13 These all died in faith, ^enot having received the things promised, but having ^fseen them and greeted them from afar, and ^ghaving acknowledged that they were strangers and ^hexiles on the earth.

Greeting

1 ^aPeter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,

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

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