PeterG4074, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to the strangersG3927 scatteredG1290 throughout PontusG4195, GalatiaG1053, CappadociaG2587, AsiaG773, andG2532 BithyniaG978,
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}
The eldersG4245 which are amongG1722 youG5213 I exhortG3870, whoG3588 am also an elderG4850, andG2532 a witnessG3144 of the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547, and alsoG2532 a partakerG2844 of the gloryG1391 that shallG3195 be revealedG601:
ByG1223 SilvanusG4610, a faithfulG4103 brotherG80 unto youG5213, asG5613 I supposeG3049, I have writtenG1125 brieflyG1223+G3641, exhortingG3870, andG2532 testifyingG1957 that thisG5026 isG1511 the trueG227 graceG5485 of GodG2316 whereinG1519+G3739 ye standG2476.
VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, WhenG3753 thou wastG2258 youngG3501, thou girdedstG2224 thyselfG4572, andG2532 walkedstG4043 whitherG3699 thou wouldestG2309: butG1161 whenG3752 thou shalt be oldG1095, thou shalt stretch forthG1614 thyG4675 handsG5495, andG2532 anotherG243 shall girdG2224 theeG4571, andG2532 carryG5342 thee whitherG3699 thou wouldestG2309 notG3756.
PeterG4074, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to the strangersG3927 scatteredG1290 throughout PontusG4195, GalatiaG1053, CappadociaG2587, AsiaG773, andG2532 BithyniaG978,
Dearly belovedG27, I beseechG3870 you asG5613 strangersG3941 andG2532 pilgrimsG3927, abstain fromG567 fleshlyG4559 lustsG1939, whichG3748 warG4754 againstG2596 the soulG5590;
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;
ButG1161 yeG5210 are a chosenG1588 generationG1085, a royalG934 priesthoodG2406, an holyG40 nationG1484, a peculiarG1519+G4047 peopleG2992; thatG3704 ye should shew forthG1804 the praisesG703 of him who hath calledG2564 youG5209 out ofG1537 darknessG4655 intoG1519 hisG846 marvellousG2298 lightG5457: {peculiar: or, purchased} {praises: or, virtues}
WhichG3588 in time pastG4218 were notG3756 a peopleG2992, butG1161 are nowG3568 the peopleG2992 of GodG2316: whichG3588 hadG1653 notG3756 obtained mercyG1653, butG1161 nowG3568 have obtained mercyG1653.
ForG1063 the timeG5550 pastG3928 of our lifeG979 may sufficeG713 usG2254 to have wroughtG2716 the willG2307 of the GentilesG1484, when we walkedG4198 inG1722 lasciviousnessG766, lustsG1939, excess of wineG3632, revellingsG2970, banquetingsG4224, andG2532 abominableG111 idolatriesG1495:
PeterG4074, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to the strangersG3927 scatteredG1290 throughout PontusG4195, GalatiaG1053, CappadociaG2587, AsiaG773, andG2532 BithyniaG978,
The church that is atG1722 BabylonG897, elected together withG4899 you, salutethG782 youG5209; andG2532 so doth MarcusG3138 myG3450 sonG5207.
AndG2532 there followedG190 anotherG243 angelG32, sayingG3004, BabylonG897 is fallenG4098, is fallenG4098, that greatG3173 cityG4172, becauseG3754 she madeG4222 allG3956 nationsG1484 drinkG4222 ofG1537 the wineG3631 of the wrathG2372 of herG846 fornicationG4202.
AndG2532 the greatG3173 cityG4172 was dividedG1096 intoG1519 threeG5140 partsG3313, andG2532 the citiesG4172 of the nationsG1484 fellG4098: andG2532 greatG3173 BabylonG897 came in remembranceG3415 beforeG1799 GodG2316, to giveG1325 unto herG846 the cupG4221 of the wineG3631 of the fiercenessG2372 of hisG846 wrathG3709.
AndG2532 uponG1909 herG846 foreheadG3359 was a nameG3686 writtenG1125, MYSTERYG3466, BABYLONG897 THE GREATG3173, THE MOTHERG3384 OF HARLOTSG4204 ANDG2532 ABOMINATIONSG946 OF THE EARTHG1093. {harlots: or, fornications}
AndG2532 he criedG2896 mightilyG2479 withG1722 a strongG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, BabylonG897 the greatG3173 is fallenG4098, is fallenG4098, andG2532 is becomeG1096 the habitationG2732 of devilsG1142, andG2532 the holdG5438 of everyG3956 foulG169 spiritG4151, andG2532 a cageG5438 of everyG3956 uncleanG169 andG2532 hatefulG3404 birdG3732.
StandingG2476 afarG3113 offG575 forG1223 the fearG5401 of herG846 tormentG929, sayingG3004, AlasG3759, alasG3759, that greatG3173 cityG4172 BabylonG897, that mightyG2478 cityG4172! forG3754 inG1722 oneG3391 hourG5610 isG2064 thyG4675 judgmentG2920 comeG2064.
AndG2532 aG1520 mightyG2478 angelG32 took upG142 a stoneG3037 likeG5613 a greatG3173 millstoneG3458, andG2532 castG906 it intoG1519 the seaG2281, sayingG3004, ThusG3779 with violenceG3731 shallG906 that greatG3173 cityG4172 BabylonG897 be thrown downG906, andG2532 shall be foundG2147 no moreG3364 at allG2089.
The church that is atG1722 BabylonG897, elected together withG4899 you, salutethG782 youG5209; andG2532 so doth MarcusG3138 myG3450 sonG5207.
OnlyG3441 LukeG3065 isG2076 withG3326 meG1700. TakeG353 MarkG3138, and bring himG71 withG3326 theeG4572: forG1063 he isG2076 profitableG2173 to meG3427 forG1519 the ministryG1248.
PeterG4074, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to the strangersG3927 scatteredG1290 throughout PontusG4195, GalatiaG1053, CappadociaG2587, AsiaG773, andG2532 BithyniaG978,
The eldersG4245 which are amongG1722 youG5213 I exhortG3870, whoG3588 am also an elderG4850, andG2532 a witnessG3144 of the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547, and alsoG2532 a partakerG2844 of the gloryG1391 that shallG3195 be revealedG601:
FeedG4165 the flockG4168 of GodG2316 which is amongG1722 youG5213, taking the oversightG1983 thereof, notG3361 by constraintG317, butG235 willinglyG1596; notG3366 for filthy lucreG147, butG235 of a ready mindG4290; {which…: or, as much as in you is}
NeitherG3366 asG5613 being lords overG2634 God's heritageG2819, butG235 beingG1096 ensamplesG5179 to the flockG4168. {being lords over: or, overruling}
AndG2532 when the chief ShepherdG750 shall appearG5319, ye shall receiveG2865 a crownG4735 of gloryG1391 that fadeth not awayG262.
LikewiseG3668, ye youngerG3501, submit yourselvesG5293 unto the elderG4245. YeaG1161, allG3956 of you be subjectG5293 one to anotherG240, and be clothedG1463 with humilityG5012: forG3754 GodG2316 resistethG498 the proudG5244, andG1161 givethG1325 graceG5485 to the humbleG5011.
HavingG2192 yourG5216 conversationG391 honestG2570 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484: thatG2443, whereasG1722+G3739 they speak againstG2635 youG5216 asG5613 evildoersG2555, they mayG1392 byG1537 your goodG2570 worksG2041, which they shall beholdG2029, glorifyG1392 GodG2316 inG1722 the dayG2250 of visitationG1984. {whereas: or, wherein}
Submit yourselvesG5293 to everyG3956 ordinanceG2937 of manG442 forG1223 the Lord's sakeG2962: whether it beG1535 to the kingG935, asG5613 supremeG5242;
OrG1535 unto governorsG2232, asG5613 unto them that are sentG3992 byG1223 himG846 forG1519+G3303 the punishmentG1557 of evildoersG2555, andG1161 for the praiseG1868 of them that do wellG17.
ForG3754 soG3779 isG2076 the willG2307 of GodG2316, that with well doingG15 ye may put to silenceG5392 the ignoranceG56 of foolishG878 menG444:
AsG5613 freeG1658, andG2532 notG3361 usingG2192 your libertyG1657 forG5613 a clokeG1942 of maliciousnessG2549, butG235 asG5613 the servantsG1401 of GodG2316. {using: Gr. having}
HonourG5091 allG3956 men. LoveG25 the brotherhoodG81. FearG5399 GodG2316. HonourG5091 the kingG935. {Honour all: or, Esteem all}
ServantsG3610, be subjectG5293 to your mastersG1203 withG1722 allG3956 fearG5401; notG3756 onlyG3440 to the goodG18 andG2532 gentleG1933, butG235 alsoG2532 to the frowardG4646.
ForG1063 thisG5124 is thankworthyG5485, ifG1487 a manG5100 forG1223 conscienceG4893 toward GodG2316 endureG5297 griefG3077, sufferingG3958 wrongfullyG95. {thankworthy: or, thank}
ForG1063 whatG4169 gloryG2811 is it, ifG1487, whenG2532 ye be buffetedG2852 for your faultsG264, ye shall take it patientlyG5278? butG235 ifG1487, when ye do wellG15, andG2532 sufferG3958 for it, ye take it patientlyG5278, thisG5124 is acceptableG5485 withG3844 GodG2316. {acceptable: or, thank}
ButG235 and ifG1499 ye sufferG3958 forG1223 righteousness' sakeG1343, happyG3107 are ye: andG1161 beG5399 notG3361 afraidG5399 of theirG846 terrorG5401, neitherG3366 be troubledG5015;
ButG1161 sanctifyG37 the LordG2962 GodG2316 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588: andG1161 be readyG2092 alwaysG104 toG4314 give an answerG627 to every manG3956 that askethG154 youG5209 a reasonG3056 ofG4012 the hopeG1680 that is inG1722 youG5213 withG3326 meeknessG4240 andG2532 fearG5401: {fear: or, reverence}
HavingG2192 a goodG18 conscienceG4893; thatG2443, whereasG1722+G3739 they speak evilG2635 of youG5216, asG5613 of evildoersG2555, they may be ashamedG2617 that falsely accuseG1908 yourG5216 goodG18 conversationG391 inG1722 ChristG5547.
ForG1063 it is betterG2909, ifG1487 the willG2307 of GodG2316 be soG2309, that ye sufferG3958 for well doingG15, thanG2228 for evil doingG2554.
WhereinG1722+G3739 they think it strangeG3579 that yeG5216 runG4936 notG3361 with them toG1519 the sameG846 excessG401 of riotG810, speaking evil ofG987 you:
BelovedG27, think itG3579 notG3361 strangeG3579 concerning theG5213 fiery trialG4451 whichG1722 isG1096 toG4314 tryG3986 youG5213, asG5613 though some strange thingG3581 happenedG4819 unto youG5213:
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.
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:

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.
WhereforeG3767 laying asideG659 allG3956 maliceG2549, andG2532 allG3956 guileG1388, andG2532 hypocrisiesG5272, andG2532 enviesG5355, andG2532 allG3956 evil speakingsG2636,
AsG5613 newbornG738 babesG1025, desireG1971 the sincereG97 milkG1051 of the wordG3050, thatG2443 ye may growG837 therebyG1722+G846:
If so beG1512 ye have tastedG1089 thatG3754 the LordG2962 is graciousG5543.
ToG4314 whomG3739 comingG4334, as unto a livingG2198 stoneG3037, disallowedG593 indeedG3303 ofG5259 menG444, butG1161 chosenG1588 ofG3844 GodG2316, and preciousG1784,
YeG846 alsoG2532, asG5613 livelyG2198 stonesG3037, are built upG3618 a spiritualG4152 houseG3624, an holyG40 priesthoodG2406, to offer upG399 spiritualG4152 sacrificesG2378, acceptableG2144 to GodG2316 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. {are: or, be ye}
WhereforeG1352 alsoG2532 it is containedG4023 inG1722 the scriptureG1124, BeholdG2400, I layG5087 inG1722 SionG4622 a chief cornerG204 stoneG3037, electG1588, preciousG1784: andG2532 he that believethG4100 onG1909 himG846 shallG2617 not beG3364 confoundedG2617.
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}
AndG2532 a stoneG3037 of stumblingG4348, andG2532 a rockG4073 of offenceG4625, even to them whichG3739 stumbleG4350 at the wordG3056, being disobedientG544: whereuntoG1519+G3739 alsoG2532 they were appointedG5087.
ButG1161 yeG5210 are a chosenG1588 generationG1085, a royalG934 priesthoodG2406, an holyG40 nationG1484, a peculiarG1519+G4047 peopleG2992; thatG3704 ye should shew forthG1804 the praisesG703 of him who hath calledG2564 youG5209 out ofG1537 darknessG4655 intoG1519 hisG846 marvellousG2298 lightG5457: {peculiar: or, purchased} {praises: or, virtues}
WhichG3588 in time pastG4218 were notG3756 a peopleG2992, butG1161 are nowG3568 the peopleG2992 of GodG2316: whichG3588 hadG1653 notG3756 obtained mercyG1653, butG1161 nowG3568 have obtained mercyG1653.
Dearly belovedG27, I beseechG3870 you asG5613 strangersG3941 andG2532 pilgrimsG3927, abstain fromG567 fleshlyG4559 lustsG1939, whichG3748 warG4754 againstG2596 the soulG5590;
HavingG2192 yourG5216 conversationG391 honestG2570 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484: thatG2443, whereasG1722+G3739 they speak againstG2635 youG5216 asG5613 evildoersG2555, they mayG1392 byG1537 your goodG2570 worksG2041, which they shall beholdG2029, glorifyG1392 GodG2316 inG1722 the dayG2250 of visitationG1984. {whereas: or, wherein}
Submit yourselvesG5293 to everyG3956 ordinanceG2937 of manG442 forG1223 the Lord's sakeG2962: whether it beG1535 to the kingG935, asG5613 supremeG5242;
OrG1535 unto governorsG2232, asG5613 unto them that are sentG3992 byG1223 himG846 forG1519+G3303 the punishmentG1557 of evildoersG2555, andG1161 for the praiseG1868 of them that do wellG17.
ForG3754 soG3779 isG2076 the willG2307 of GodG2316, that with well doingG15 ye may put to silenceG5392 the ignoranceG56 of foolishG878 menG444:
AsG5613 freeG1658, andG2532 notG3361 usingG2192 your libertyG1657 forG5613 a clokeG1942 of maliciousnessG2549, butG235 asG5613 the servantsG1401 of GodG2316. {using: Gr. having}
HonourG5091 allG3956 men. LoveG25 the brotherhoodG81. FearG5399 GodG2316. HonourG5091 the kingG935. {Honour all: or, Esteem all}
ServantsG3610, be subjectG5293 to your mastersG1203 withG1722 allG3956 fearG5401; notG3756 onlyG3440 to the goodG18 andG2532 gentleG1933, butG235 alsoG2532 to the frowardG4646.
ForG1063 thisG5124 is thankworthyG5485, ifG1487 a manG5100 forG1223 conscienceG4893 toward GodG2316 endureG5297 griefG3077, sufferingG3958 wrongfullyG95. {thankworthy: or, thank}
ForG1063 whatG4169 gloryG2811 is it, ifG1487, whenG2532 ye be buffetedG2852 for your faultsG264, ye shall take it patientlyG5278? butG235 ifG1487, when ye do wellG15, andG2532 sufferG3958 for it, ye take it patientlyG5278, thisG5124 is acceptableG5485 withG3844 GodG2316. {acceptable: or, thank}
ForG1063 evenG1519 hereuntoG5124 were ye calledG2564: becauseG3754 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 sufferedG3958 forG5228 usG2257, leavingG5277 usG2254 an exampleG5261, thatG2443 ye should followG1872 hisG846 stepsG2487: {for us: some read, for you}
WhoG3739 didG4160 noG3756 sinG266, neitherG3761 was guileG1388 foundG2147 inG1722 hisG846 mouthG4750:
WhoG3739, when he was reviledG3058, reviledG486 notG3756 againG486; when he sufferedG3958, he threatenedG546 notG3756; butG1161 committedG3860 himself to him that judgethG2919 righteouslyG1346: {himself: or, his cause}
WhoG3739 his own selfG846 bareG399 ourG2257 sinsG266 inG1722 his ownG846 bodyG4983 onG1909 the treeG3586, thatG2443 weG2198, being deadG581 to sinsG266, should liveG2198 unto righteousnessG1343: byG3739 whoseG846 stripesG3468 ye were healedG2390. {on: or, to}
ForG1063 ye wereG2258 asG5613 sheepG4263 going astrayG4105; butG235 areG1994 nowG3568 returnedG1994 untoG1909 the ShepherdG4166 andG2532 BishopG1985 of yourG5216 soulsG5590.
LikewiseG3668, ye wivesG1135, be in subjectionG5293 to your ownG2398 husbandsG435; thatG2443, if anyG1536 obey notG544 the wordG3056, theyG2770 alsoG2532 mayG2770 withoutG427 the wordG3056 be wonG2770 byG1223 the conversationG391 of the wivesG1135;
While they beholdG2029 yourG5216 chasteG53 conversationG391 coupled withG1722 fearG5401.
WhoseG3739 adorningG2889 let itG2077 notG3756 beG2077 that outwardG1855 adorning of plaitingG1708 the hairG2359, andG2532 of wearingG4025 of goldG5553, orG2228 of putting onG1745 of apparelG2440;
ButG235 let it be the hiddenG2927 manG444 of the heartG2588, inG1722 that which is not corruptibleG862, even the ornament of a meekG4239 andG2532 quietG2272 spiritG4151, whichG3739 isG2076 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316 of great priceG4185.
ForG1063 after this mannerG3779 in the old timeG4218 the holyG40 womenG1135 alsoG2532, whoG3588 trustedG1679 inG1909 GodG2316, adornedG2885 themselvesG1438, being in subjectionG5293 unto their ownG2398 husbandsG435:
Even asG5613 SarahG4564 obeyedG5219 AbrahamG11, callingG2564 himG846 lordG2962: whoseG3739 daughtersG5043 ye areG1096, as long as ye do wellG15, andG2532 areG5399 notG3361 afraidG5399 with anyG3367 amazementG4423. {daughters: Gr. children}
LikewiseG3668, ye husbandsG435, dwell withG4924 them according toG2596 knowledgeG1108, givingG632 honourG5092 unto the wifeG1134, asG5613 unto the weakerG772 vesselG4632, andG2532 asG5613 being heirs togetherG4789 of the graceG5485 of lifeG2222; thatG1519 yourG5216 prayersG4335 beG1581 notG3361 hinderedG1581.
FinallyG1161+G5056, be ye allG3956 of one mindG3675, having compassion one of anotherG4835, love as brethrenG5361, be pitifulG2155, be courteousG5391: {love as: or, loving to the}
NotG3361 renderingG591 evilG2556 forG473 evilG2556, orG2228 railingG3059 forG473 railingG3059: butG1161 contrariwiseG5121 blessingG2129; knowingG1492 thatG3754 ye areG2564 thereuntoG1519+G5124 calledG2564, thatG2443 ye should inheritG2816 a blessingG2127.
ForG1063 he that willG2309 loveG25 lifeG2222, andG2532 seeG1492 goodG18 daysG2250, let him refrainG3973 hisG846 tongueG1100 fromG575 evilG2556, andG2532 hisG846 lipsG5491 that they speakG2980 noG3361 guileG1388:
Let him eschewG1578+G575 evilG2556, andG2532 doG4160 goodG18; let him seekG2212 peaceG1515, andG2532 ensueG1377 itG846.
ForG3754 the eyesG3788 of the LordG2962 are overG1909 the righteousG1342, andG2532 hisG846 earsG3775 are open untoG1519 theirG846 prayersG1162: butG1161 the faceG4383 of the LordG2962 is againstG1909 them that doG4160 evilG2556. {against: Gr. upon}
AndG2532 whoG5101 is he that will harmG2559 youG5209, ifG1437 ye beG1096 followersG3402 of that which is goodG18?
ButG235 and ifG1499 ye sufferG3958 forG1223 righteousness' sakeG1343, happyG3107 are ye: andG1161 beG5399 notG3361 afraidG5399 of theirG846 terrorG5401, neitherG3366 be troubledG5015;
ButG1161 sanctifyG37 the LordG2962 GodG2316 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588: andG1161 be readyG2092 alwaysG104 toG4314 give an answerG627 to every manG3956 that askethG154 youG5209 a reasonG3056 ofG4012 the hopeG1680 that is inG1722 youG5213 withG3326 meeknessG4240 andG2532 fearG5401: {fear: or, reverence}
HavingG2192 a goodG18 conscienceG4893; thatG2443, whereasG1722+G3739 they speak evilG2635 of youG5216, asG5613 of evildoersG2555, they may be ashamedG2617 that falsely accuseG1908 yourG5216 goodG18 conversationG391 inG1722 ChristG5547.
ForG1063 it is betterG2909, ifG1487 the willG2307 of GodG2316 be soG2309, that ye sufferG3958 for well doingG15, thanG2228 for evil doingG2554.
ForG3754 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 hath onceG530 sufferedG3958 forG4012 sinsG266, the justG1342 forG5228 the unjustG94, thatG2443 he might bringG4317 usG2248 to GodG2316, being put to deathG2289+G3303 in the fleshG4561, butG1161 quickenedG2227 by the SpiritG4151:
ByG1722 whichG3739 alsoG2532 he wentG4198 and preachedG2784 unto the spiritsG4151 inG1722 prisonG5438;
Which sometimeG4218 were disobedientG544, whenG3753 onceG530 the longsufferingG3115 of GodG2316 waitedG1551 inG1722 the daysG2250 of NoahG3575, while the arkG2787 was a preparingG2680, whereinG1519+G3739 fewG3641, that isG5123, eightG3638 soulsG5590 were savedG1295 byG1223 waterG5204.
The like figureG499 whereuntoG3739 even baptismG908 dothG4982 alsoG2532 nowG3568 saveG4982 usG2248 (notG3756 the putting awayG595 of the filthG4509 of the fleshG4561, butG235 the answerG1906 of a goodG18 conscienceG4893 towardG1519 GodG2316,) byG1223 the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
WhoG3739 is goneG4198 intoG1519 heavenG3772, and isG2076 onG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316; angelsG32 andG2532 authoritiesG1849 andG2532 powersG1411 being made subjectG5293 unto himG846.
Forasmuch then asG3767 ChristG5547 hath sufferedG3958 forG5228 usG2257 in the fleshG4561, armG3695 yourselvesG5210 likewiseG2532 with the sameG846 mindG1771: forG3754 he that hath sufferedG3958 inG1722 the fleshG4561 hath ceasedG3973 from sinG266;
ThatG1519 heG980 no longerG3371 should liveG980 the restG1954 of his timeG5550 inG1722 the fleshG4561 to the lustsG1939 of menG444, butG235 to the willG2307 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 the timeG5550 pastG3928 of our lifeG979 may sufficeG713 usG2254 to have wroughtG2716 the willG2307 of the GentilesG1484, when we walkedG4198 inG1722 lasciviousnessG766, lustsG1939, excess of wineG3632, revellingsG2970, banquetingsG4224, andG2532 abominableG111 idolatriesG1495:
WhereinG1722+G3739 they think it strangeG3579 that yeG5216 runG4936 notG3361 with them toG1519 the sameG846 excessG401 of riotG810, speaking evil ofG987 you:
WhoG3739 shall giveG591 accountG3056 to him that isG2192 readyG2093 to judgeG2919 the quickG2198 andG2532 the deadG3498.
ForG1063 forG1519 this causeG5124 was the gospel preachedG2097 alsoG2532 to them that are deadG3498, thatG2443 they might be judgedG2919+G3303 according toG2596 menG444 in the fleshG4561, butG1161 liveG2198 according toG2596 GodG2316 in the spiritG4151.
ButG1161 the endG5056 of all thingsG3956 is at handG1448: be yeG4993 thereforeG3767 soberG4993, andG2532 watchG3525 untoG1519 prayerG4335.
AndG1161 aboveG4253 all thingsG3956 haveG2192 ferventG1618 charityG26 amongG1519 yourselvesG1438: forG3754 charityG26 shall coverG2572 the multitudeG4128 of sinsG266. {shall: or, will}
Use hospitalityG5382 one to anotherG1519+G240 withoutG427 grudgingG1112.
AsG2531 every manG1538 hath receivedG2983 the giftG5486, even so ministerG1247 the sameG846 one to anotherG1519+G1438, asG5613 goodG2570 stewardsG3623 of the manifoldG4164 graceG5485 of GodG2316.
If any manG1536 speakG2980, let him speak asG5613 the oraclesG3051 of GodG2316; if any manG1536 ministerG1247, let him do it asG5613 ofG1537 the abilityG2479 whichG3739 GodG2316 givethG5524: thatG2443 GodG2316 inG1722 all thingsG3956 may be glorifiedG1392 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to whomG3739 beG2076 praiseG1391 andG2532 dominionG2904 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
BelovedG27, think itG3579 notG3361 strangeG3579 concerning theG5213 fiery trialG4451 whichG1722 isG1096 toG4314 tryG3986 youG5213, asG5613 though some strange thingG3581 happenedG4819 unto youG5213:
ButG235 rejoiceG5463, inasmuch asG2526 ye are partakersG2841 of Christ'sG5547 sufferingsG3804; thatG2443, whenG1722 hisG846 gloryG1391 shall be revealedG602, ye may be gladG5463 alsoG2532 with exceeding joyG21.
IfG1487 ye be reproachedG3679 forG1722 the nameG3686 of ChristG5547, happyG3107 are ye; forG3754 the spiritG4151 of gloryG1391 andG2532 of GodG2316 restethG373 uponG1909 youG5209: onG2596+G3303 their partG846 he is evil spoken ofG987, butG1161 onG2596 your partG5209 he is glorifiedG1392.
ButG1063 letG3958 noneG3361+G5100 of youG5216 sufferG3958 asG5613 a murdererG5406, orG2228 as a thiefG2812, orG2228 as an evildoerG2555, orG2228 asG5613 a busybody in other men's mattersG244.
YetG1161 ifG1487 any man suffer asG5613 a ChristianG5546, let himG153 notG3361 be ashamedG153; butG1161 let him glorifyG1392 GodG2316 onG1722 thisG5129 behalfG3313.
ForG3754 the timeG2540 is come that judgmentG2917 must beginG756 atG575 the houseG3624 of GodG2316: andG1161 ifG1487 it firstG4412 begin atG575 usG2257, whatG5101 shall the endG5056 be of them that obey notG544 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316?
AndG2532 ifG1487 the righteousG1342 scarcelyG3433 be savedG4982, whereG4226 shallG5316 the ungodlyG765 andG2532 the sinnerG268 appearG5316?
WhereforeG5620+G2532 letG3908 them that sufferG3958 according toG2596 the willG2307 of GodG2316 commit the keepingG3908 of theirG1438 soulsG5590 to him inG1722 well doingG16, asG5613 unto a faithfulG4103 CreatorG2939.
The eldersG4245 which are amongG1722 youG5213 I exhortG3870, whoG3588 am also an elderG4850, andG2532 a witnessG3144 of the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547, and alsoG2532 a partakerG2844 of the gloryG1391 that shallG3195 be revealedG601:
FeedG4165 the flockG4168 of GodG2316 which is amongG1722 youG5213, taking the oversightG1983 thereof, notG3361 by constraintG317, butG235 willinglyG1596; notG3366 for filthy lucreG147, butG235 of a ready mindG4290; {which…: or, as much as in you is}
NeitherG3366 asG5613 being lords overG2634 God's heritageG2819, butG235 beingG1096 ensamplesG5179 to the flockG4168. {being lords over: or, overruling}
AndG2532 when the chief ShepherdG750 shall appearG5319, ye shall receiveG2865 a crownG4735 of gloryG1391 that fadeth not awayG262.
LikewiseG3668, ye youngerG3501, submit yourselvesG5293 unto the elderG4245. YeaG1161, allG3956 of you be subjectG5293 one to anotherG240, and be clothedG1463 with humilityG5012: forG3754 GodG2316 resistethG498 the proudG5244, andG1161 givethG1325 graceG5485 to the humbleG5011.
Humble yourselvesG5013 thereforeG3767 underG5259 the mightyG2900 handG5495 of GodG2316, thatG2443 he may exaltG5312 youG5209 inG1722 due timeG2540:
CastingG1977 allG3956 yourG5216 careG3308 uponG1909 himG846; forG3754 heG846 carethG3199 forG4012 youG5216.
Be soberG3525, be vigilantG1127; becauseG3754 yourG5216 adversaryG476 the devilG1228, asG5613 a roaringG5612 lionG3023, walketh aboutG4043, seekingG2212 whomG5101 he may devourG2666:
WhomG3739 resistG436 stedfastG4731 in the faithG4102, knowingG1492 that the sameG846 afflictionsG3804 are accomplishedG2005 in yourG5216 brethrenG81 that are inG1722 the worldG2889.
ButG1161 the GodG2316 of allG3956 graceG5485, whoG3588 hath calledG2564 usG2248 untoG1519 hisG846 eternalG166 gloryG1391 byG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, after that ye have sufferedG3958 a whileG3641+G846, makeG2675 youG5209 perfectG2675, stablishG4741, strengthenG4599, settleG2311 you.
To himG846 be gloryG1391 andG2532 dominionG2904 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
ByG1223 SilvanusG4610, a faithfulG4103 brotherG80 unto youG5213, asG5613 I supposeG3049, I have writtenG1125 brieflyG1223+G3641, exhortingG3870, andG2532 testifyingG1957 that thisG5026 isG1511 the trueG227 graceG5485 of GodG2316 whereinG1519+G3739 ye standG2476.
The church that is atG1722 BabylonG897, elected together withG4899 you, salutethG782 youG5209; andG2532 so doth MarcusG3138 myG3450 sonG5207.
Greet yeG782 one anotherG240 withG1722 a kissG5370 of charityG26. PeaceG1515 be with youG5213 allG3956 that are inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424. AmenG281.
ButG235 rejoiceG5463, inasmuch asG2526 ye are partakersG2841 of Christ'sG5547 sufferingsG3804; thatG2443, whenG1722 hisG846 gloryG1391 shall be revealedG602, ye may be gladG5463 alsoG2532 with exceeding joyG21.
ButG235 with the preciousG5093 bloodG129 of ChristG5547, asG5613 of a lambG286 without blemishG299 andG2532 without spotG784:
WhoG3739 didG4160 noG3756 sinG266, neitherG3761 was guileG1388 foundG2147 inG1722 hisG846 mouthG4750:
Who verilyG3303 was foreordainedG4267 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, butG1161 was manifestG5319 inG1909 these lastG2078 timesG5550 forG1223 youG5209,
According toG2596 the eternalG165 purposeG4286 whichG3739 he purposedG4160 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962:
Who verilyG3303 was foreordainedG4267 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, butG1161 was manifestG5319 inG1909 these lastG2078 timesG5550 forG1223 youG5209,
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:
WhoG3739 his own selfG846 bareG399 ourG2257 sinsG266 inG1722 his ownG846 bodyG4983 onG1909 the treeG3586, thatG2443 weG2198, being deadG581 to sinsG266, should liveG2198 unto righteousnessG1343: byG3739 whoseG846 stripesG3468 ye were healedG2390. {on: or, to}
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}
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.
ForG3754 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 hath onceG530 sufferedG3958 forG4012 sinsG266, the justG1342 forG5228 the unjustG94, thatG2443 he might bringG4317 usG2248 to GodG2316, being put to deathG2289+G3303 in the fleshG4561, butG1161 quickenedG2227 by the SpiritG4151:
The like figureG499 whereuntoG3739 even baptismG908 dothG4982 alsoG2532 nowG3568 saveG4982 usG2248 (notG3756 the putting awayG595 of the filthG4509 of the fleshG4561, butG235 the answerG1906 of a goodG18 conscienceG4893 towardG1519 GodG2316,) byG1223 the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
ByG1722 whichG3739 alsoG2532 he wentG4198 and preachedG2784 unto the spiritsG4151 inG1722 prisonG5438;
Which sometimeG4218 were disobedientG544, whenG3753 onceG530 the longsufferingG3115 of GodG2316 waitedG1551 inG1722 the daysG2250 of NoahG3575, while the arkG2787 was a preparingG2680, whereinG1519+G3739 fewG3641, that isG5123, eightG3638 soulsG5590 were savedG1295 byG1223 waterG5204.
WhoG3739 is goneG4198 intoG1519 heavenG3772, and isG2076 onG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316; angelsG32 andG2532 authoritiesG1849 andG2532 powersG1411 being made subjectG5293 unto himG846.
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:
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}
ButG235 rejoiceG5463, inasmuch asG2526 ye are partakersG2841 of Christ'sG5547 sufferingsG3804; thatG2443, whenG1722 hisG846 gloryG1391 shall be revealedG602, ye may be gladG5463 alsoG2532 with exceeding joyG21.
AndG2532 when the chief ShepherdG750 shall appearG5319, ye shall receiveG2865 a crownG4735 of gloryG1391 that fadeth not awayG262.
WhoG3739 shall giveG591 accountG3056 to him that isG2192 readyG2093 to judgeG2919 the quickG2198 andG2532 the deadG3498.
ButG235 with the preciousG5093 bloodG129 of ChristG5547, asG5613 of a lambG286 without blemishG299 andG2532 without spotG784:
ToG4314 whomG3739 comingG4334, as unto a livingG2198 stoneG3037, disallowedG593 indeedG3303 ofG5259 menG444, butG1161 chosenG1588 ofG3844 GodG2316, and preciousG1784,
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}
AndG2532 a stoneG3037 of stumblingG4348, andG2532 a rockG4073 of offenceG4625, even to them whichG3739 stumbleG4350 at the wordG3056, being disobedientG544: whereuntoG1519+G3739 alsoG2532 they were appointedG5087.
ForG1063 ye wereG2258 asG5613 sheepG4263 going astrayG4105; butG235 areG1994 nowG3568 returnedG1994 untoG1909 the ShepherdG4166 andG2532 BishopG1985 of yourG5216 soulsG5590.
AndG2532 when the chief ShepherdG750 shall appearG5319, ye shall receiveG2865 a crownG4735 of gloryG1391 that fadeth not awayG262.
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}
ButG1161 the wordG4487 of the LordG2962 endurethG3306 forG1519 everG165. AndG1161 thisG5124 isG2076 the wordG4487 whichG3588 by the gospel is preachedG2097 untoG1519 youG5209.
WhereforeG5620+G2532 letG3908 them that sufferG3958 according toG2596 the willG2307 of GodG2316 commit the keepingG3908 of theirG1438 soulsG5590 to him inG1722 well doingG16, asG5613 unto a faithfulG4103 CreatorG2939.
ButG1161 the GodG2316 of allG3956 graceG5485, whoG3588 hath calledG2564 usG2248 untoG1519 hisG846 eternalG166 gloryG1391 byG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, after that ye have sufferedG3958 a whileG3641+G846, makeG2675 youG5209 perfectG2675, stablishG4741, strengthenG4599, settleG2311 you.
AsG5613 obedientG5218 childrenG5043, notG3361 fashioning yourselves according toG4964 the formerG4386 lustsG1939 inG1722 yourG5216 ignoranceG52:
AsG5613 newbornG738 babesG1025, desireG1971 the sincereG97 milkG1051 of the wordG3050, thatG2443 ye may growG837 therebyG1722+G846:
YeG846 alsoG2532, asG5613 livelyG2198 stonesG3037, are built upG3618 a spiritualG4152 houseG3624, an holyG40 priesthoodG2406, to offer upG399 spiritualG4152 sacrificesG2378, acceptableG2144 to GodG2316 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. {are: or, be ye}
Dearly belovedG27, I beseechG3870 you asG5613 strangersG3941 andG2532 pilgrimsG3927, abstain fromG567 fleshlyG4559 lustsG1939, whichG3748 warG4754 againstG2596 the soulG5590;
AsG5613 freeG1658, andG2532 notG3361 usingG2192 your libertyG1657 forG5613 a clokeG1942 of maliciousnessG2549, butG235 asG5613 the servantsG1401 of GodG2316. {using: Gr. having}
AsG2531 every manG1538 hath receivedG2983 the giftG5486, even so ministerG1247 the sameG846 one to anotherG1519+G1438, asG5613 goodG2570 stewardsG3623 of the manifoldG4164 graceG5485 of GodG2316.
YeG846 alsoG2532, asG5613 livelyG2198 stonesG3037, are built upG3618 a spiritualG4152 houseG3624, an holyG40 priesthoodG2406, to offer upG399 spiritualG4152 sacrificesG2378, acceptableG2144 to GodG2316 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. {are: or, be ye}

ButG1161 yeG5210 are a chosenG1588 generationG1085, a royalG934 priesthoodG2406, an holyG40 nationG1484, a peculiarG1519+G4047 peopleG2992; thatG3704 ye should shew forthG1804 the praisesG703 of him who hath calledG2564 youG5209 out ofG1537 darknessG4655 intoG1519 hisG846 marvellousG2298 lightG5457: {peculiar: or, purchased} {praises: or, virtues}

WhichG3588 in time pastG4218 were notG3756 a peopleG2992, butG1161 are nowG3568 the peopleG2992 of GodG2316: whichG3588 hadG1653 notG3756 obtained mercyG1653, butG1161 nowG3568 have obtained mercyG1653.
FeedG4165 the flockG4168 of GodG2316 which is amongG1722 youG5213, taking the oversightG1983 thereof, notG3361 by constraintG317, butG235 willinglyG1596; notG3366 for filthy lucreG147, butG235 of a ready mindG4290; {which…: or, as much as in you is}
