Notes

  • For the salvation: In the New Testament, salvation often means the final rescue from sin and death when Christ returns. This hope encourages Christians to persevere until the end (see also 1:9, 10; 2:2; 4:18).

  • ready to be revealed: The future revealing of God’s salvation stands in contrast to the present time, when God and his purposes are not fully seen (see also 1:7, 13).

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.
