The history of Christianity is full of various hardships which are experienced by Christians living in the world: from misunderstanding and dislike, slanders and insults, to martyrdom of blood. An interesting answer to the question “How should a Christian live in a community which is largely non-Christian?” can be found in the First Epistle of Peter. This article strives to depict the importance of Christ’s example, presented in 1 Pe 2:22-24, who patiently endured his suffering, in forming Christ's disciples to live their faith maturely. The hymn sets a demanding, but also a hopeful example to imitate for first-century Christians from Anatolia , as well as for present-day ones.
