 Now, the author here, Peter, wants his readers to know that all the slandering that they have ever experienced in their lives from people, according to chapter 2, verse 12, and chapter 3, verse 16, came from the enemy of their souls. And the same is true for you and for me. Every time you experienced slandering because of your faith, because of who you are in Christ, it may have happened from people, but the mastermind behind it is Satan.
