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 Note: Tim, Yep. I would wager there are more we aren't thinking of as well. So to apply this to the original point which prompted me to bring this up, anybody who says that the promises made to Israel must not be applied to the gentiles in Christ, that we must not teach it and indeed it is even false teaching, they find themselves in the very awkward position of correcting the NT writers who say these things! For it is the new testament that does this. It is Paul who says it, not us. In Christ, Beja |
