“But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have” (15). Peter taught that believers have no reason to fear anyone (6,14). Rather than act out of self-protection and defensiveness, he urged wives (1-2) and everyone else (8) to behave with “gentleness and respect” toward unbelievers in all circumstances. Secure in our identity that Christ is our Lord, we even have power to “repay evil with blessing” (9). 

“For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God” (18). As God’s redeemed children, we don’t have to “fight for what’s ours” but can live peacefully, confidently for Him.
