1 Peter 4:1-2 1. Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2. so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God.

1 Peter 4:1-2

1 Peter 3:13-17 13. Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? 14. But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, 15. but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, 16. having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. 17. For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.

1 Peter 3:13-17

1 Peter 3:8-12 8. Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. 9. Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. 10. For “Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; 11. let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it. 12. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”

1 Peter 3:8-12

1 Peter 3:7-8 7. Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered. 8. Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.

1 Peter 3:7-8

1 Peter 3:1-2 1. In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, 2. as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior.

1 Peter 3:1-2

1 Peter 2:24-25 ;24. and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. 25. For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

1 Peter 2:24-25

1 Peter 2:22-23 22. He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly.

1 Peter 2:22-23

1 Peter 2:18-21 18. Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the unjust. 19. For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly. 20. For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. 21. For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.

1 Peter 2:18-21

1 Peter 2:13-17 13. Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, 14. or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. 15. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. 16. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. 17. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.

1 Peter 2:13-17

1 Peter 2:11-12 11. Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. 12. Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.

1 Peter 2:11-12

1 Peter 2:9-10 9. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10. Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

1 Peter 2:9-10

1 Peter 2:4-8 4. As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5. you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6. For it stands in Scripture: “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.” 7. So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,” 8. and “A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.

1 Peter 2:4-8

1 Peter 2:1-3 1. So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. 2. Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— 3. if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.

1 Peter 2:1-3

1 Peter 1:22-25 22. Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, 23. since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; 24. for “All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, 25. but the word of the Lord remains forever.” And this word is the good news that was preached to you.

1 Peter 1:22-25

1 Peter 1:20-21 20. He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you 21. who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

1 Peter 1:20-21
