2 Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • What does Peter say to give back instead of evil for evil or insult for insult?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • What would a gentle spirit and a considerate life look like in your home as it actually is?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • Where could you answer an insult or an irritation at home with a blessing this week?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who might be won over by a changed life before they would listen to words — just as Peter describes?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
