⁷ After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the ^[a]Spirit did not permit them.

Greeting to the Elect Pilgrims

1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,

To the ^[a]pilgrims ^(A)of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

To Live Is Christ

¹⁹ For I know that ^(A)this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

⁶ And because you are sons, God has sent forth ^(A)the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, ^[a]“Abba, Father!”

⁹ But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

²⁹ Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and overtake this chariot.”

¹¹ searching what, or what manner of time, ^(A)the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.
