How to Live a Virtuous Life

Thanks for joining our study, especially if you are a first-timer. Today we will focus on passages in 2 Peter 1: 3-8. If you are striving to become a better person (and who isn't?), consider embracing these verses as you would a self-help manual. Peter, often known as St. Peter, was one of Christ's apostles and mentioned in all four gospels. Catholics acclaim him as the first pope. Peter is thought to have been martyred in Rome by Emperor Nero sometime between A.D. 65 and 68. Tradition says he was crucified, and some believe upside down. Thus, the words Jesus speaks in John: 21:18-19 are often interpreted as a prophecy of Peter's crucifixion.
