About the Book of 1 Peter

1 Peter is a letter of hope written to believers scattered and suffering in Asia Minor. Peter does not promise an easy road; he shows that trials refine faith like gold, and that the cross and resurrection of Christ are the ground of living hope and holy living.

Its 5 chapters and 105 verses open with the great doxology: "blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which... hath begotten us again unto a lively hope" (1 Peter 1:3). The letter carries the assurance that "the trial of your faith... is much more precious than of gold" (1 Peter 1:7), the summons to "cast all your care upon him; for he careth for you" (1 Peter 5:7), and the comfort that "the God of all grace... shall himself perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you" (1 Peter 5:10).
