The First Epistle of Peter was written by the apostle Peter from Rome between A.D. 64 and 67 to Christians who had fled Asia Minor. It admonishes the pilgrims to have hope and courage and to trust in the power of God.

1 Peter 4

4:14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
