NASB | 1 Peter 1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, ¶ To those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 1:1 Peter, an apostle (special messenger, personally chosen representative) of Jesus Christ, To those [elect--both Jewish and Gentile believers] who live as exiles, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia [Minor], and Bithynia, who are chosen [Heb 13:14] |
Bible Question: Was peter writing to the christians who had been scattered after the dispersion in acts? |
Bible Answer: Hello Sandris, The epistle was addressed to Christians througout Asia Minor and evidence seems to indicate this could include both Hebrew Christians as well as Gentiles- "Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen" (NASB). The time of 1 Peter (mid 60's AD)would roughly coincide with the dating of Acts (62-64 AD). I hope this is helpful, BradK |
