1 Peter 1:15

1:15 but, like the Holy One who called you, become holy yourselves in all of your conduct,

1 Peter 1:23

1:23 You have been born anew, not from perishable but from imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God.

1 Peter 4:2

4:2 in that he spends the rest of his time ¹  on earth concerned about the will of God and not human desires.

1 Peter 5:3

5:3 And do not lord it over ²  those entrusted to you, ³  but be examples to the flock.

¹ tn This verse may give the purpose or result of their “arming” themselves as called for in v. 1b and then the translation would be: “so that you may spend the rest of your time…” But it is better to take it as explanatory of the last phrase in v. 1: what it means to be finished with sin.

¹ tn Grk “not as lording it over…but being examples.” The participles continue the command of v. 2 by describing how the shepherding should be carried out.

² tn Grk “the ones allotted,” referring to those God has given over to their care.
