Notes

1 Peter 1:3

new birth: This is a way of describing Christian conversion (compare John 3:1–13; James 1:18; 1 John 2:29; 3:9; 4:7; 5:1, 4, 18). This Greek word, which occurs again in 1 Peter 1:23, frames the message of 1:1–25.

1 Peter 1:3–9

In most New Testament letters, a section of thanks or praise follows the greeting. Peter praises God because his mercy gives new spiritual life. This life creates hope for the future, even during difficult times.
