==== <1PE1>

1PE-1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers

scattered

throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

1PE-1:2 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-1:3 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-1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and

that fadeth not

away, reserved in heaven for you,

1PE-1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto

salvation ready to

be revealed in the last time.

1PE-1:6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if

need be, ye

are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

1PE-1:7 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-1:8 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-1:9 Receiving the end of your faith, [even] the salvation

of [your] souls.

1PE-1:10 Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and

searched

diligently, who prophesied of the grace [that should come] unto

you:

1PE-1:11 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-1:12 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-1:13 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-1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves

according to the

former lusts in your ignorance:

1PE-1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy

in all manner

of conversation;

1PE-1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

1PE-1:17 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-1:18 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-1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb

without blemish

and without spot:

1PE-1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of

the world, but

was manifest in these last times for you,

1PE-1:21 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-1:22 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-1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of

incorruptible, by

the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

1PE-1:24 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-1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this

is the word

which by the gospel is preached unto you.

==== <1PE2>

1PE-2:1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and

hypocrisies, and

envies, and all evil speakings,

1PE-2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word,

that ye may

grow thereby:

1PE-2:3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord [is] gracious.

1PE-2:4 To whom coming, [as unto] a living stone, disallowed

indeed of men,

but chosen of God, [and] precious,

1PE-2:5 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-2:6 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-2:7 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-2:8 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-2:9 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-2:10 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-2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech [you] as strangers and

pilgrims, abstain

from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

1PE-2:12 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-2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the

Lord's sake:

whether it be to the king, as supreme;

1PE-2:14 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-2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may

put to silence

the ignorance of foolish men:

1PE-2:16 As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloak of

maliciousness,

but as the servants of God.

1PE-2:17 Honour all [men]. Love the brotherhood. Fear God.

Honour the king.

1PE-2:18 Servants, [be] subject to [your] masters with all fear;

not only to

the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

1PE-2:19 For this [is] thankworthy, if a man for conscience

toward God endure

grief, suffering wrongfully.

1PE-2:20 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-2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also

suffered for

us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

1PE-2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

1PE-2:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he

suffered, he

threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth

righteously:

1PE-2:24 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-2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now

returned unto the

Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

==== <1PE3>

1PE-3:1 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-3:2 While they behold your chaste conversation [coupled]

with fear.

1PE-3:3 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-3:4 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-3:5 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-3:6 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-3:7 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-3:8 Finally, [be ye] all of one mind, having compassion one

of another,

love as brethren, [be] pitiful, [be] courteous:

1PE-3:9 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-3:10 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-3:11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace,

and ensue it.

1PE-3:12 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-3:13 And who [is] he that will harm you, if ye be followers

of that which

is good?

1PE-3:14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy

[are ye]: and be

not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

1PE-3:15 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-3:16 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-3:17 For [it is] better, if the will of God be so, that ye

suffer for well

doing, than for evil doing.

1PE-3:18 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-3:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in

prison;

1PE-3:20 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-3:21 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-3:22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of

God; angels and

authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

==== <1PE4>

1PE-4:1 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-4:2 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-4:3 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-4:4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with

[them] to the same

excess of riot, speaking evil of [you]:

1PE-4:5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge

the quick and the

dead.

1PE-4:6 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-4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore

sober, and watch

unto prayer.

1PE-4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among

yourselves: for

charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

1PE-4:9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.

1PE-4:10 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-4:11 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-4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery

trial which is to

try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

1PE-4:13 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-4:14 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-4:15 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-4:16 Yet if [any man suffer] as a Christian, let him not be

ashamed; but

let him glorify God on this behalf.

1PE-4:17 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-4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall

the ungodly and

the sinner appear?

1PE-4:19 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.

==== <1PE5>

1PE-5:1 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-5:2 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-5:3 Neither as being lords over [God's] heritage, but being

ensamples to

the flock.

1PE-5:4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall

receive a crown of

glory that fadeth not away.

1PE-5:5 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-5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of

God, that he may

exalt you in due time:

1PE-5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

1PE-5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil,

as a roaring

lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

1PE-5:9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the

same afflictions

are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

1PE-5:10 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-5:11 To him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

1PE-5:12 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-5:13 The [church that is] at Babylon, elected together with

[you],

saluteth you; and [so doth] Marcus my son.

1PE-5:14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace

[be] with you all

that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
