From a letter written by Peter (Simon)
to believers dispersed throughout Asia Minor:
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 and 1 of the 12 disciples and apostles of Jesus the Christ, the Son of God. After Jesus was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by over 500 people (including Simon Peter), and returned to heaven, Simon Peter became a leader among those who believed Jesus to be the Christ. Simon Peter stated the need to add another apostle to the group, and Simon Peter addressed the curious crowd on the day of Pentecost. Simon Peter spoke truthful words to Ananias and Sapphira before their deaths, and received the revelation that the good news of Christ Jesus was to be shared with Gentiles, people not 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 letters to believers. The apostle Paul (Saul) was an Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin. After Paul was baptized, Paul 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 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 and included an explanation of 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
