1PE 01:01 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers
scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and
Bithynia,
1PE 01:02 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the
Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and
sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and
peace, be multiplied.
1PE 01:03 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us
again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the dead,
1PE 01:04 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and
that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
1PE 01:05 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto
salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
1PE 01:06 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season,
if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
1PE 01:07 That the trial of your faith, being much more
precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with
fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the
appearing of Jesus Christ:
1PE 01:08 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye
see [him] not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable
and full of glory:
1PE 01:09 Receiving the end of your faith, [even] the salvation
of [your] souls.
1PE 01:10 Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and
searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace [that should
come] unto you:
1PE 01:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of
Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified
beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should
follow.
1PE 01:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves,
but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported
unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the
Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire
to look into.
1PE 01:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober,
and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you
at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
1PE 01:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves
according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
1PE 01:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye
holy in all manner of conversation;
1PE 01:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
1PE 01:17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of
persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of
your sojourning [here] in fear:
1PE 01:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with
corruptible things, [as] silver and gold, from your vain
conversation [received] by tradition from your fathers;
1PE 01:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb
without blemish and without spot:
1PE 01:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of
the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
1PE 01:21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from
the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be
in God.
1PE 01:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the
truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren,
[see that ye] love one another with a pure heart fervently:
1PE 01:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of
incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for
ever.
1PE 01:24 For all flesh [is] as grass, and all the glory of man
as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower
thereof falleth away:
1PE 01:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this
is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
1PE 02:01 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and
hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
1PE 02:02 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word,
that ye may grow thereby:
1PE 02:03 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord [is] gracious.
1PE 02:04 To whom coming, [as unto] a living stone, disallowed
indeed of men, but chosen of God, [and] precious,
1PE 02:05 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual
house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices,
acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
1PE 02:06 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture,
Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and
he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
1PE 02:07 Unto you therefore which believe [he is] precious:
but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders
disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
1PE 02:08 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence,
[even to them] which stumble at the word, being disobedient:
whereunto also they were appointed.
1PE 02:09 But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood,
an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the
praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his
marvellous light:
1PE 02:10 Which in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now
the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have
obtained mercy.
1PE 02:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech [you] as strangers and
pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
1PE 02:12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles:
that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by
[your] good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the
day of visitation.
1PE 02:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the
Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
1PE 02:14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him
for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that
do well.
1PE 02:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye
may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
1PE 02:16 As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloak of
maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
1PE 02:17 Honour all [men]. Love the brotherhood. Fear God.
Honour the king.
1PE 02:18 Servants, [be] subject to [your] masters with all
fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
1PE 02:19 For this [is] thankworthy, if a man for conscience
toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
1PE 02:20 For what glory [is it], if, when ye be buffeted for
your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well,
and suffer [for it], ye take it patiently, this [is] acceptable
with God.
1PE 02:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also
suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow
his steps:
1PE 02:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
1PE 02:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he
