Good Stuff in 1 Peter

  1. "For all flesh is as grass."
    Life is ephemeral. Enjoy it while you can. 1:24

  2. Avoid evil, malice, hypocrisy, and envy. Don't speak badly about others. 2:1

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. Be hospitable to one another without grudging. 4:9

  6. 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
