The Book of1 Peter
New Testament · Book 60 of 66 · 5 chapters · 105 verses
1 Peter is written to exiles under fire — believers scattered and slandered across Asia Minor. Peter, who once cracked under pressure, now teaches how to stand: a living hope through resurrection, holiness in a hostile culture, and casting all anxiety on the One who cares for you.
