One of the key verses of 1 Peter is 1:17,
which concludes with the command
“conduct yourselves in fear during the time
of your stay upon earth.” The Christian’s
pilgrimage on earth should be marked by
various life-styles and attitudes. Three of
these that Peter emphasizes in this passage
are:
Be Holy (1:15-16)
Fear God (1:17)
Love One Another (1:22).
These are basic commands for active
consecrated Christian living. Later in the
epistle (2:11—3:12) Peter treats speci c
rules of behavior (e.g., of servants,
husbands, wives).
B. REDEMPTION BY CHRIST’S BLOOD
(1:18-19)
The lamb as a type and picture of Christ
appears from time to time throughout the
Bible. Make a list of the various truths
taught about the blood of Christ in this
passage. Chart 112 shows key references to
Christ as a lamb, as these references appear
throughout the Bible. Read the context of
each passage cited.
C. LIFE OF SUBJECTION (2:11—3:12)
The key word of this passage is submit.
Read the segment and note how many
paragraphs open with that thought. What
does the passage teach about submission in
the everyday living of citizens, employees,
wives, husbands, and members of a local

Peter the realist writes much about the
su ering and trials of Christians. Read 3:13
—4:11 and observe how Peter writes about
these attitudes of Christians in suffering:
CHART 112: THE LAMB IN SCRIPTURE
1. attitude of goodness in action (3:13-17)
2. attitude of newness of life (3:18-22)
3. attitude of separation in living (4:1-6)
4. attitude of service in suffering (4:7-11).
In 4:12—5:11 Peter writes more about the
trials (e.g., “ ery ordear 4:12) of a Christian.
Chart 113 shows a breakdown of this
passage.
The glory and help of God are two of the
triumphant notes with which Peter
concludes this section. As an optimist the
apostle was con dent that the su ering and
trials of Christians can re ect the glory of
