First Epistle of Peter
Scripture · Epistle · c. 62–64 · Greek
To churches under the shadow of persecution: a living hope, a royal priesthood, suffering after Christ's pattern. Written 'through Silvanus' from 'Babylon' — Rome, by the common reading — in the years before Nero's fire made the shadow real.
To: the exiles of the dispersion in Asia Minor
