Key Scriptures

Key Points

  • Peter’s letter continues to point us to mimic Jesus and to suffer for righteousness sake.
  • He asks wives to submit to their husband even when they are not in alignment with the Word that they may be won over.
  • Peter ascribes precious beauty in the eyes of the Lord when a woman comes under the leadership of a husband.
  • Submission means to come under the mission of the husband as they follow Christ instructions to love and protect.
  • Men are to honor their wives as treasure and not to Lord over them with a strong will.
  • The husband should protect their wives and remember that they are coheirs. 
  • Men’s prayers are in jeopardy when they are not living with their wives in an understanding way.
  • We are called to another level of love as followers of Christ. We are called to bless those who curse us.
