Superb lesson brother. I appreciate you clarifying the grammatical considerations. You were clear that the SALVATION Peter wrote of in the first half of the chapter leads to the possibility and necessity for HOLINESS in the second half of the chapter and the first few verses of chapter 2.

Literal reading in the Greek is "having girded up the loins of your mind." Loins are the hips of the human body. It is from the hips that the body pivots around. It is also the center of the strength of the body. The mind is where actions, and words pivot from and is where strength or weakness reside for mental endurance.
