# to those who have received the same precious faith
|
|
|
|
That these people have received faith implies that God has given that faith to them. Alternate translation: "to those to whom God has given the same precious faith" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

|
|
# to those who have received
|
|
|
|
"to you who have received." Peter addresses all believers who may read this letter.
|

|
|
# we have received
|
|
|
|
Here the word "we" refers to Peter and the other apostles, but not to those to whom he is writing. Alternate translation: "we apostles have received" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-exclusive]])
