• God took care that so conspicuous a pillar of the circumcision as Cephas should write without doubt and fervently in the same strain of grace {as Paul} to the sheep whom the Lord confided to his love and care. Who can fail to recognize an unjealous largeness which was quickly forgotten, or rather never known, in haughty Christendom with its little yet ever-growing fences, bound up by official pride, miscalled rights, far from the Lord's mind as possible. (“1 Peter 5:12-14” by W. Kelly)

• We are not so likely to overlook the start and the finish as we are the course between. It is now, amidst the failures and difficulties of our pilgrimage that we need an abiding sense of the grace that carries us through, the grace in which we stand. (“1 Peter 5” by F.B. Hole)
