BRIEF SUMMARY OF 1 PET 1:3-5 Peter (and his readers) ought to bless God (v. 3) because God has, in accordance with his mercy, given to his people (his elect exiles; v. 1) new birth into a living hope – a living hope made possible in and through Jesus’ own resurrection. The content of this living hope is the promised eternal inheritance (v. 4), which is not subject to perishing because God is guarding it and waiting until the time of final salvation when it will be given to his children (v. 5), who also are being guarded by God through the exercise of their own faith. NOTES ON VARIOUS PORTIONS OF THE ARC - The inference of 3c-3d (∴) could just as easily extend from 3c all the way to 5c (though it does in principle within the Id/Exp). - Verse 3d could also logically be a ground (G) to 3c, such that the reason for our living hope is the reality of the resurrection. - If one sees the 'inheritance' as a somewhat further or separate goal of the new birth apart from 'living hope', 4a-5c could be in series (S) (or Action/Purpose) with 3b-3d instead of Id/Exp. With Id/Exp, I'm saying that the content of the living hope is actually the awaited future inheritance. - I wouldn't normally make 5b a separate proposition, but I want to point out the sovereignty / responsibility tension with 5a. - Verse 5c could just as easily be temporal (T) in its relation to 5a-5b as well as the intended goal/purpose.
