ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,
 as the waters cover the sea.

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
  • suffered, he threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that
  • judgeth righteously:
  • 1PE 02:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the
  • tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto
  • righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
  • 1PE 02:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now
  • returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
  • 1PE 03:01 Likewise, ye wives, [be] in subjection to your own
  • husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without
  • the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
  • 1PE 03:02 While they behold your chaste conversation [coupled]
  • with fear.
  • 1PE 03:03 Whose adorning let it not be that outward [adorning]
  • of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on
  • of apparel;
  • 1PE 03:04 But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that
  • which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and
  • quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
  • 1PE 03:05 For after this manner in the old time the holy women
  • also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in
  • subjection unto their own husbands:
  • 1PE 03:06 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose
  • daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with
  • any amazement.
  • 1PE 03:07 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with [them] according to
  • knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker
  • vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that
  • your prayers be not hindered.
  • 1PE 03:08 Finally, [be ye] all of one mind, having compassion
  • one of another, love as brethren, [be] pitiful, [be] courteous:
  • 1PE 03:09 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing:
  • but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called,
  • that ye should inherit a blessing.
  • 1PE 03:10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let
  • him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak
  • no guile:
  • 1PE 03:11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace,
  • and ensue it.
  • 1PE 03:12 For the eyes of the Lord [are] over the righteous,
  • and his ears [are open] unto their prayers: but the face of the
  • Lord [is] against them that do evil.
  • 1PE 03:13 And who [is] he that will harm you, if ye be
  • followers of that which is good?
  • 1PE 03:14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy
  • [are ye]: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
  • 1PE 03:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and [be]
  • ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a
  • reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
  • 1PE 03:16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak
  • evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely
  • accuse your good conversation in Christ.
  • 1PE 03:17 For [it is] better, if the will of God be so, that ye
  • suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
  • 1PE 03:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just
  • for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to
  • death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
  • 1PE 03:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits
  • in prison;
  • 1PE 03:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the
  • longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark
  • was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by
  • water.
  • 1PE 03:21 The like figure whereunto [even] baptism doth also
  • now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but
  • the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection
  • of Jesus Christ:
  • 1PE 03:22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of
  • God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto
  • him.
  • 1PE 04:01 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the
  • flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that
  • hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
  • 1PE 04:02 That he no longer should live the rest of [his] time
  • in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
  • 1PE 04:03 For the time past of [our] life may suffice us to
  • have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in
  • lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings,
  • and abominable idolatries:
  • 1PE 04:04 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with
  • [them] to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of [you]:
  • 1PE 04:05 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge
  • the quick and the dead.
  • 1PE 04:06 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to
  • them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men
  • in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
  • 1PE 04:07 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore
  • sober, and watch unto prayer.
  • 1PE 04:08 And above all things have fervent charity among
  • yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
  • 1PE 04:09 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
  • 1PE 04:10 As every man hath received the gift, [even so]
  • minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the
  • manifold grace of God.
  • 1PE 04:11 If any man speak, [let him speak] as the oracles of
  • God; if any man minister, [let him do it] as of the ability
  • which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified
  • through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever
  • and ever. Amen.
  • 1PE 04:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery
  • trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened
  • unto you:
  • 1PE 04:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's
  • sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be
  • glad also with exceeding joy.
  • 1PE 04:14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy
  • [are ye]; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you:
  • on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is
  • glorified.
  • 1PE 04:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or [as] a
  • thief, or [as] an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's
  • matters.
  • 1PE 04:16 Yet if [any man suffer] as a Christian, let him not
  • be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
  • 1PE 04:17 For the time [is come] that judgment must begin at
  • the house of God: and if [it] first [begin] at us, what shall
  • the end [be] of them that obey not the gospel of God?
  • 1PE 04:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall
  • the ungodly and the sinner appear?
  • 1PE 04:19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will
  • of God commit the keeping of their souls [to him] in well doing,
  • as unto a faithful Creator.
  • 1PE 05:01 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also
  • an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a
  • partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
  • 1PE 05:02 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the
  • oversight [thereof], not by constraint, but willingly; not for
  • filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
  • 1PE 05:03 Neither as being lords over [God's] heritage, but
  • being ensamples to the flock.
  • 1PE 05:04 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall
  • receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
  • 1PE 05:05 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the
  • elder. Yea, all [of you] be subject one to another, and be
  • clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth
  • grace to the humble.
  • 1PE 05:06 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of
  • God, that he may exalt you in due time:
  • 1PE 05:07 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
  • 1PE 05:08 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the
  • devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may
  • devour:
  • 1PE 05:09 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the
  • same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in
  • the world.
  • 1PE 05:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his
  • eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a
  • while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you].
  • 1PE 05:11 To him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever.
  • Amen.
  • 1PE 05:12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I
  • suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that
  • this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.
  • 1PE 05:13 The [church that is] at Babylon, elected together
  • with [you], saluteth you; and [so doth] Marcus my son.
  • 1PE 05:14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace
  • [be] with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
