Description
This is an epistle about struggle and spiritual warfare, about hope in the midst of suffering. Seven words for suffering occur in it. The Apostle represents suffering as in the will of God (4:19); he reminds his readers of the sufferings of Christ (1:11; 2:21, 23; 5:1) and holds Him up as an example to the believers in this respect (2:21; 4:1, 2). Peter admonishes them to expect suffering (4:12) and not to be troubled by it (3:14), but to bear it patiently (2:23; 3:9); to rejoice in suffering (4:13), knowing that their brethren elsewhere suffer the same things (5:9). He points out the value of sufferings (1:6, 7; 2:19, 20; 3:14; 4:14) and warns against suffering as an evil doer (2:20; 4:15). The Epistle is predominantly practical and not doctrinal.
