Greeting

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To God’s chosen strangers in the world of the diaspora, who live in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia.

Final greeting

I have written and sent these few lines to you by Silvanus. I consider him to be a faithful brother. In these lines I have urged and affirmed that this is the genuine grace of God. Stand firm in it.

The fellow-elect church in Babylon greets you, and so does my son Mark.

Greet each other with the kiss of love. Peace to you all who are in Christ.
