# General Information:
Peter begins to talk about the believers' salvation and faith.
# our Lord Jesus Christ ... has given us new birth
The words "our" and "us" refer to Peter and those to whom he is writing. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-exclusive]])
# he has given us new birth to a living hope
Here "new birth" is a metaphor meaning that God has changed people so that they live their lives in a new way. Here "living hope" is a metaphor meaning an enduring, confident expectation." Alternate translation: "he has caused us to live in a new way, having an enduring, confident hope" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
# he has given us new birth
"he has caused us to be born again"
