Clearly, by the term “the ones chosen, ” Peter referred to those who, like him, had been anointed by holy spirit and given“ a new birth to a living hope ” to rule with Christ in the heavens. ( Read 1 Peter 1: 3, 4.)
بَعْدَ نَحْوِ ٣٠ سَنَةً مِنْ صُعُودِ يَسُوعَ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ ،‏ كَتَبَ ٱلرَّسُولُ بُطْرُسُ رِسَالَةً « إِلَى ٱلنُّزَلَاءِ ٱلْمُشَتَّتِينَ فِي بُنْطُسَ وَغَلَاطِيَةَ وَكَبَّدُوكِيَةَ وَآسِيَا وَبِيثِينِيَةَ ،‏ إِلَى ٱلْمُخْتَارِينَ » .‏
