This week, we finish chapter 4 of 1st Peter.
Peter describes the persecution in old testament language, and how if you're being persecuted, it's proof of your salvation.
Peter also uses a unique word in verse 16; alletriepiskopos. Which we learn is a word that Peter has made up, giving translators a challenge to translate correctly. The word effectively means that someone covets the life life of someone else, for a life free of persecution. Peter relates this to giving up your faith. Peter tries to dissuade the young Christians from this feeling.
This is also the first time that Peter calls the members of the Turkish church Christians; Christianoi.
