1 Peter 1:1

Peter writes to Christians in many different places

1 This letter is from me, Peter. I am an apostle of Jesus Christ.

1:1Christ is a name for Jesus in the Greek language that means the same as Messiah in the Hebrew language. It means someone that God chose as a special king for his people.

I am writing to you, God's own people that he has chosen. You are now living in many different places, in the regions called Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia. You are living in these foreign places as strangers.
