1 Peter was written to Gr.parepidemos, Trans. stranger (1 Pet.1:1) and pilgrims (Heb. 11:13; 1 Pet. 2:11). They were Jews of the dispersion. They were the elect, or the converted Jews. v.2. See also Jas.1:1; Acts 13:16. Not Gentile Christians. Just as there will be Jews of the dispersion (those that are scattered abroad) that are the elect, converted Jews of the tribulation.

The dispersion in James is projected to the Jewish people scattered throughout the world. Disapora

Vut the dispersion in 1 Peter is aimed at the Gentile Christians that are scattered, not the Jewish population that is scattered. Again — Disapora — two different meanings and times.
