:6 But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, "God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

And which is necessary not just for salvation the first time as in Ephesians 2:8-9, but is also necessary for "salvation" daily = sanctification, present tense salvation

In addition them its in the middle voice: which indicates we are to initiate the action and participate in the results or effect of this action.

This phrase can be translated "Put on the apron of humility" which is an appropriated paraphrase picturing the scarf or apron as the badge of a servant.

How easily the world’s competitive spirit filters into the hearts of Christians and Christian workers who become envious of one another’s success. How seldom we think of ourselves as servants for Christ’s sake

Its a problem in the local church that far too many Christians do not have this attitude of humility toward one another.

The Christian believer is as one put it "tie yourself up in humility" gathering it around us like a coat to shut out the blighting winds of pride." What this phrase is saying: "it is performing selflessly an task God assigns, and bringing forth spiritual fruit."

Vincent’s Word Study puts it this way: "Put on and wrap yourselves about with humility, so that the covering of humility cannot possibly be stripped from you."

Remember as Jesus laid aside His outer garments and put on a towel to become a servant, so each of us should have a servant’s attitude and minister to each other.

Humility is not demeaning ourselves and thinking poorly of ourselves. It is simply not thinking of ourselves at all!

The idea is putting on as it were a coat of humility, and showing a yielding to another, in that you show support for the other person in their work for the Lord in the church.

Too many Christians want to think of themselves higher than others, but here Peter is saying just lie low, be humble. We are to think of ourselves in an attitude of humility, it is the quality of unpretentious behavior, a modest estimation of one’s abilities, without arrogance, even in our own mind we think modesty.

Here is the right attitude: Humility:

  

Inasmuch as we are small compared to God, this is the correct estimate of ourselves. The word indicates the esteeming one’s self as small or recognizing one’s insufficiency but at the same time recognizing the powerful sufficiency of God!

Acts 20:19; serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials which came upon me 1through the plots of the Jews;

Eph 4:2; with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love,

Phil 2:3; Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;

Col 2:18, 23; Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind, These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence.

Vine’s (which I have used back in First Baptist Church, Altoona, Kansas) says:

that Humility" indicates, not a merely moral quality, but the subjection of self under the authority of, and in response to, the love of the Lord Jesus, and the power of the Holy Spirit to conform the believer to the character of Christ. In contrast to the world’s idea of being "poor-spirited" the Lord commends "the poor in spirit" Matthew 5:3

Humility was not thought of very highly in the ancient world (pun intended) and in fact was even considered to be a vice by the pagan moralists. Christ and Christianity elevated humility to the supreme virtue – the antidote for the self-love that poisons relationships.

Humility is not thinking poorly of oneself. Rather, it is having the proper estimate of oneself in the will of God. The person with humility thinks of others first and not of himself.

Humility, when it becomes self-conscious, ceases to have any value.

Jesus modeled the essence of humility which is being able to put others’ needs and desires ahead of one’s own Philippians 2:3-4).

well speaking of

of and and that

related to last night in your discussions about the atonement and the

question is if that’s true then why witness how do we tell people

God loves them and that Jesus Christ did not die for them or do we tell them that

well you tell them whatever the Bible tells you to tell them and the Bible

tells you to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature and

that’s what you do because that’s what the scripture says any tension you have

between that and the nature of the atonement any tension you have between

that and the doctor and the divine election and predestination any tension

you feel in those areas

I feel I feel the same tension I asked the same question

I don’t know I don’t know that there’s some kind of quick answer to the

question I i am however happy to concede that God can resolve things that I can’t

I like grilled I I don’t expect of you and you shouldn’t expect me to be to be

able to unscrew the unscrew double you you really don’t think that I’m going to

solve all the vast theological dilemmas that have existed since the scriptures

were in actually some people do

yes that’s the best answer to this question is my brother I feel your pain

that is the best answer to that question I I’m not here to give you an answer but

I will tell you this i do not believe that Jesus died for nobody

I believe he died for somebody and I believe he died specifically for those

who would believe in him and those who believe in him are those who are

regenerated by the Holy Spirit based upon the eternal sovereign collecting

purpose of God i think is Tom it was an actual one not a potential one

I don’t think it was a general one I think it was a specific one I think was

a real death force in the issue here is the nature of the atonement forget the

dilemma you’re going to have the dilemma no matter what you do

the dilemma is why didn’t he send everybody to heaven that dilemma is why

is there hell

and why are people going there that if that is a legitimately difficult

question to ask the only answer I can give you is that if God purpose to do

that Romans 9 who are we to question his purpose if he gets glory from judgment

the way he gets glory from from salvation who are we to question it

the other issue is nobody goes to hell for any other reason than that they’re

guilty of sin and unbelief how that fits i don’t know but there are a lot of

things I don’t know

I’ve said this so many times I don’t even know how my own spiritual life

works

I don’t look Paul says in Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ nevertheless

I live yet not i he didn’t know either

I didn’t know

so you know if you have I see the question who lives your spirit who lives

your Christian life who lives your spiritual life who’s in charge of your

spiritual life

well some of some of us are gonna rise and say well it’s the Holy Spirit

I don’t really think you want to blame him and if it’s all the Holy Spirit what

are all the commands in the Bible about

and yet when when you when you know you you must obey and and and the spirit

must work in it it’s it’s the mystery of how that comes together it’s the same

issue in between the security to believe are held in the Father’s hand and the

necessity of perseverance of faith a persevering faith it’s the same issue is

that we have in the in the volitional aspects of salvation and the sovereign

aspects there there’s that there’s there’s a sort of a resolution

resolution in the in the center of that is known only in the mind of God but i

will not resolve the problem of the lost any other way than to do with the

scripture tells me to do and that is that the Bible of firms to me that God

loves the world the specific people in the world the specific human beings i

don’t know who they are

spurgeon said if you pull up their shirts and show me any stamped on the

back and I know the elect I’ll i limit my work to them but since there is no

such stamp i am committed to obey the command to preach the gospel to every

creature and I can say to them that the love of God has been expressed through

Jesus Christ death on the cross and you will know and experience that love if

you put your faith in Him

and if you don’t do that you’ll perish in your sins and Jesus said you will

perish in your sins because you believe not on me

I’m very comfortable to just take the biblical aspect but I don’t think it’s a

good solution to diminish the nature of the atonement and have Jesus dying for

everybody

if you say that he paid in full the penalty for all the sins of all the

world than what is anybody doing in hell

that’s double jeopardy that doesn’t work so people don’t want to say that so they

say well he died a potentially saving death in that sense he died for nobody

in particular and everybody in general and the sinner who is depraved is the

one who activates the potential atonement while that that’s impossible

so I I just don’t want to find the answer to the dilemma of of the death of

Christ by diminishing the nature of the atonement

it is a real death for those who died in him

that’s what the text says I lay down my life for my sheep and we looked at so

and it’s a good it’s a good question answer because you guys want to be very

careful in the tensions that are in this and it flows through every major

doctrine in scripture that connects the center with God

you don’t want to resolve that tension by asking philosophical questions you

always want to live in that tension by being obedient to Scripture

ok but i do feel your pain because I don’t have an answer to all those

questions and I’m i’m at times profoundly exercised over the the the

non resolution because i like to find the the resolution two things but the

issue on why witness you you wouldn’t suggest bringing up the the discussion

of the limitations of the atonement in in a witnessing context I think we have

to be careful what we say I think there are there are unlimited benefits tied

into the atonement

you can show in in the New Testament that you know it

the expression of God’s love in the atonement is the expression of the same

love that’s demonstrated in common grace

he reigns on the

you know it rains on the just and the unjust there’s there’s common grace

there’s a there’s a kindness of god there’s a even a salvation of God

demonstrated a temporal way he’s the savior of all men temporally physically

in this sense that the world is full of sinners who aren’t dead

what is that that God is saying to them

you don’t get what you deserve when you deserve it that’s my nature so that

demonstration is there for them to see temporally but especially of those who

believe he is the savior of them not temporally and not physically but

eternally and spiritually but he puts his saving nature on display even in the

gospel offer and in common grace and in the withholding of judgment and so I

think we can say to sinners that God is merciful and God is compassionate and

God calls you to repent and caused you to believe and he’s offered his son as a

sacrifice for those who do and I that’s the way i would say it
