1 Peter 1:1
The Gospel the Foreordained Purpose of God
SUMMARY OF I PETER 1: The Salutation. The Glorious Hope in Christ. It a
Strength in Trial. The Prophets Looking Forward Earnestly to Its
Revelation. Even the Angels Desiring to Look into the Mystery. A
Godly Life Becometh Those Who Have Such a Hope.
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ. The first letter of Peter opens
as do the other apostolic letters. Peter claims no superiority. The New
Testament knows nothing of his succession to Christ as the first of the
Popes.
To the strangers. He does not address Jews generally but Jewish
Christians primarily, though in portions of the letter he seems to
embrace Gentile Christians also.
Scattered. "Of the Dispersion" (Revised Version). The Jewish race
outside of Judea.
Throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia. The
letter is directed to the churches in five provinces of the Roman
empire which Paul had evangelized, all lying in a group south of the
Euxine Sea and east of the Caspian. See map of Paul's travels.
