Questions about letter from apostel Petrus, 3,7

[KisKatte]

Give honour to the women like to the weaker vessel. In the russian version it is clearly written to TREAT woman like a weak vessel.


Can you help me out? How do you interpret these new testament sentences?

What does giving honour mean? I mean in the world of MEN this does only mean to accept and respect..... that women are like this.

I believe it just means love and tenderness. Times have changed and the “weaker vessel” is paternalistic now, but I do not think that was the intent 2,000 years back. I believe the greater meaning of love and tenderness is the timeless meaning.

I think this is correct and what I remember

I personally thought that the difference between men and women still exist ..... but maybe the solution you mentioned is best.
