Study Lenses

The verse centers on "right", "hand", "gone", "heauen", "angels", "powers", "might", and "subiect". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "right" and "hand", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The prior verse says "Whereof the baptisme that nowe is answering...", giving immediate footing for "right" and "hand". In 1 Peter context, the local focus is hope in suffering, holy conduct, submission, and grace.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "right" and "hand" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
