1 Peter
[[Acts 4:11]]

| [[Psalm 119:105]]
| "Though you grind a fool in a mortar, grinding him like grain with a pestle, you will not remove his folly from him."

| [[Ecclesiastes 2:4]] - [[Ecclesiastes 2:6]]
| "If the axe is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed but skill will bring success."
| This probably generalises to most tools. If your equipment is sub-standard then it takes a lot more effort to get results. Nevertheless, a good tradesman never blames his tools. If you have the skill, you can still succeed -- maybe by sharpening the axe!

| [[Isaiah 2:4]]
| Christ Jesus himself is the chief cornerstone in whom the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.
| Who is the builder? See [Hebrews 3:4]].
Compare with [[1 Peter 2:4]] -- we, like Christ, are living stones, and we are being built into a spiritual house.

| [[Ephesians 6:13]] - [[Ephesians 6:17]]
| The stuff we create with technology and all our material wealth is ephemeral.
|-
| [[1 Peter 1:7]]| Faith is of greater worth than gold
