1From Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ.
To God's people who are scattered like foreigners in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia.
2God the Father decided to choose you as his people, and his Spirit has made you holy. You have obeyed Jesus Christ and are sprinkled with his blood.
I pray that God will be kind to you and will keep on giving you peace!
A Real Reason for Hope3Praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is so good, and by raising Jesus from death, he has given us new life and a hope that lives on.
4 Then he will save you, just as he has always planned to do.
6On that day you will be glad, even if you have to go through many hard trials for a while.
7 from the useless way of life you learned from your ancestors. But you know you were not rescued by such things as silver or gold that don't last forever.
19 and your souls were made pure. Now you sincerely love each other. But you must keep on loving with all your heart.
23Do this because God has given you new birth by his message that lives on forever.
24Is 40.6-8 (LXX). The Scriptures say,
“Humans wither like grass,
and their glory fades
like wild flowers.
Grass dries up,
and flowers fall
to the ground.
25But what the Lord has said
will stand forever.”
Our good news to you is what the Lord has said.
