4:1 He exhorts them to go forward in all manner of godliness;
4:6 to live holily and justly;
4:9 to love one another;
4:11 and quietly to follow their own business;
4:13 and last of all, to sorrow moderately for the dead;
4:17 And unto this last exhortation is annexed a brief description of the resurrection, and second coming of Christ to judgment.
