Verse 12, By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have
written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God
wherein ye stand.
Verse 13, The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you,
saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.
It is amazing to understand that Peter is at Babylon, writing to the
scattered strangers. Catholics suppose that Peter is the first pope and
remained at Rome during his reign. But this scriptures reveals the truth about
it. Peter was pastor of the church at Babylon. He would well teach the
believers there.
Verse 14, Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you
all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Although Peter is a long way from the scattered strangers, he still loves
them and prays for God richest blessings upon them all.
