In 1 Peter 2:13–25 and 3:1–7, Peter instructs believers on submission in relationships as a reflection of their faith in Christ. He calls them to submit to authorities for the Lord’s sake, even to unjust rulers, highlighting that enduring suffering for doing good is commendable before God. Peter points to Christ’s example of suffering, who bore sins without retaliation. In 1 Peter 3:1–7, he addresses wives and husbands, urging wives to submit to their husbands with a gentle spirit that may win them over to faith, and encouraging husbands to treat their wives with honor and understanding, recognizing them as co-heirs of God’s grace. Key themes include submission to authority, enduring suffering like Christ, and mutual respect in marriage.
