To those who reside as ^(B)exiles, ^(C)scattered throughout ^(D)Pontus, ^(E)Galatia, ^(F)Cappadocia, ^(G)Asia, and ^(H)Bithynia, ^(I)who are chosen ² according to the ^(J)foreknowledge of God the Father, ^(K)by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to the ^(L)obedience of Jesus Christ and the ^(M)sprinkling of His blood: ^(N)May grace and peace be multiplied to you.
