F I R S T P E T E R. CHAP. I. The apostle describes the persons to whom he writes, and salutes them ( 1 Peter 1:1 ; 1 Peter 1:2 ), blesses God for their regeneration to a lively hope of eternal salvation ( 1 Peter 1:3-5 ), in the hope of this salvation he shows they had great cause of rejoicing, though for a little while they were in heaviness and affliction, for the trial of their faith, which would produce joy unspeakable and full of glory, 1 Peter 1:6-9 . This is that salvation which the ancient prophets foretold and the angels desire to look into, 1 Peter 1:10-12 . He exhorts them to sobriety and holiness, which he presses from the consideration of the blood of Jesus, the invaluable price of man's redemption ( 1 Peter 1:13-21 ), and to brotherly love, from the consideration of their regeneration, and the excellency of their spiritual state, 1 Peter 1:22-25 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-2" class="com-number"
