2A In his writings Peter combines the Christian life and God's government, revealing that the Christian life and the government of God go together as a pair— 1:17; 2:21, 24; 3:15; 4:17; 5:5-8:
31 The subject of 1 Peter is the Christian life under the government of God, showing us the government of God especially in His dealings with His chosen people—1:2.
42 The subject of 2 Peter is the divine provision and the divine government, showing us that as God is governing us, He supplies us with whatever we need—1:1-4; 3:13.
53 God governs by judging; this judgment of God is for the carrying out of His government—1 Pet. 1:17; 4:17.
64 彼前一章十七节所说,父所施行的审判,乃是神现今、每天在行政上对付祂儿女所施行的审判。
64 The judgment in 1 Peter 1:17, which is carried out by the Father, is the present, daily judgment of God's governmental dealings with His children.
