Good Stuff in 1 Peter
- "For all flesh is as grass."
Life is ephemeral. Enjoy it while you can. 1:24
- Avoid evil, malice, hypocrisy, and envy. Don't speak badly about others. 2:1
- Be compassionate and courteous. Don't seek revenge when you are harmed by another. Speak kindly of others.
Do good and avoid evil. 3:8-11
- Peter says that Christians should be ready to explain why they believe what they do. This is a good verse to
remember when Christians refuse to debate you. 3:15
- Be hospitable to one another without grudging. 4:9
- Don't murder, steal, do evil things, or interfere needlessly in the lives of others. I wish Christians would follow
Peter's advice here, especially the "busybody" part, and stay out of the beliefs and sex lives of nonchristians.
4:15
