1 PETER 5:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 3
“By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.”
With the help of Silas, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you this short letter, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it — the notation that Silas (Silvanus) carried the letter establishes his role as amanuensis (scribe) and witness. Peter's epistolary voice shifts from formal instruction to personal exhortation to 'stand firm' (stēkō) in 'the true grace of God' (alēthē charis theou).
