All Are To Behave As Those Who Are Obedient With Regard To Each Other (1 Peter 3:8-12).

After briefly recalling admonitions he has already given (1 Peter 1:22; 1 Peter 2:22-23) Peter now sums up and expands on the section from the Scriptures, calling on all Christians, both men and women, slave and free, to behave rightly and openly in both word and deed. The Scripture in mind is Psalms 34:12-16 which appears to have been popularly used as a Christian guide, but is rendered rather freely so as to adapt it to the situation (as a popular preacher might do today).

1 Peter 3:8-12

8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is againstb them that do evil.
