Greek Sentence Structure

I recently finished my translation of I Peter chapter I for practice.  I
looked in Daniel Wallace's "Greek Grammar beyond the Basics" and noted
that Wallace said that I Peter 1:3-12 is one sentence.  Looking back into
the UBS, I noticed that the editors had broken the passage into several
sentences, and even broken the passage into two pericopes.  I know how the
text was originally written, and that the break-up  of the passage is a
difference between scholars; but, how do I, as a wannabe Greek scholar,
determine where a sentence begins and ends?
Any help or theories is apperciated
