5 Questions on I Peter 2

Two weeks ago, we posted a list of three questions on I Peter 1. We did begin our study of the second chapter of First Peter. Take a gander at 5 of the questions we addressed in our study of I Peter 2 last week.

1) What must Christians desire in order to grow, and why? (See I Peter 2:2-3)

2) How should we conduct ourselves around authority figures? (I Peter 2:13-17)

3) How should our conversations be honest according to verse 12? (Also, see Hebrews 13:5)

4) Peter (verse 5) and Paul (Romans 12:1) remind us that we are "as lively stones" and are "to offer up spiritual sacrifice." How do we as Christians offer up spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God by Jesus Christ?

5) Whose perfect steps should we follow? (See I Peter 2:21-22)

Oops. We almost forgot to post the memory verse.

Here's I Peter 2:9, both the NKJV and the CEV versions:

New King James Version:
"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light..."

Contemporary English Version:

"But you are God's chosen and special people. You are a group of royal priests and a holy nation. God has brought you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Now you must tell all the wonderful things that he has done..."
