D. SURVEY CHART
When the total structural organization of a
Bible book is not too clear, it is sometimes
helpful to choose a prominent section of the
book and, using it as the base or starting
point, relate the other sections of the book
to this base. The result will be an outline of
a prominent theme of the book, which will
not necessarily represent a standard outline
of content.11 Let us apply this approach to 1
Peter. Keep referring to Chart 111 as you
read the following.
1. A base section.
Let us choose 2:1-10 as our base section.
In these three paragraphs are some
wonderful truths basic to Christian living,
namely, truths about who Christ is and
about what the believer’s position is in
Christ. (Read the passage.) Let us identify
the section by the phrase unique position.
Note where this appears on Chart 111. Try
to think of other representative phrases.
2. Related sections.
2:11—3:12. We have already scanned this
section, observing that it is about speci c
Christian groups, appealing especially to a
life of submission. Let us call this section life
of submission.
1:13-25. A strong key command here is
“be holy yourselves” (1:15). While other
attributes appear in this section as well (e.g.,
“fear,” v. 17; “love,” v. 22), we will choose
to call this section life of holiness.
3:13—5:11. Earlier in our study we
observed the concentration of
CHART 111
references to su ering in this section.
Read the passage again to discover what
truths are associated with that of su ering.
One such truth is glory. Underline in your
Bible each reference to glory. We will call
this section suffering and glory.
Observe the word “Amen” at the end of
4:11. Some see here a climactic point in the
passage 3:13—4:11. Compare 3:13—4:11
and 4:12—5:11, observing di erences and
likenesses.
1:3-12. Two subjects seem to be
prominent in this section: su ering and
salvation. Read the section and observe how
Peter relates the two subjects. We will call
this section suffering and salvation.
3. Main outlines.
Note on Chart 111 the wording of the
outline that is centered on “God’s Chosen
People,” which is another way of wording
the outline arrived at above. Compare the
different points of each outline.
References to Christ’s second coming are
also shown on the chart.
What title is assigned to 1 Peter?
V. PROMINENT SUBJECTS
A. THE CHRISTIAN PILGRIMAGE (1:13-25)
