Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.
1 Peter 2:17
Four short commands. One balanced life.
Honor all people, providing dignity without favoritism.
Love the family of faith, demonstrating devotion without division.
Fear God, showing reverence and awe above all else.
Honor authority, giving respect without worship.
Peter orders our loves so none are misplaced. When God is feared rightly, everything else finds its proper place.
Proper worship produces right relationships.
Holy God, order our loves. Teach us to fear You most, love others sincerely, and live with wisdom and humility in every relationship.
Living with Right Priorities,
