Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia were Roman provinces or regions in northern and western Asia Minor (modern Turkey), where Peter’s dispersed readers lived. Their scattered setting highlights the enduring “word of the Lord” preached to them, in contrast to the transience of all human life and glory.
