Book 60 : 1 PETER - Chapter 001
001:001
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered
throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia
001:002
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
001:003
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
001:004
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that
fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you
001:005
Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation
ready to be revealed in the last time
001:006
Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need
be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations
001:007
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
001:008
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
001:009
Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your
souls
001:010
Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched
diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto
you
001:011
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
001:012
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
001:013
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
001:014
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to
the former lusts in your ignorance
001:015
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all
manner of conversation
001:016
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy
001:017
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
001:018
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
001:019
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without
blemish and without spot
001:020
Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the
world, but was manifest in these last times for you
001:021
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
001:022
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
001:023
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of
incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth
for ever
001:024
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
001:025
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the
word which by the gospel is preached unto you
