Versets liés à 1 Peter, 1:

Chapter 1 of 1 Peter talks about our salvation in Christ, highlighting the hope we have in it, which allows us to endure the trials of life and motivates us to live holy. To provide five verses related to the topics covered in this chapter, I selected the following passages:

James 1:2-3: "My brothers, consider the fact that they go through various trials, for you know that proof of your faith produces perseverance." Truth is seen as a means to perfect our faith, making us more persevering and mature.

Romans 5:2-5: "Through Him (Jesus) we have also obtained access, by faith, to this grace in which we are now firm; and we glory in the hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we also glory in Tribulations, because we know that tribulation produces perseverance; perseverance, an approved character; and the approved character, hope. " Hope is highlighted as a fruit that arises from suffering and perseverance.

1 Peter 2:9: "But you are elected generation, royal priesthood, holy nation, exclusive people of God, to announce the greatness of the one who called them from darkness to their wonderful light." The identity of the Christian is emphasized, for he is called to live holy and to proclaim the greatness of God.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-5: "God's will is that you are sanctified: to refrain from sexual immorality. Each one knows how to control his own body in a holy and honorable manner, not with the passion of unbridled desire, like them pagans who are unaware of God. " Holiness of life is a recurring theme in the Bible, and here we see the need to control our desires to live honorably.

Hebrews 12:14: "Seek to live in peace with all and sanctification; without it no one will see the Lord." Sanctification is again mentioned as something essential to see God and live in peace with the people around us.
