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.

And I will putH7896 enmityH342 between thee and the womanH802, and between thy seedH2233 and her seedH2233; it shall bruiseH7779 thy headH7218, and thou shalt bruiseH7779 his heelH6119.
YeG5210 areG2075 the childrenG5207 of the prophetsG4396, andG2532 of the covenantG1242 whichG3739 GodG2316 madeG1303 withG4314 ourG2257 fathersG3962, sayingG3004 untoG4314 AbrahamG11, AndG2532 in thyG4675 seedG4690 shallG1757 allG3956 the kindredsG3965 of the earthG1093 be blessedG1757.
ButG1161 whenG3753 the fulnessG4138 of the timeG5550 was comeG2064, GodG2316 sent forthG1821 hisG846 SonG5207, madeG1096 ofG1537 a womanG1135, madeG1096 underG5259 the lawG3551,
Unto youG5213 firstG4412 GodG2316, having raised upG450 hisG846 SonG3816 JesusG2424, sentG649 himG846 to blessG2127 youG5209, inG1722 turning awayG654 every oneG1538 of youG5216 fromG575 his iniquitiesG4189.
That inG1519 the dispensationG3622 of the fulnessG4138 of timesG2540 he might gather together in oneG346 all thingsG3956 inG1722 ChristG5547, bothG5037 whichG3588 are inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 whichG3588 are onG1909 earthG1093; even inG1722 himG846: {heaven: Gr. the heavens}
But thou, BethlehemH1035 EphratahH672, though thou be littleH6810 among the thousandsH505 of JudahH3063, yet out of thee shall he come forthH3318 unto me that is to be rulerH4910 in IsraelH3478; whose goings forthH4163 have been from of oldH6924, from everlastingH3117+H5769. {everlasting: Heb. the days of eternity}
Even the mysteryG3466 whichG3588 hath been hidG613 fromG575 agesG165 andG2532 fromG575 generationsG1074, butG1161 nowG3570 is made manifestG5319 to hisG846 saintsG40:
HathG2980 inG1909 theseG5130 lastG2078 daysG2250 spokenG2980 unto usG2254 byG1722 his SonG5207, whomG3739 he hath appointedG5087 heirG2818 of all thingsG3956, byG1223 whomG3739 alsoG2532 he madeG4160 the worldsG165;
WhomG3739 GodG2316 hath set forthG4388 to be a propitiationG2435 throughG1223 faithG4102 inG1722 hisG846 bloodG129, toG1519 declareG1732 hisG846 righteousnessG1343 forG1223 the remissionG3929 of sinsG265 that are pastG4266, throughG1722 the forbearanceG463 of GodG2316; {set forth: or, foreordained} {remission: or, passing over}
(ForG2532 the lifeG2222 was manifestedG5319, andG2532 we have seenG3708 it, andG2532 bear witnessG3140, andG2532 shewG518 unto youG5213 that eternalG166 lifeG2222, whichG3748 wasG2258 withG4314 the FatherG3962, andG2532 was manifestedG5319 unto usG2254;)
For thenG1893 mustG1163 heG846 oftenG4178 have sufferedG3958 sinceG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889: butG1161 nowG3568 onceG530 inG1909 the endG4930 of the worldG165 hath he appearedG5319 toG1519 put awayG115 sinG266 byG1223 the sacrificeG2378 of himselfG846.
NowG1161 to him that is of powerG1410 to stablishG4741 youG5209 accordingG2596 to myG3450 gospelG2098, andG2532 the preachingG2782 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, accordingG2596 to the revelationG602 of the mysteryG3466, which was kept secretG4601 since the world beganG5550+G166,
AndG2532 ye knowG1492 thatG3754 heG1565 was manifestedG5319 toG2443 take awayG142 ourG2257 sinsG266; andG2532 inG1722 himG846 isG2076 noG3756 sinG266.
ButG1161 nowG3568 is made manifestG5319, andG5037 byG1223 the scripturesG1124 of the prophetsG4397, accordingG2596 to the commandmentG2003 of the everlastingG166 GodG2316, made knownG1107 toG1519 allG3956 nationsG1484 forG1519 the obedienceG5218 of faithG4102:
He that committethG4160 sinG266 isG2076 ofG1537 the devilG1228; forG3754 the devilG1228 sinnethG264 fromG575 the beginningG746. ForG1519 this purposeG5124 the SonG5207 of GodG2316 was manifestedG5319, thatG2443 he might destroyG3089 the worksG2041 of the devilG1228.
According asG2531 he hath chosenG1586 usG2248 inG1722 himG846 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, that weG2248 should beG1511 holyG40 andG2532 without blameG299 beforeG2714 himG846 inG1722 loveG26:
InG1722 thisG5129 was manifestedG5319 the loveG26 of GodG2316 towardG1722 usG2254, becauseG3754 that GodG2316 sentG649 hisG846 only begottenG3439 SonG5207 intoG1519 the worldG2889, thatG2443 we might liveG2198 throughG1223 himG846.
AndG2532 to makeG5461 allG3956 men seeG5461 whatG5101 is the fellowshipG2842 of the mysteryG3466, whichG3588 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165 hath been hidG613 inG1722 GodG2316, whoG3588 createdG2936 all thingsG3956 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
HereinG1722+G5129 isG2076 loveG26, notG3754 thatG3756 weG2249 lovedG25 GodG2316, butG235 thatG3754 heG846 lovedG25 usG2248, andG2532 sentG649 hisG846 SonG5207 to be the propitiationG2434 forG4012 ourG2257 sinsG266.
According toG2596 the eternalG165 purposeG4286 whichG3739 he purposedG4160 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962:
Even the mysteryG3466 whichG3588 hath been hidG613 fromG575 agesG165 andG2532 fromG575 generationsG1074, butG1161 nowG3570 is made manifestG5319 to hisG846 saintsG40:
WhoG3588 hath savedG4982 usG2248, andG2532 calledG2564 us with an holyG40 callingG2821, notG3756 according toG2596 ourG2257 worksG2041, butG235 according toG2596 his ownG2398 purposeG4286 andG2532 graceG5485, whichG3588 was givenG1325 usG2254 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 beforeG4253 the world beganG5550+G166,
ButG1161 isG5319 nowG3568 made manifestG5319 byG1223 the appearingG2015 of ourG2257 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whoG3303 hath abolishedG2673 deathG2288, andG1161 hath broughtG5461 lifeG2222 andG2532 immortalityG861 to lightG5461 throughG1223 the gospelG2098:
InG1909 hopeG1680 of eternalG166 lifeG2222, whichG3739 GodG2316, that cannot lieG893, promisedG1861 beforeG4253 the worldG166 beganG5550; {In: or, For}
