2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

 2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

 Israel is specifically identified in Isaiah 53:5-6 as the ones healed; Christ was wounded for their transgressions, and bruised for their iniquities.

 It is Israel who has returned unto their Shepherd (Psalm 80:1).

 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

 By being baptized, Israel justified God (Luke 7:29). Israel had to be baptized to be physically saved to enter the kingdom (Mark 16:16). For Israel, belief in the name of Jesus, and baptism was required for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38). Israel had to be baptized for the remission of sins to be cleansed for the priesthood in the kingdom on earth (Exodus 29:4 Luke 3:3 Revelation 5:10). The resurrection of Christ gave assurance to Israel that their baptism would save them, in that, Christ being alive, would return to establish the promised kingdom on earth to Israel, in which, they will receive the new covenant.

 4:3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:

 Here Peter is distinguishing his audience as being Israel, in saying they had wrought the will of the Gentiles. God exhorted Israel not to be like the Gentiles in Leviticus 18:24-30.

 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

 In Isaiah 48:10 the Lord has chosen Israel in the furnace of affliction to refine them, that they might obtain their future salvation at the Lord's coming.

 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

 To enter the kingdom, Israel had to be righteous (Matthew 5:20 Psalm 1:5-6 Isaiah 64:5 Proverb 11:31 Ezekiel 18:24 Hebrews 10:38-39

 5:2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

 The elders and overseers of Israel were to feed the flock of God, the people of God (Ezekiel 34:30-31 Ezekiel 34:2-3 Acts 20:28).

 5:4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

 Only Israel could say that the Lord was their chief Shepherd (Psalm 80:1 Psalm 23:1 Isaiah 40:11 John 10:11 Hebrews 13:20).

 Israel was instructed to be humble to receive grace (Proverb 3:34 Isaiah 57:15 Job 22:29 Luke 14:11).
