| Summary: | In 1 Pet 2:18-19, the text addresses slaves and urges them to obey to their masters, even if they are unjust and brutal. In the letter's point of view, this is righteous in God's eyes. This article shows that this section of 1 Peter has strong parallels with Stoic discourses about freedom and slavery. One can find similar thoughts in the works of Philo, Cicero, Seneca, Epictetus, and Dion of Prusa. Furthermore, glimpses of Stoic ideas of freedom can also be found in 1 Peter's passages about faith, society, and baptism. It might be that the author of 1 Peter received popular philosophical thoughts that were related to Stoic ideas. |
