1 Peter

 1 Peter 1

1 He blesses God for his manifold spiritual graces;

13 and exhorts them accordingly to a godly conversation, forasmuch as they are now born anew by the word of God.

 1 Peter 2

1 He exhorts them from the breach of charity;

4 shewing that Christ is the foundation whereupon they are built.

11 He beseeches them also to abstain from fleshly lusts;

13 to be obedient to magistrates;

18 and teaches servants how to obey their masters;

20 patiently suffering for well doing, after the example of Christ.

 1 Peter 3

1 He teaches the duty of wives and husbands to each other;

8 exhorting all men to unity and love;

14 and to suffer persecution.

19 He declares also the benefits of Christ toward the old world.

 1 Peter 4

1 He exhorts them to cease from sin by the example of Christ, and the consideration of the general end that now approaches;

12 and comforts them against persecution.

 1 Peter 5

1 He exhorts the elders to feed their flocks;

5 the younger to obey;

8 and all to be sober, watchful, and constant in the faith;

9 and to resist the cruel adversary the devil.
