Greeting

1 ^aPeter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,

To those who are elect exiles of the ^bDispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

17 And if you call on him as Father who judges ^eimpartially according to each one’s deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your ^fexile,

11 Beloved, I urge you as ^lsojourners and ^mexiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, ⁿwhich wage war against your soul.
