1 Pet. 5:11      1 Pet. 5:13

First letter of Peter 5:12

I [Peter] have written this short letter to you through Silvanus, whom I know to be a faithful brother. I have written to encourage (admonish, appeal to you) and confirm (testify to) that this [the content of this letter as a whole] is God's true grace. Stand firm in it [grace].
[Silvanus is the same person whom Luke calls Silas in the Acts of the Apostles, see Acts 15:22; 16:25, 40; 17:4; 18:5. Here Peter uses the Latin form of his name, as does Paul, see 2 Cor. 1:19; 1 Thess 1:1; 2 Thess 1:1. He was a recognized leader in the church in Jerusalem and a Roman citizen, see Acts 15:22, 37. He traveled with Paul on his second missionary journey, see Acts 18:5. He was a faithful co-worker of both Peter and Paul. Peter concludes his letter with an exhortation to stand firm in grace. There is a fine balance between receiving grace through Jesus, see Heb. 1:3, and the exhortation to also remain in that grace.]
