R. F. Weymouth
Book 60 1 Peter
001:001 Peter, an Apostle of Jesus Christ: To God's own people scattered over the earth, who are living as foreigners in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Roman Asia, and Bithynia,
001:002 chosen in accordance with the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, with a view to their obedience and to their being sprinkled with the blood of Jesus Christ. May more and more grace and peace be granted to you.
001:003 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in His great mercy has begotten us anew to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
001:004 to an inheritance imperishable, undefiled and unfading,
which has been reserved in Heaven for you,
001:005 whom God in His power is guarding through faith for a salvation
that even now stands ready for unveiling at the End of the Age.
