1 Peter 2:11-end was a recent reading. It struck me when I read it, which is when I should have written this post. It is peculiar, in a way, to advocate for the obedience to authority. I can certainly see how this passage would have been abused over the years. I can also see how it may have helped to preserve Christianity over the years from authorities and the Empire. But, it also has an important message abut hatefulness and spite, maliciousness and revenge; do not pay back an eye for an eye. Jesus didn't; be like Jesus. Vengeance belongs to the LORD after all.
