1 - Bless God for giving us new life in Christ's resurrection, to the hope of His inheritance, even if we have to suffer here for a time. The grace we received was sought after by the prophets, so be holy, for you were bought with Christ's blood.
2 - you are a holy temple and nation. Submit to rulers and employers, following the example of Jesus by suffering for doing good.
3 - wives be respectful and virtuous; husbands be gentle and loving. Suffer for doing good, not evil, as Christ did.
4 - Don't please the flesh but love and serve each other, suffering only for Christ in doing good.
5 - elders, shepherd willingly, not domineering; young people, submit to elders. Be humble in suffering, and God will restore and lift you in His time.
