1 Peter 1

Peter writes to scattered believers as elect strangers and blesses God for a living hope through Jesus Christ’s resurrection and an incorruptible inheritance reserved in heaven. Their faith is tested by trials, yet they rejoice in Christ. Peter then calls them to holiness, reverent living, brotherly love, and confidence in redemption through Christ’s precious blood.
