1 | Suffering - The Theme of 1 Peter | 1 Pet 1:1 | Morant61 | 21409 | ||
Theme of 1 Peter................................. I have already started my study of 1 Peter, but I just realized that I did not include some of my study notes relating to the theme of 1 Peter. Please consider the following. ************************************************* Theme of the Letter: The main purpose of reading 1 Peter several times and outlining it is to determine the main theme of the letter. With that in mind, consider the following statistics. · The word group (Suffer, Suffers, Suffering, and Suffered) occurs 90 times in 83 verses in the entire New Testament. That is a rate of 3.3 occurrences per book. · This same word group occurs 18 times in 17 verses in 1 Peter. This is 5.5 times the average rate of occurrence. · The word group also occurs in every chapter of 1 Peter. · The word group occurs in the following verses: 1 Peter 1:6, 1:11, 2:19-21, 2:23, 3:14, 3:17, 4:1, 4:12-13, 4:15-16, 4:19, 5:1, and 5:9-10. Given these facts, it is safe to say that suffering is the predominate theme of 1 Peter. ************************************************* Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
