Introduction
Two commands: 1. Gird up your minds for action and 2. Be holy.
In , the Apostle Paul provides more insight on this command.
He reaffirms in in Thessalonians 3:6, but goes on to say:
The hope he talks about in is the same hope as he assured them of earlier in 1 Pe 1:3
Gird up.
328 ἀναζώννυμι [anazonnumi /… a leather belt.
Imperative.
Gird up with a leather belt.
Get ready to run, fight, mix it up.
Therefore - in light of what I've said before.
We are the church militant - the church here on Earth.
Our counterpart in heaven is the church triumphant and we are going to join them one day.
For this assignment, they must be mentally prepared, and able to concentrate.
We will be persecuted because the world hates us.
Christ told us that they would hate us because they hated Him.
He was perfectly sinless and loving and they hated Him so much that the tortured, mocked and killed Him.
Even though we are followers of Christ, we fall far short of the example He set.
We come from a sinful background, we sin, we are imperfect, we make mistakes.
If they hated Him, as wonderful as He was, how can they not hate us even more, since we fall far short of the example He set.
They hate us because now we represent Him, His truth and His message.
There is nothing you could or should do about that.
They will never like you because you expose their sin.
So I am commanding you to deal with it.
Don't give in.
Dont cave.
Gird up your mind and mentally prepare yourself for the battle, because it will continue.
Be sober minded
νήφω nḗphō; fut.
nḗpsō.
To be sober–minded, watchful, circumspect (, ; ; ; ; ).
The word does not mean to abstain from the use of alcohol but rather to refrain from the abuse of it which leads to intoxication.

You need to concentrate, stay focused, and rely completely on the grace, the favor that you have been assured of at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Christians are in a world animated by Satan and His demons and they are surrounded.
Chesty Puller at Chosin Reservoir sentiments were the opposite of what Peter is telling these disciples.
Reaffirms the point on grace in 1:10
Obedience: to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be yours in the fullest measure.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may dprove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
Ignorance: So this I say, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,
18 being darkened in their understanding, bexcluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart;
19 and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.

You cannot dwell in your sins and do what God expects of you.
Dwelling in your sin is to repeat the sin.
Get it behind you.
When you were an unrepentent sinner, you much of the sinning was in ignorance.
Ignorance of the gravity of the sin, who it offended, the consequences and so forth.
If you dwell on your sin, you are languishing in it and you will lose the fight with the enemy every time.
Christ died for your sins, they are forgiven and you are justified anew.
Put those sins behind you today.

But like the Holy one which called you: For God has not called us for the purpose of impurity, but in sanctification .
This is a pre-requisite for any assignment or mission or ministry the Lord assigns.
We must be holy.
How do we do that, given that we inherited a sin tendency and we sin multiple times a day - we still wallow in it?
Why must we be holy?
What happens when we become holy?
This is the way we fight; we fight with our courage and our holiness.
