Sealing the deal

Peter tells us that we have been called to put up with the yuck:

For to this you have been called

1 Peter 2.21a

And he tells us the reason:

because Christ also suffered for you

1 Peter 2.21b

He gets quite specific, so we can’t squirm out of what he is saying:

leaving you an example

1 Peter 2.21c

And, finally, he seals the deal:

so that you might follow in his steps.

1 Peter 2.21d
