In the midst of talking about being persecuted for one's faith, and Peter extensively talks about being persecuted for one's faith, Peter says to honor the emperor. Do you realize the subversiveness of this? It wasn't, just get along and pledge allegiance to the flag. No, no—it was honor the emperor.

By the way, the emperor, Nero, was the one who ended up martyring Peter. Nero used Christians as scapegoats, and he started some of the most significant persecution of early Christians. Nero is the one who tied Christians to poles in his garden and lit them on fire. They would burn alive to light his garden parties. He was the one who would take Christians and have them killed by wild animals for sport. He would do it as a public spectacle.
