## Part 2: Important Religious and Cultural Concepts ##
#### How were Christians treated in Rome? ####
This letter was probably written from Rome. It appears that when Peter wrote this letter, Christians were being badly persecuted. When Peter speaks of the church that is in Babylon (5:13), he may have been referring to Rome. Or perhaps he was referring to Christians everywhere "in exile," that is, living in this world, away from the full reality of the kingdom of God where they would be in perfect peace.

## Part 3: Important Translation Issues ##
#### Singular and plural "you" ####
In this book, the word "I" refers to Peter, except for two places: [1 Peter 1:16](../01/15.md) and [1 Peter 2:6](../02/06.md). The word "you" is always plural and refers to the believers in the Dispersion. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-exclusive]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you]])

#### What are the major issues in the text of the Book of 1 Peter? ####
@ -41,6 +41,6 @@ The following are the most significant textual issues in the Book of 1 Peter:
* "You made your souls pure by obedience to the truth for the purpose of sincere brotherly love, so love one another earnestly from the heart" (1:22). The ULB, UDB, and most other modern versions have this reading. Some older versions have, "You made your souls pure by obedience to the truth through the Spirit for the purpose of sincere brotherly love, so love one another earnestly from the heart."
Translators are advised not to translate the expression "through the Spirit." However, if older Bible versions that exist in their region have it, it is not wrong to translate it. If it is translated, it should be put inside square brackets ([]) to indicate that it is probably not original to the Book of 1 Peter.
