John Calvin Commentary 1 Peter 3:11

"And let him turn away from evil, and do good; Let him seek peace, and pursue it." — 1 Peter 3:11 (ASV)

Let him seek peace. It is not enough to embrace it when offered to us, but it should be followed when it seems to flee from us. It also often happens that when we seek it as much as we can, others will not grant it to us. Because of these difficulties and hindrances, he instructs us to seek and pursue it.
