1 PETER an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the foreigners dispers'd thro' Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, whom God the father has chosen in pursuance of his decree, 2 to sanctify them by his spirit, that by their obedience they might be sprinkled with the blood of Jesus Christ, may the divine savour make you continually prosper. 3 Blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has regenerated us, and given us by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the expectation of immortal life, 4 in the enjoyment of a state, that can never change or decay, a state reserv'd in heaven for us, 5 whom the divine power preserves through faith for that salvation, which is going to be made manifest in the latter time. 1 Peter 1:1-5, Mace New Testament.
