I have been looking at all the commands that are given to Believers in the New Testament:

Peter gives 10 commands to Believers:

Lay aside all malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy and evil speaking 1 Pet. 2:1
Desire the pure milk of the word 1 Pet. 2:2

Honor all people, love your brothers in Christ, fear God, honor rulers 1 Pet. 2:17
Be ready to give an answer of the hope that is in you 1 Pet. 3:15

Cast all your cares upon God 1 Pet. 5:7
Be sober and vigilant 1 Pet. 5:8
