Old Testament

1 Peter

This first letter of Peter reflects a time of  suffering and trial. No doubt the widespread persecution of the early believers by the Roman authorities was the occasion of the "fiery trial" (1  Peter 4:12). Peter exhorts the readers of his letter to a life of purity,  of godly living, and exhorts them to steadfastness and faithfulness.

He specifically counsels:

1. to steadfastness and perseverance under persecution 1 Peter 1:1 - 2:10
2. to the practical duties of a holy life 1  Peter 2:11 - 3:13
3. he refers to the example of Christ to encourage the development of patience and holiness 1 Peter 3:14 - 4:19
4. he concludes with advice to the spiritual leaders and to people  themselves 1 Peter 5:1-14
