____ said that we have been called out of ____ into His marvelous light, to follow Christ's pathway of ____, and to return blessing for ____.

• A. Peter; darkness; suffering; railing
• B. Paul; night; hardship; praise
• C. John; light; trials; blessing
• D. James; darkness; comfort; insult

Answer: (A)

We’re looking for an attribution that fits Peter’s teaching about who believers are, where they came from, and how they should respond to opposition. Peter declares that believers have been called out of darkness into God’s marvelous light, a transformation that defines their identity and mission. He also urges followers to imitate Christ by walking the path of suffering for doing good, rather than avoiding hardship, and to repay insults or harmful words with blessings instead of retaliating. So the statement that correctly matches Peter, darkness to light, suffering, and railing fits his pattern of instruction.

The other options mix in different authors and swap key images or outcomes (for example, night instead of light, hardship instead of suffering, praise or insults instead of railing), which doesn’t align with Peter’s explicit themes about being called into light, enduring suffering, and returning blessing in the face of railing.
