²⁵ whom God set forth ^(A)as a ^[a]propitiation ^(B)by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over ^(C)the sins that were previously committed,

^14 (A)in whom we have redemption ^[a]through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

Reconciled in Christ

¹⁹ For it pleased the Father that ^(A)in Him all the fullness should dwell, ²⁰ and ^(B)by Him to reconcile ^(C)all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, ^(D)having made peace through the blood of His cross.

²¹ And you, ^(E)who once were alienated and enemies in your mind ^(F)by wicked works, yet now He has ^(G)reconciled

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, ^2 (B)elect ^(C)according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, ^(D)in sanctification of the Spirit, for ^(E)obedience and ^(F)sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ:

^(G)Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

A Heavenly Inheritance

^3 (H)Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who ^(I)according to His abundant mercy ^(J)has begotten us again to a living hope ^(K)through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

^6 (A)If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. ⁷ But if we ^(B)walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and ^(C)the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
