Bible Question: What is the Key verse of 1Peter chapter 1? And who was the author and to whom was it written to? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Sandris... Welcome to the forum! Peter was actually written by Peter. :-) It was written to the churches in Asia Minor. Chapter 1 verse 1 states the author's name and those to whom he was writing. Just like our letters have a conventional structure, ancient letters followed this pattern all over the Hellenized world. I'd say the key verse to the epistle would be 1 Peter 1:7. The theme is the encouragement of believers to persevere despite persecution. In Him, Doc |
