Description
Summary:Despite the relative neglect shown the First Epistle of Peter, few NT books are more relevant for a study of the use of the OT in the NT. Like the Epistle to the Hebrews, I Peter quotes frequently from various sections of the OT, and like the Book of Revelation its thought is frequently framed with OT expressions. Especially because of the unique collection of stone testimonia and the use of other OT quotations, I Peter ii. 1–10 is one of the most intriguing passages in the NT. As is well known, I Peter provides a message of consolation and exhortation to Christians who were being or were about to be persecuted, and this message is conveyed by a series of imperatives based on indicatives. Particularly in i. 13 through ii. 10 the imperative is couched between a preceding assumption (expressed either by a conditional sentence as in i. 17 or a participle as in i. 22) and a following supporting indicative.
