1 Peter2:9-25: 

  • Peter advised that Christians should abstain
    from the passion of the flesh. 
  • Maintain good conduct among the Gentiles, 
  • if they speak against them as wrong doers, they may see your good deeds
    and glorify God. 
  • They should be subject to evey human institution i.e. to
    the Emperor or to Governors who have power to punish or praise, 
  • By doing
    right, they would silence the ignorance of foolish-men, 
  • They should live
    as free men but do not use their freedom as pretext for evil, 
  • They should live as servants of God. 
  • Honour all men 
  • Love the
    brotherhood 
  • Fear God. 
  • Honour the Emperor.
