So in this final section of this letter, God calls us through Peter's writing to persevere—to be faithful to the end.

The text is written for the edification of the entire congregation, for churches must rightly understand the role of elders, what qualifies a man to serve as one, and how they are to then relate to those they call to fill the office.
