| | First Epistle of Peter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | This would have been a curious omission if 1 Peter were available, for 1 Peter, the First Epistle of Clement and the Shepherd of Hermas are the three writings that most clearly place the bishops of Rome in the position of instructing the other churches. | | | Peter's own amanuensis was the evangelist Mark, according to Clement of Alexandria and other early Christian writers. | | | One theory is that it was written by the Silvanus who is mentioned towards the end of the epistle: "By Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I account him, I have written unto you briefly" (5:12). |

| | THE FIRST LETTER OF PETER |
| | Peter says that God has provided believers new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, has given them an inheritance, and protects them for a salvation to be revealed at the end. | | | 1 Pet 1:1 indicates that the intended readers of 1 Peter were "God's elect...dispersed in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia." The letter was not written for a specific church but was a circular letter intended for the churches in these regions. | | | Peter instructs his readers to live among their non-Christian compatriots in holiness, so that the latter would glorify God on their account. |

| | Peter was one of the three Apostles (with James and John) who were with Christ on certain special occasions the raising of the daughter of Jairus from the dead (Mark 5:37; Luke 8:51); the Transfiguration of Christ (Matthew 17:1; Mark 9:1; Luke 9:28), the Agony in the Garden of Gethsemani (Matthew 26:37; Mark 14:33). | | | It is also clear that the position of Peter among the other Apostles and in the Christian community was the basis for the Kingdom of God on earth, that is, the Church of Christ. | | | Peter returned occasionally to the original Christian Church of Jerusalem, the guidance of which was entrusted to St. James, the relative of Jesus, after the departure of the Prince of the Apostles (A.D.

| | (1.) He reminds them that they were the elect of God; that they had been chosen according to his foreknowledge, by the sanctifying agency of the Holy Ghost, and in order that they might be obedient, 1 Peter 1:1,2. | | | Thus in 1 Peter 5:14, he says, "Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus." From this it would seem that the epistle was addressed to all true Christians in the region designated in 1 Peter 1:1. | | | Peter mentions the church with respect and kindness; and yet it would have been scarcely regarded as kind to mention it as a, "church in Babylon," if he used the term Babylon, as he must have done on such a supposition, to denote a place of eminent depravity. |

| | Peter again symbolically serves as peacemaker and symbol of unity as he had tried to be at Antioch. | | | The letter claims to come from the apostle Peter and this is consistent with the words of 5:1 that the author was a witness to Christ’s sufferings. | | | However, the so-called Tübingen school took the incident narrated in Galatians 2 and the ‘Cephas’ party mentioned in 1 Corinthians 1 to suggest a fundamental division within the early Church. |

| | Again, the reference to 'witness' in 5:1 is taken to mean Peter is calling himself an eyewitness to the passion of Jesus, a witness reflected supremely in 2:22-25. | | | Paul J. Achtemeier writes: "An argument often cited against the authenticity of 1 Peter is the lack of personal reminiscences from the life of Jesus, something one would surely expect in a letter from one who had accompanied him from Galilean ministry to resurrection. | | | It is scarcely conceivable that Peter would neither have sought to strengthen his authority by referring to his personal connections with Jesus nor have referred to the example of Jesus in some way."

| | The Message of First Peter |
| | Now this reminds Peter of the way the gospel was preached in Noah's day and how the Spirit of Christ, speaking through Noah, preached to the people of his day in order that he might bring them to God. | | | Peter begins with the greatest fact in the life of any Christian, his relationship to Jesus Christ with the new birth. | | | So it is very likely that the Apostle Peter wrote this letter from the city of Rome in about 67 A.D. And he wrote it to Christians, mostly Gentile Christians, who were scattered about in cities in the northeast province of what we now call Asia Minor, or Turkey, and to them this letter came. |
