Chapter 1
The First Epistle Of Peter
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect who are sojourners of the
Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, according to
the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto
obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace
be multiplied.
Blessed be ^1 the God and Father of our lord Jesus Christ, who according
to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of
Jesus Christ from the dead, unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled,
and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, who by the power of God
are guarded through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last
time. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be,
ye have been put to grief in manifold ^2 trials, that the proof of your faith,
being more precious than gold that perisheth though it is proved by fire, may
be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ:
whom not having seen ye love; on whom, though now ye see him not, yet
believing, ye rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and ^3 full of glory:
receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. Concerning
which salvation the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of
the grace that should come unto you: searching what time or what manner of
time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did point unto, when it testified
beforehand the sufferings ^4 of Christ, and the glories that should follow
them. To whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto you, did
they minister these things, which now have been announced unto you through
them that ^5 preached the gospel unto you ^6 by the Holy Spirit sent forth
from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.

[Footnote 3: Gr. glorified.]
[Footnote 4: Gr. unto.]
[Footnote 5: Gr. brought good tidings. Comp. Mt. 11. 5.]
[Footnote 6: Gr. in.]
Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope
perfectly on the grace that ^7 is to be brought unto you at the revelation of
Jesus Christ; as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to
your former lusts in the time of your ignorance: but ^8 like as he who called
you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living; because it is
written, ^9 Ye shall be holy; for I am holy. And if ye call on him as Father,
who without respect of persons judgeth according to each man's work, pass the
time of your sojourning in fear: knowing that ye were redeemed, not with
corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed
down from your fathers; but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish
and without spot, even the blood of Christ: who was foreknown indeed before
the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for
your sake, who through him are believers in God, that raised him from the
dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God. Seeing
ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love
of the brethren, love one another ^1 from the heart fervently: having been
begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the
word of ^2 God, which liveth and abideth. For,
^3 All flesh is as grass,
And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth, and the flower falleth:
But the ^4 word of the Lord abideth for ever.
And this is the ^4 word of good tidings which was ^5 preached unto you.
