I think when you originally think about this on the surface I think of politicians and people who are in power in our country and around the world. I think if you apply a deeper meaning to this you can get that Peter is talking about people that can influence our lives. I remember yesterday I was listening to the radio at work and I heard a lyric on a song that said "It's the new thing to live in sin", at first I laughed at how random it was but the more I thought about it how horrible yet true it is. Our generation is rationalizing itself into sin because of people in the media influencing us.
Returning to the pollutions of the world gives us greater condemnation because we have know what it is to live with the gospel yet we choose not to follow it.

Choice 3 Hebrews 13
How should we treat strangers? We should treat everybody with kindness and respect no matter what because they could be angelic visitors in disguise. I'm not sure if he means it literally right here but I feel that everyone is put into our lives for a reason and if God put them in our lives then they deserve the uttermost respect and charity from you.
How is marriage looked upon? Marriage is considered honourable and the only way that the bed remains undefiled.
Warnings about covetousness? We should never be covetousness of what others have because God has given us everything and that's all that really matters is what he feels the need to give us. It is also showing that you are not grateful for what he's done for you.
What is the same yesterday today and forever? Well God's principles, covenants, and teachings are eternal. They have always been and always will be as well as Him. He is a God because he follows these principles.
How are we sanctified? We are sanctified through the Atoning blood of Christ. We are justified and made pure through Him because of His mercy when he paid the price for us.
How are we to be around those that rule over us? We are to submit ourselves to them because they are given stewardship and revelation over us and therefore have power to help us reach the Celestial Kingdom.
Who do we pray for? We are to pray for the believers that they will be one in mind and in purpose and to live honestly in everything that we do.
