Chapter 4 of St. Peter's first epistle deals with the importance of holiness in the Christian life and the consequences of living according to God's will. Peter also emphasizes the importance of loving one another, serving others, and remaining firm in faith in the face of trials and sufferings. Next, I present five verses related to the topics addressed in this chapter:

Ephesians 6:10-11: "In addition, strengthen you in the Lord and in the strength of your power. You cover all God's armor so you can be firm against the devil's pitfalls." These verses talk about the importance of remaining firm in faith, as Peter also emphasizes in chapter 4.

1 John 3:18: "Little children, let us not love word or language, but by work and in truth." This passage reinforces the importance of sincere love and the actions that demonstrate this love, as Peter also highlights in chapter 4.

2 Timothy 2:22: "It also escapes the passions of youth, and follows justice, faith, love, and peace with those who, with a pure heart, invoke the Lord." This verse talks about the importance of following justice, faith, love, and peace, as Peter also highlights in chapter 4.
