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 (short): Jewish believers or not |
Question (full): According to Gal. 2:9 it was agreed that Peter would have his ministry to the Jews, while Paul's ministry would be to the gentiles. With this in mind, when Peter writes in 1 Pet.1 "to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia," Can we assume that he was writing to Jewish believers?
