Context of 1 Peter 5:14

12Silas has helped me to write this short letter to you. I know that he continues to trust Christ well. I have written to you because I want you to be strong. I have told you how God is kind to us and he helps us. This is God's true message to you. So continue to believe it and be strong. 13The believers here in Babylon say ‘hello’ to you. God has chosen them as his people, together with you. Mark, who is like my son, also says ‘hello’ to you. When you meet, kiss each other as Christian brothers and sisters. I pray for all of you who belong to Christ. I pray that God will give you peace in your minds.
