• These are the main characters from the first half of Acts
• The GE are “framed” by Jesus’ brothers
• As the first book, James is influential in setting the message of the group (he gets out the Legos)
Messages from Other Peoples’ MailLiving
Stones
• With James, the GE may then be generally letters about persevering through sin, suffering, and serpents by living faith unto the goal: salvation
• Suffering will be the norm
• Christ will be the model
• Faith will be what is practiced
• Salvation will be the hope that keeps you going

StonesLikewise, wives, be subject to your own
husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they
see your respectful and pure conduct. Do not let your adorning be external—the
braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let
your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a
gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious. For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn
themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham,
calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that
is frightening.

not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. For “Whoever
desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from
evil and his lips from speaking deceit; let him turn away from evil
and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those

• Concerning the “test cases” in 3.1-7:
Life in exile means living with personal hostile oppressors, like a wife with an unbelieving husband, whose redemption should be sought not by persuasion with words but by illustration with deeds the character of the innocent suffering Savior.
Life in exile means living with the more vulnerable and exploitable, like a husband with a wife, whose knowledgable conduct should honor the feminine one as the Shepherd who sacrificed Himself for His sheep.

• Concerning the “test case” summary in 3.8-12:
