1 Peter - Chapter: 1


1:1	Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
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.
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,
1:4	To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
1:5	Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
1:6	Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
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:
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:
1:9	Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
1:10	Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
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.
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.
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;
1:14	As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
1:15	But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
1:16	Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
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:
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;
1:19	But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
1:20	Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
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.
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:
1:23	Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
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:
1:25	But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.


1:1	PETER an Apostle of IESVS CHRIST, to the strangers that dwell here and there throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,
1:2	Elect according to the foreknowledge of God ye Father vnto sanctification of ye Spirit, through obedience and sprinkeling of the blood of Iesus Christ: Grace and peace bee multiplied vnto you.
1:3	Blessed bee God, euen the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, which according to his aboundant mercie hath begotten vs againe vnto a liuely hope by the resurrection of Iesus Christ from the dead,
1:4	To an inheritance immortall and vndefiled, and that withereth not, reserued in heauen for vs,
1:5	Which are kept by the power of God through faith vnto saluation, which is prepared to be shewed in the last time.
1:6	Wherein yee reioyce, though nowe for a season (if neede require) yee are in heauinesse, through manifolde tentations,
1:7	That the triall of your faith, being much more precious then golde that perisheth (though it be tried with fire) might bee founde vnto your praise, and honour and glorie at the appearing of Iesus Christ:
1:8	Whome yee haue not seene, and yet loue him, in whome nowe, though yee see him not, yet doe you beleeue, and reioyce with ioy vnspeakeable and glorious,
1:9	Receiuing the ende of your faith, euen the saluation of your soules.
1:10	Of the which saluation ye Prophets haue inquired and searched, which prophecied of the grace that should come vnto you,
1:11	Searching when or what time the Spirite which testified before of Christ which was in them, shoulde declare the sufferings that should come vnto Christ, and the glorie that shoulde follow.
1:12	Vnto whome it was reueiled, that not vnto themselues, but vnto vs they shoulde minister the things, which are nowe shewed vnto you by them which haue preached vnto you the Gospell by the holy Ghost sent downe from heauen, the which things the Angels desire to beholde.
1:13	Wherefore, girde vp the Ioynes of your minde: bee sober, and trust perfectly on that grace that is brought vnto you, in the reuelation of Iesus Christ,
1:14	As obedient children, not fashioning your selues vnto the former lustes of your ignorance:
1:15	But as hee which hath called you, is holie, so be yee holie in all maner of conuersation;
1:16	Because it is written, Be yee holie, for I am holie.
1:17	And if ye call him Father, which without respect of person iudgeth according to euery mans woorke, passe the time of your dwelling here in feare,
1:18	Knowing that yee were not redeemed with corruptible things, as siluer and golde, from your vaine conuersation, receiued by the traditions of the fathers,
1:19	But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a Lambe vndefiled, and without spot.
1:20	Which was ordeined before the foundation of the world, but was declared in the last times for your sakes,
1:21	Which by his meanes doe beleeue in God that raised him from the dead, and gaue him glorie, that your faith and hope might bee in God,
1:22	Hauing purified your soules in obeying the trueth through the spirite, to loue brotherly without faining, loue one another with a pure heart feruently,
1:23	Being borne anewe, not of mortall seede, but of immortall, by the woorde of God, who liueth and endureth for euer.
1:24	For all flesh is as grasse, and all the glorie of man is as the flower of grasse. The grasse withereth, and the flower falleth away.
1:25	But the worde of the Lord endureth for euer: and this is the woorde which is preached among you.

1:10	Of which salvacion have the Prophetes enquyred and searched which prophisied of ye grace that shuld come vnto you
