1 1Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,

To those who reside as 2aliens, 3scattered throughout 4Pontus, 5Galatia, 6Cappadocia, 7Asia, and 8Bithynia, 9who are chosen 2according to the 10foreknowledge of God the Father, 11by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, 12to 13obey Jesus Christ and be 14sprinkled with His blood: 15May grace and peace 16be yours in the fullest measure.

3 17Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who 18according to His great mercy 19has caused us to be born again to 20a living hope through the 21resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4to obtain an 22inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and 23will not fade away, 24reserved in heaven for you, 5who are 25protected by the power of God 26through faith for 27a salvation ready 28to be revealed in the last time.
