Peter gives us a simple formula for a righteous way of life, “have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind”. He continues by quoting Psalm 34 on the importance of controlling the tongue, turning away from evil, and instead pursuing peace.
Rather than “living in sensuality” as the world around us, let us “be self-controlled and sober-minded… keep loving one another earnestly… show hospitality… serve one another… in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ“.
