1 Peter 1:3
Summary for 1Pet 1:3-9: 1:3-9 a In most New Testament letters, the greeting is followed by a section of thanksgiving or praise. Peter praises God that his mercy brings new spiritual life, which produces confident expectation about the future despite sufferings in the meantime. 1:3 b born again: New birth is a way of describing Christian conversion (cp. John 3:1-13 c; Jas 1:18 d; 1 Jn 2:29 e; 3:9 f; 4:7 g; 5:1 h, 4 i, 18 j). This Greek word, which occurs again in 1 Pet 1:23 k, brackets the message of 1:1-25 l.
