Peter tells believers to arm themselves with Christ’s mind toward suffering and no longer live for former lusts. He urges fervent charity, hospitality, faithful stewardship of gifts, and God-glorifying speech and service. He warns them not to think fiery trials strange, distinguishes suffering for Christ from suffering as an evildoer, and calls those suffering according to God’s will to entrust themselves to the faithful Creator.
