1 Peter
5 chapters · 105 verses · Peter · ~64 AD
You are aliens. Strangers. Exiles. This world is not your home — and Peter explains how to suffer well until you reach the one that is.
Overview
Written to believers facing real persecution, 1 Peter reframes suffering as participation in Christ's story. You're not home yet — and the fire you're walking through is refining gold, not destroying it. Peter combines the tenderness of a shepherd ("cast all your anxiety on Him, for He cares for you") with the steel of a man who watched his own Lord die.
