description The prominent theme in 1 Peter is holy life and brotherhood as characteristics of being a Christian. Peter instructs Christians on how to respond to the inevitable reality of suffering facing the first-century church. The author of this letter addresses his message to immigrants, immigrants, who are scattered in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia Minor and Bithynia (I Pet. 1:1). Those who receive the letter of I Peter are called people chosen by God, sanctified by the Spirit of God. Thus, the author of the letter I Peter has the appropriate context at the time of writing this letter. The context is noteworthy so that it contributes to understanding Peter 1:13-25. In this text, the author uses a term that can help modern readers understand the context of I Peter. The word used in I Peter 1:13-25 is the word suffering or temptation as stated in I Peter 1:6. The purpose of the suffering is for the quality or purity of the recipient’s faith. The study used the historical-critical method to explore the teaching of 1 Peter 1:13–25. Hence, this exegesis sought to assist in attaining a clearer understanding of what the biblical passage seeks to convey to Christian religious education teachers in Tangerang Indonesia. A quantitative method was also used to seek the views of Christian elementary and junior high school teachers in Tangerang. It concluded that in light of the impending judgment on all humanity, believers are to trust God and continue to live holy lives and foster the spirit of brotherhood amidst their suffering. This study has implications for Christian Education as Christians face attacks from within and without and to remain victorious.
