1 Peter 1 - Introduction
Title. The title given in most of the Uncial MSS. is simply like the short English form, 1 Peter. Some of the Cursive, or later, MSS., give the variations, "The first Catholic (or general) Epistle of Peter," and "The Catholic Epistle of the Holy and Venerable (pan-euphemos) Apostle Peter."
