1Pe
1:1
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who are elect exiles of
the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
1Pe
1:2
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the
sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for
sprinkling with his blood: May grace
and peace
be multiplied to you.
2Pe
1:1
Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who
have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the
righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
2Pe
1:2
May grace
and peace
be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
Peter
makes it explicit. He begins both his letters, “May grace and
peace be
multiplied to
you.” ” The verb behind “be multiplied” is used twelve times
in the New Testament and always means “increase” — move from
lesser to greater.
May
your peace be greater today than yesterday.
