AI-assisted, sourced1 Peter 1:3-12A living hope
About 1 Peter 1Peter writes to "the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia," blessing God who "hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" to an inheritance "reserved in heaven." Though now "in heaviness through manifold temptations," their tried faith is "more precious than of gold," and the prophets searched for this salvation. So they are to hope fully, be holy "in all manner of conversation," remember they were redeemed "with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish," and love one another fervently, being born again "by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever." 1 Peter 1:11 Peter 1:31 Peter 1:41 Peter 1:61 Peter 1:71 Peter 1:101 Peter 1:131 Peter 1:151 Peter 1:191 Peter 1:221 Peter 1:23
