The lectionary epistle for Easter 3 in Year A is 1 Peter 1.17–23. In this section, Peter begins by reflecting on the significant of the impartiality of God's love—he is not like a king who shows favouritism to some, by lifting their bowed face to look at him, but treats all equally—as Peter discovered in Acts 10.34 "I know that God does not show favouritism" using a cognate word to this one.

The magnitude of what God has done for us in Jesus then leads him to explore the seriousness of our response to God's grace.
