The outline of 1 Peter 1:1–2

1 Pierre 1:1–2 (NEG79)

1 Pierre, apôtre de Jésus-Christ, à ceux qui sont étrangers et dispersés dans le Pont, la Galatie, la Cappadoce, l'Asie et la Bithynie,

1 Peter 1:1–2 forms the introduction to Peter’s letter. It consists of three parts:

  1. The name of the writer of the letter

  2. An identification of the recipients of this letter

  3. A word of greeting

This three-part structure is characteristic of most New Testament letters and runs parallel to how letters were commonly structured at that time.
