PeterG4074, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to the strangersG3927 scatteredG1290 throughout PontusG4195, GalatiaG1053, CappadociaG2587, AsiaG773, andG2532 BithyniaG978,
ElectG1588 accordingG2596 to the foreknowledgeG4268 of GodG2316 the FatherG3962, throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151, untoG1519 obedienceG5218 andG2532 sprinklingG4473 of the bloodG129 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547: GraceG5485 unto youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, be multipliedG4129.
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whichG3588 according toG2596 hisG846 abundantG4183 mercyG1656 hath begottenG313 usG2248 againG313 untoG1519 a livelyG2198 hopeG1680 byG1223 the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 fromG1537 the deadG3498, {abundant: Gr. much}
ToG1519 an inheritanceG2817 incorruptibleG862, andG2532 undefiledG283, andG2532 that fadeth not awayG263, reservedG5083 inG1722 heavenG3772 forG1519 youG5209, {for you: or, for us}
WhoG3588 are keptG5432 byG1722 the powerG1411 of GodG2316 throughG1223 faithG4102 untoG1519 salvationG4991 readyG2092 to be revealedG601 inG1722 the lastG2078 timeG2540.
WhereinG1722+G3739 ye greatly rejoiceG21, though nowG737 for a seasonG3641, ifG1487 needG1163 beG2076, ye are in heavinessG3076 throughG1722 manifoldG4164 temptationsG3986:
ThatG2443 the trialG1383 of yourG5216 faithG4102, being muchG4183 more preciousG5093 than of goldG5553 that perishethG622, thoughG1223+G1161 it be triedG1381 with fireG4442, might be foundG2147 untoG1519 praiseG1868 andG2532 honourG5092 andG2532 gloryG1391 atG1722 the appearingG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
WhomG3739 havingG1492 notG3756 seenG1492, ye loveG25; inG1519 whomG3739, though nowG737 ye seeG3708 him notG3361, yetG1161 believingG4100, ye rejoiceG21 with joyG5479 unspeakableG412 andG2532 full of gloryG1392:
ReceivingG2865 the endG5056 of yourG5216 faithG4102, even the salvationG4991 of your soulsG5590.
OfG4012 whichG3739 salvationG4991 the prophetsG4396 have enquiredG1567 andG2532 searched diligentlyG1830, whoG3588 prophesiedG4395 ofG4012 the graceG5485 that should come untoG1519 youG5209:
SearchingG2045 whatG1519+G5101, orG2228 what mannerG4169 of timeG2540 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547 whichG3588 was inG1722 themG846 did signifyG1213, when it testified beforehandG4303 the sufferingsG3804 ofG1519 ChristG5547, andG2532 the gloryG1391 that should followG3326+G5023.
Unto whomG3739 it was revealedG601, thatG3754 notG3756 unto themselvesG1438, butG1161 unto usG2254 they did ministerG1247 the thingsG846, whichG3739 areG312 nowG3568 reportedG312 unto youG5213 byG1223 them that have preached the gospelG2097 unto youG5209 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 sent downG649 fromG575 heavenG3772; which thingsG3739 the angelsG32 desireG1937 to lookG3879 intoG1519.
WhereforeG1352 gird upG328 the loinsG3751 of yourG5216 mindG1271, be soberG3525, and hopeG1679 to the endG5049 forG1909 the graceG5485 that is to be broughtG5342 unto youG5213 atG1722 the revelationG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547; {to the end: Gr. perfectly}
AsG5613 obedientG5218 childrenG5043, notG3361 fashioning yourselves according toG4964 the formerG4386 lustsG1939 inG1722 yourG5216 ignoranceG52:
ButG235 asG2596 he which hath calledG2564 youG5209 is holyG40, soG2532 beG1096 yeG846 holyG40 inG1722 allG3956 manner of conversationG391;
BecauseG1360 it is writtenG1125, Be yeG1096 holyG40; forG3754 IG1473 amG1510 holyG40.
AndG2532 ifG1487 ye call onG1941 the FatherG3962, whoG3588 without respect of personsG678 judgethG2919 according toG2596 every man'sG1538 workG2041, passG390 the timeG5550 of yourG5216 sojourningG3940 here inG1722 fearG5401:
Forasmuch as ye knowG1492 thatG3754 ye wereG3084 notG3756 redeemedG3084 with corruptible thingsG5349, as silverG694 andG2228 goldG5553, fromG1537 yourG5216 vainG3152 conversationG391 received by tradition from your fathersG3970;
ButG235 with the preciousG5093 bloodG129 of ChristG5547, asG5613 of a lambG286 without blemishG299 andG2532 without spotG784:
Who verilyG3303 was foreordainedG4267 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, butG1161 was manifestG5319 inG1909 these lastG2078 timesG5550 forG1223 youG5209,
WhoG3588 byG1223 himG846 do believeG4100 inG1519 GodG2316, that raisedG1453 himG846 upG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 gaveG1325 himG846 gloryG1391; thatG5620 yourG5216 faithG4102 andG2532 hopeG1680 might beG1511 inG1519 GodG2316.
Seeing ye have purifiedG48 yourG5216 soulsG5590 inG1722 obeyingG5218 the truthG225 throughG1223 the SpiritG4151 untoG1519 unfeignedG505 love of the brethrenG5360, see that ye loveG25 one anotherG240 withG1537 a pureG2513 heartG2588 ferventlyG1619:
Being born againG313, notG3756 ofG1537 corruptibleG5349 seedG4701, butG235 of incorruptibleG862, byG1223 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, which livethG2198 andG2532 abidethG3306 forG1519 everG165.
ForG1360 allG3956 fleshG4561 is asG5613 grassG5528, andG2532 allG3956 the gloryG1391 of manG444 asG5613 the flowerG438 of grassG5528. The grassG5528 witherethG3583, andG2532 the flowerG438 thereofG846 falleth awayG1601: {For: or, For that}
ButG1161 the wordG4487 of the LordG2962 endurethG3306 forG1519 everG165. AndG1161 thisG5124 isG2076 the wordG4487 whichG3588 by the gospel is preachedG2097 untoG1519 youG5209.

BelovedG27, think itG3579 notG3361 strangeG3579 concerning theG5213 fiery trialG4451 whichG1722 isG1096 toG4314 tryG3986 youG5213, asG5613 though some strange thingG3581 happenedG4819 unto youG5213:
ToG4314 whomG3739 comingG4334, as unto a livingG2198 stoneG3037, disallowedG593 indeedG3303 ofG5259 menG444, butG1161 chosenG1588 ofG3844 GodG2316, and preciousG1784,

Wherefore the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saithH5002, I saidH559 indeedH559 that thy houseH1004, and the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, should walkH1980 beforeH6440 me forH5704 everH5769: but now the LORDH3068 saithH5002, Be it far from meH2486; for them that honourH3513 me I will honourH3513, and they that despiseH959 me shall be lightly esteemedH7043.
WhoG3588 are keptG5432 byG1722 the powerG1411 of GodG2316 throughG1223 faithG4102 untoG1519 salvationG4991 readyG2092 to be revealedG601 inG1722 the lastG2078 timeG2540.
But he knowethH3045 the wayH1870 that I takeH5978: when he hath triedH974 me, I shall come forthH3318 as goldH2091. {that…: Heb. that is with me}
Unto youG5213 thereforeG3767 whichG3588 believeG4100 he is preciousG5092: butG1161 unto them which be disobedientG544, the stoneG3037 whichG3739 the buildersG3618 disallowedG593, the sameG3778 is madeG1096+G1519 the headG2776 of the cornerG1137, {precious: or, an honour}
Therefore mine heartH3820 shall soundH1993 for MoabH4124 like pipesH2485, and mine heartH3820 shall soundH1993 like pipesH2485 for the menH582 of KirheresH7025: because the richesH3502 that he hath gottenH6213 are perishedH6.

AndG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 yeG5210 whichG3588 have followedG190 meG3427, inG1722 the regenerationG3824 whenG3752 the SonG5207 of manG444 shall sitG2523 inG1909 the throneG2362 of hisG846 gloryG1391, yeG5210 alsoG2532 shall sitG2523 uponG1909 twelveG1427 thronesG2362, judgingG2919 the twelveG1427 tribesG5443 of IsraelG2474.
BeholdG2400, he comethG2064 withG3326 cloudsG3507; andG2532 everyG3956 eyeG3788 shall seeG3700 himG846, andG2532 they also whichG3748 piercedG1574 himG846: andG2532 allG3956 kindredsG5443 of the earthG1093 shall wailG2875 becauseG1909 of himG846. Even soG3483, AmenG281.
For thou, O GodH430, hast provedH974 us: thou hast triedH6884 us, as silverH3701 is triedH6884.
Thou broughtestH935 us into the netH4686; thou laidstH7760 afflictionH4157 upon our loinsH4975.
Thou hast caused menH582 to rideH7392 over our headsH7218; we wentH935 through fireH784 and through waterH4325: but thou broughtest us outH3318 into a wealthyH7310 place. {wealthy: Heb. moist}
HappyH835 is the manH120 that findethH4672 wisdomH2451, and the manH120 that gettethH6329 understandingH8394. {that getteth…: Heb. that draweth out understanding}
For the merchandiseH5504 of it is betterH2896 than the merchandiseH5505 of silverH3701, and the gainH8393 thereof than fine goldH2742.
She is more preciousH3368 than rubiesH6443: and all the things thou canst desireH2656 are not to be comparedH7737 unto her.
ButG1161 GodG2316 saidG2036 unto himG846, Thou foolG878, thisG5026 nightG3571 thyG4675 soulG5590 shall be requiredG523 ofG575 theeG4675: thenG1161 whoseG5101 shall those things beG2071, whichG3739 thou hast providedG2090? {thy…: Gr. do they require thy soul}
HisG846 lordG2962 saidG5346 unto himG846, Well doneG2095, thou goodG18 andG2532 faithfulG4103 servantG1401: thou hast beenG2258 faithfulG4103 overG1909 a few thingsG3641, I will makeG2525 theeG4571 rulerG2525 overG1909 many thingsG4183: enter thouG1525 intoG1519 the joyG5479 of thyG4675 lordG2962.
The fining potH4715 is for silverH3701, and the furnaceH3564 for goldH2091: but the LORDH3068 triethH974 the heartsH3826.
My fruitH6529 is betterH2896 than goldH2742, yea, than fine goldH6337; and my revenueH8393 than choiceH977 silverH3701.
SoG3779 is he that layeth up treasureG2343 for himselfG1438, andG2532 isG4147 notG3361 richG4147 towardG1519 GodG2316.
The fining potH4715 is for silverH3701, and the furnaceH3564 for goldH2091: but the LORDH3068 triethH974 the heartsH3826.
HisG846 lordG2962 saidG5346 unto himG846, Well doneG2095, goodG18 andG2532 faithfulG4103 servantG1401; thou hast beenG2258 faithfulG4103 overG1909 a few thingsG3641, I will makeG2525 theeG4571 rulerG2525 overG1909 many thingsG4183: enter thouG1525 intoG1519 the joyG5479 of thyG4675 lordG2962.
Behold, I have refinedH6884 thee, but not with silverH3701; I have chosenH977 thee in the furnaceH3564 of afflictionH6040. {with…: or, for silver}
How much betterH2896 is it to getH7069 wisdomH2451 than goldH2742! and to getH7069 understandingH998 rather to be chosenH977 than silverH3701!
SellG4453 that yeG5216 haveG5224, andG2532 giveG1325 almsG1654; provideG4160 yourselvesG1438 bagsG905 which waxG3822 notG3361 oldG3822, a treasureG2344 inG1722 the heavensG3772 that faileth notG413, whereG3699 noG3756 thiefG2812 approachethG1448, neitherG3761 mothG4597 corruptethG1311.
Behold, I have refinedH6884 thee, but not with silverH3701; I have chosenH977 thee in the furnaceH3564 of afflictionH6040. {with…: or, for silver}

Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Behold, I will meltH6884 them, and tryH974 them; for how shall I doH6213 forH6440 the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971?
SimonG4826 PeterG4074, a servantG1401 andG2532 an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to them that have obtainedG2975 like preciousG2472 faithG4102 with usG2254 throughG1722 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 andG2532 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: {Simon: or, Symeon} {God…: Gr. of our God and Saviour}
ButG1161 PeterG4074 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, ThyG4675 moneyG694 perishG1498+G1519+G684 withG4862 theeG4671, becauseG3754 thou hast thoughtG3543 that the giftG1431 of GodG2316 may be purchasedG2932 withG1223 moneyG5536.
And I will bringH935 the third partH7992 through the fireH784, and will refineH6884 them as silverH3701 is refinedH6884, and will tryH974 them as goldH2091 is triedH974: they shall callH7121 on my nameH8034, and I will hearH6030 them: I will sayH559, It is my peopleH5971: and they shall sayH559, The LORDH3068 is my GodH430.
IfG1437 any manG5100 serveG1247 meG1698, let him followG190 meG1698; andG2532 whereG3699 IG1473 amG1510, thereG1563 shallG2071 alsoG2532 myG1699 servantG1249 beG2071+G2532: ifG1437 any manG5100 serveG1247 meG1698, himG846 willG5091 my FatherG3962 honourG5091.
And I will bringH935 the third partH7992 through the fireH784, and will refineH6884 them as silverH3701 is refinedH6884, and will tryH974 them as goldH2091 is triedH974: they shall callH7121 on my nameH8034, and I will hearH6030 them: I will sayH559, It is my peopleH5971: and they shall sayH559, The LORDH3068 is my GodH430.
WherebyG1223+G3739 are givenG1433 unto usG2254 exceeding greatG3176 andG2532 preciousG5093 promisesG1862: thatG2443 byG1223 theseG5130 ye might beG1096 partakersG2844 of the divineG2304 natureG5449, having escapedG668 the corruptionG5356 that is inG1722 the worldG2889 throughG1722 lustG1939.
Every man'sG1538 workG2041 shall be madeG1096 manifestG5318: forG1063 the dayG2250 shall declareG1213 it, becauseG3754 it shall be revealedG601 byG1722 fireG4442; andG2532 the fireG4442 shall tryG1381 every man'sG1538 workG2041 of what sortG3697 it isG2076. {it shall be: Gr. it is}
To them who byG3303+G2596 patient continuanceG5281 in wellG18 doingG2041 seekG2212 for gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092 andG2532 immortalityG861, eternalG166 lifeG2222:
And he shall sitH3427 as a refinerH6884 and purifierH2891 of silverH3701: and he shall purifyH2891 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878, and purgeH2212 them as goldH2091 and silverH3701, that they may offerH5066 unto the LORDH3068 an offeringH4503 in righteousnessH6666.
YourG5216 goldG5557 andG2532 silverG696 is cankeredG2728; andG2532 the rustG2447 of themG846 shall beG2071 a witnessG3142 againstG1519 youG5213, andG2532 shall eatG5315 yourG5216 fleshG4561 as it wereG5613 fireG4442. Ye have heaped treasure togetherG2343 forG1722 the lastG2078 daysG2250.
I counselG4823 theeG4671 to buyG59 ofG3844 meG1700 goldG5553 triedG4448 inG1537 the fireG4442, thatG2443 thou mayest be richG4147; andG2532 whiteG3022 raimentG2440, thatG2443 thou mayest be clothedG4016, andG2532 that the shameG152 of thyG4675 nakednessG1132 doG5319 notG3361 appearG5319; andG2532 anointG1472 thineG4675 eyesG3788 with eyesalveG2854, thatG2443 thou mayest seeG991.
ButG235 he is a JewG2453, which is one inwardlyG1722+G2927; andG2532 circumcisionG4061 is that of the heartG2588, inG1722 the spiritG4151, and notG3756 in the letterG1121; whoseG3739 praiseG1868 is notG3756 ofG1537 menG444, butG235 ofG1537 GodG2316.
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 so, butG235 we gloryG2744 inG1722 tribulationsG2347 alsoG2532: knowingG1492 thatG3754 tribulationG2347 workethG2716 patienceG5281;
ButG1161 the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 will comeG2240 asG5613 a thiefG2812 inG1722 the nightG3571; inG1722 the whichG3739 the heavensG3772 shall pass awayG3928 with a great noiseG4500, andG1161 the elementsG4747 shall meltG3089 with fervent heatG2741, the earthG1093 alsoG2532 andG2532 the worksG2041 that are thereinG1722+G846 shall be burned upG2618.
Seeing thenG3767 that allG3956 these thingsG5130 shall be dissolvedG3089, what mannerG4217 of persons oughtG1163 yeG5209 to beG5225 inG1722 all holyG40 conversationG391 andG2532 godlinessG2150,
Looking forG4328 andG2532 hastingG4692 unto the comingG3952 of the dayG2250 of GodG2316, whereinG1223+G3739 the heavensG3772 being on fireG4448 shall be dissolvedG3089, andG2532 the elementsG4747 shall meltG5080 with fervent heatG2741? {hasting…: or, hasting the coming}
ThereforeG5620 judgeG2919 nothingG3361+G5100 beforeG4253 the timeG2540, untilG2193+G302 the LordG2962 comeG2064, whoG3739 bothG2532 will bring to lightG5461 the hidden thingsG2927 of darknessG4655, andG2532 will make manifestG5319 the counselsG1012 of the heartsG2588: andG2532 thenG5119 shall every manG1538 haveG1096 praiseG1868 ofG575 GodG2316.
AndG2532 sayingG3004, AlasG3759, alasG3759, that greatG3173 cityG4172, that was clothed inG4016 fine linenG1039, andG2532 purpleG4210, andG2532 scarletG2847, andG2532 deckedG5558 withG1722 goldG5557, andG2532 preciousG5093 stonesG3037, andG2532 pearlsG3135!
AndG2532 to youG5213 who are troubledG2346 restG425 withG3326 usG2257, whenG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 shall be revealedG602 fromG575 heavenG3772 withG3326 hisG846 mightyG1411 angelsG32, {his…: Gr. the angels of his power}
InG1722 flamingG5395 fireG4442 takingG1325 vengeanceG1557 on them that knowG1492 notG3361 GodG2316, andG2532 that obeyG5219 notG3361 the gospelG2098 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: {taking: or, yielding}
WhoG3748 shall be punishedG1349+G5099 with everlastingG166 destructionG3639 fromG575 the presenceG4383 of the LordG2962, andG2532 fromG575 the gloryG1391 of hisG846 powerG2479;
WhenG3752 he shall comeG2064 to be glorifiedG1740 inG1722 hisG846 saintsG40, andG2532 to be admiredG2296 inG1722 allG3956 them that believeG4100 (becauseG3754 ourG2257 testimonyG3142 amongG1909 youG5209 was believedG4100) inG1722 thatG1565 dayG2250.
WhereforeG1519+G3739 alsoG2532 we prayG4336 alwaysG3842 forG4012 youG5216, thatG2443 ourG2257 GodG2316 would countG515 youG5209 worthyG515 of this callingG2821, andG2532 fulfilG4137 allG3956 the good pleasureG2107 of his goodnessG19, andG2532 the workG2041 of faithG4102 withG1722 powerG1411: {count: or, vouchsafe}
ThatG3704 the nameG3686 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 may be glorifiedG1740 inG1722 youG5213, andG2532 yeG5210 inG1722 himG846, according toG2596 the graceG5485 of ourG2257 GodG2316 andG2532 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
ForG3754 in oneG3391 hourG5610 so greatG5118 richesG4149 is come to noughtG2049. AndG2532 everyG3956 shipmasterG2942, andG2532 allG3956 the companyG3658 inG1909 shipsG4143, andG2532 sailorsG3492, andG2532 as many asG3745 tradeG2038 by seaG2281, stoodG2476 afarG3113 offG575,
NowG1161 unto him that is ableG1410 to keepG5442 youG5209+G846 from fallingG679, andG2532 to presentG2476 you faultlessG299 before the presenceG2714 of hisG846 gloryG1391 withG1722 exceeding joyG20,
ButG1161 letG2192 patienceG5281 haveG2192 her perfectG5046 workG2041, thatG2443 ye may beG5600 perfectG5046 andG2532 entireG3648, wantingG3007 nothingG1722+G3367.
BlessedG3107 is the manG435 thatG3739 endurethG5278 temptationG3986: forG3754 when he is triedG1384+G1096, he shall receiveG2983 the crownG4735 of lifeG2222, whichG3739 the LordG2962 hath promisedG1861 to them that loveG25 himG846.
FearG5399 noneG3367 of those things whichG3739 thou shaltG3195 sufferG3958: beholdG2400, the devilG1228 shallG3195 castG906 some ofG1537 youG5216 intoG1519 prisonG5438, thatG2443 ye may be triedG3985; andG2532 ye shall haveG2192 tribulationG2347 tenG1176 daysG2250: be thouG1096 faithfulG4103 untoG891 deathG2288, andG2532 I will giveG1325 theeG4671 a crownG4735 of lifeG2222.
