1 Peter 1:19

1:19 but by precious blood like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb, namely Christ.

1 Peter 5:14

5:14 Greet one another with a loving kiss. ¹  Peace to all of you who are in Christ. ² 

---

¹ tn Grk “a kiss of love.”

² tc Most mss (א P 1739^c Ï) have ἀμήν (amen, “amen”) at the end of 1 Peter. Such a conclusion is routinely added by scribes to NT books because a few of these books originally had such an ending (cf. Rom 16:27; Gal 6:18; Jude 25). A majority of Greek witnesses have the concluding ἀμήν in every NT book except Acts, James, and 3 John (and even in these books, ἀμήν is found in some witnesses). It is thus a predictable variant. Further, the absence of such a conclusion to the epistle in such witnesses as A B Ψ 81 323 945 1241 1739* co seems inexplicable unless the word here is not authentic.
