Live as Servants of God Excerpt It is not easy to find the connection of this verse with what precedes or with  what follows. Perhaps there were some members of the early church who  opposed submission to the state because of the fact that Christ has made them  free people. Or perhaps, Peter was anticipating the disillusionment among his readers  when they read his admonition for them to obey the authorities, since  such submission would be tantamount to denying their freedom in Christ. To  ease these feelings, Peter now admonishes them  to live as free people  with the  implication that they do not lose their freedom by submitting to the state; such submission is not coerced upon them, but something which they do  voluntarily as free people.  Free  is used here in the religious and moral sense,  referring to their freedom in union with Jesus Christ ( compare  GECL   “Through  Christ you are free” )....

Live as Servants of God 1 Peter Chapter 5 1 Peter 5:1 The term “elder” (church elders) is used frequently in the New Testament for church leaders (for example, Acts 11:30 ; 14:23 ; 1 Tim 5:17–19 ; Titus 1:5 ; 2 John 1:1 ; 3 John 1:1 ). The practice of calling church leaders “elders” was borrowed from Judaism, where the leaders, whether secular or religious, were designated by this title ( compare Mark 7:3 ; 8:31 ; 11:27 ; 14:53 ; 15:1 ; etc .), because they would normally be chosen from the older members of the community. This element of age may also be reflected in the Christ ian usage of the term, but the primary component is that of leadership and not of age. Arichea, Daniel C., and Eugene Albert Nida.
