Life in the flesh is as a flower 1 Pet 1:24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
1 Pet 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever[1]. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

1 Pet 2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

"PRICE": 4185. poluteles, pol-oo-tel-ace'; from G4183 and G5056; extremely expensive:--costly, very precious, of great price. 1 Pet 3:5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned[1] themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: "ADORNED": 2885. kosmeo, kos-meh'-o; from G2889; to put in proper order, i.e. decorate (lit. or fig.); spec. to snuff (a wick):--adorn, garnish, trim. 1 Pet 3:6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. 1 Pet 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour[1] unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel[2], and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

1 Pet 3:13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
To suffer for righteousness sake is happiness 1 Pet 3:14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
1 Pet 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 1 Pet 3:16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. It's better to suffer for well doing than for evil 1 Pet 3:17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. Christ, the Just for the unjust 1 Pet 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: Jesus, after His crucifixion, preached to the spirits in prison 1 Pet 3:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
1 Pet 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. Baptism, the answer of a good conscience toward God 1 Pet 3:21 The like figure[1] whereunto even baptism[2] doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: "FIGURE": 499. antitupon, an-teet'-oo-pon; neut. of a comp. of G473 and G5179; corresponding ["an titype"], i.e. a representative, counterpart:--(like) figure (whereunto). 5179. tupos, too'-pos; from G5180; a die (as struck), i.e. (by impl.) a stamp or scar; by anal. a shape, i.e. a statue, (fig.) style or resemblance; spec. a sampler ("type"), i.e. a model (for imitation) or instance (for warning):--en- (ex-) ample, fashion, figure, form, manner, pattern, print. 2 "BAPTISM": 908. baptisma, bap'-tis-mah; from G907; baptism (techn. or fig.):--baptism. 907. baptizo, bap-tid'-zo; from a der. of G911; to make whelmed (i.e. fully wet); used only (in the N.T.) of ceremonial ablution, espec.

A change of mind to live according to the will of God 1 Pet 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 1 Pet 4:2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. 1 Pet 4:3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: Some will think it strange and speak evil of you 1 Pet 4:4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: 1 Pet 4:5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
Again, Jesus, after His crucifixion, preaching the 1 Pet 4:6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
1 Pet 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. Love, shall cover a multitude of sins 1 Pet 4:8 And above all things have fervent[1] charity[2] among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
1 Pet 4:9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging[1].
1 Pet 4:10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 1 Pet 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever[1] and ever. Amen. "EVER": 165. aion, ahee-ohn'; from the same as G104; prop. an age; by extens. perpetuity (also past); by impl. the world; spec. (Jewish) a Messianic period (present or future):--age, course, eternal, (for) ever (-more), [n-]ever, (beginning of the, while the) world (began, without end). Comp. G5550. Don't regard your testing from God as some strange thing 1 Pet 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 1 Pet 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 1 Pet 4:14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 1 Pet 4:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. Don't be ashamed for suffering as a Christian 1 Pet 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
1 Pet 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
1 Pet 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Commit the keeping of your soul, to The Faithful Creator 1 Pet 4:19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
To the elders 1 Pet 5:1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 1 Pet 5:2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre[1], but of a ready mind; "LUCRE": 147. aischrokerdos, ahee-skhrok-er-doce'; adv. from G146; sordidly:--for filthy lucre's sake. 146. aischrokerdes, ahee-skhrok-er-dace'; from G150 and kerdos (gain); sordid:--given to (greedy of) filthy lucre. 1 Pet 5:3 Neither as being lords[1] over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 1 Pet 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 1 Pet 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Our adversary, (the devil), is as a roaring lion 1 Pet 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
1 Pet 5:9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions[1] are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen. Thanks, for allowing me, to share this with you. Remember, to always, study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.In His Word, Web design by Art Porter
