In the second half of 1 Peter 2 and the first half of 1 Peter 3, St. Peter instructs the Church on how they are to glorify God by the way in which they live; even and especially as they are facing Roman persecution. He begins by reminding Christians that they are sojourners and pilgrims in this world. Therefore, the world needs to see just how foreign the Christian is in this world. From there St. Peter moves to teach very practically how Christians must live in regards to submitting to civil authorities, how Christian servants are to live toward their masters, and how husbands and wives live together in Holy Matrimony in such a way that the relationship of the Trinity is made manifest for all to witness.
