1 Peter 1:1-4

1 Peter 1:1-4 CSB

Peter,  an apostle of Jesus Christ: To those chosen, living as exiles  dispersed  abroad in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,  chosen  according to the foreknowledge  of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit,  to be obedient  and to be sprinkled with the blood  of Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be multiplied to you. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Because of his great mercy  he has given us new birth  into a living hope  through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead  and into an inheritance that is imperishable,  undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven  for you.
