It's very important to understand the context of Peter's first letter. Keep in mind that he was executed in Rome during the same period of Nero's persecution that claimed the life of Paul. Our best guess is that Peter wrote this letter shortly before his arrest. His second letter that we have indicates he was by then in prison. Since Nero died in 68 AD, Peter must have been executed before that.
