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] |
Subject: Jewish believers or not |
Bible Note: stjohn In your saying "It says that they were not a people meaning not a people of God or His elect." isn't that an assumption? I can't take what Gill says in his commentary as far as them being "God's elect, whether among Jews or Gentiles," because in Ho.1 it only speaks of Israel, and Judah nowhere is there any mention of Gentiles. This sounds more like a furtherance of Gills belief in the doctrine of election. He has stretched the understanding of the word "Loammi" to encompass the Gentiles where scripture doesn't say that at all. Setonahill |
