Not at All

From a letter written by Peter (Simon)
to believers dispersed throughout Asia Minor:

Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.-1 Peter 2:18-25***Simon Peter was an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, and Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel). Approximately 30 years after Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and born into the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist, from the tribe of Jacob's 3rd born son Levi. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world, and testified that Jesus is the Son of God. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men, including Simon Peter, to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. Less than 3 1/2 years after Jesus was baptized, Jesus was betrayed by  Judas Iscariot the disciple and apostle, and Jesus was  arrested,  crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by over 500 people, including the disciple and apostle Simon Peter, and returned to heaven. Simon Peter became a leader among those who believed Jesus to be the Christ, and stated the need to add another apostle to the group, and addressed the curious crowd on the day of Pentecost.  Simon Peter spoke truthful words to Ananias and Sapphira before their deaths, and Simon Peter received the revelation that the good news of Jesus the Christ was to be shared with Gentiles, people not born into the Israelite tribes. Simon Peter journeyed to teach the good news of Jesus the Christ, and was beaten, and imprisoned, and wrote divinely inspired letters to believers. The apostle Paul (Saul) was an Israelite from the tribe of Jacob's 12th and last son Benjamin. After Paul was baptized, he journeyed to teach the good news of Jesus the Christ, and was beaten and imprisoned, and wrote divinely inspired letters to believers. Paul wrote that slaves and bondservants were always to obey the orders given by their masters and perform all tasks as if performing them for the Lord. Peter's message to slaves and bondservants was similar to Paul's message and included an explanation about some of the suffering endured by Jesus the Christ.-Genesis 11:26-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 8:1-40, 9:35-44, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, 1 Peter, 2 Peter
