1Pt:01.01 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered
          throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

1Pt:01.02 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.

1Pt:01.03 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,

1Pt:01.04 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that
          fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

1Pt:01.05 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation
          ready to be revealed in the last time.

1Pt:01.06 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need
          be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

1Pt:01.07 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:

1Pt:01.08 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:

1Pt:01.09 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your
          souls.

1Pt:01.10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched
          diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto
          you:

1Pt:01.11 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.

1Pt:01.12 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.

1Pt:01.13 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;

1Pt:01.14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to
          the former lusts in your ignorance:

1Pt:01.15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all
          manner of conversation;

1Pt:01.16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

1Pt:01.17 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:

1Pt:01.18 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;

1Pt:01.19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without
          blemish and without spot:

1Pt:01.20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the
          world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

1Pt:01.21 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.

1Pt:01.22 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:

1Pt:01.23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of
          incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth
          for ever.

1Pt:01.24 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:

1Pt:01.25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the
          word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

1Pt:02.01 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and
          hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings,

1Pt:02.02 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye
          may grow thereby:

1Pt:02.03 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

1Pt:02.04 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of
          men, but chosen of God, and precious,

1Pt:02.05 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an
          holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable
          to God by Jesus Christ.

1Pt:02.06 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay
          in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that
          believeth on him shall not be confounded.

1Pt:02.07 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them
          which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed,
          the same is made the head of the corner,

1Pt:02.08 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them
          which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also
          they were appointed.

1Pt:02.09 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy
          nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the
          praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his
          marvellous light;

1Pt:02.10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people
          of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained
          mercy.

1Pt:02.11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims,
          abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

1Pt:02.12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that,
          whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your
          good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of
          visitation.

1Pt:02.13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's
          sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

1Pt:02.14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the
          punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do
          well.

1Pt:02.15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to
          silence the ignorance of foolish men:

1Pt:02.16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of
          maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

1Pt:02.17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the
          king.

1Pt:02.18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only
          to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

1Pt:02.19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God
          endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

1Pt:02.20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults,
          ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and
          suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with
          God.

1Pt:02.21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered
          for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his
          steps:

1Pt:02.22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

1Pt:02.23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered,
          he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth
          righteously:

1Pt:02.24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree,
          that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness:
          by whose stripes ye were healed.

1Pt:02.25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto
          the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

1Pt:03.01 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands;
          that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word
          be won by the conversation of the wives;

1Pt:03.02 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

1Pt:03.03 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting
          the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

1Pt:03.04 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is
          not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit,
          which is in the sight of God of great price.

1Pt:03.05 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who
          trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto
          their own husbands:

1Pt:03.06 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters
          ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any
          amazement.

1Pt:03.07 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge,
          giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as
          being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers
          be not hindered.

1Pt:03.08 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of
          another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

1Pt:03.09 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but
          contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called,
          that ye should inherit a blessing.

1Pt:03.10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain
          his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

1Pt:03.11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and
          ensue it.

1Pt:03.12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears
          are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is
          against them that do evil.

1Pt:03.13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that
          which is good?

1Pt:03.14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye:
          and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

1Pt:03.15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always
          to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the
          hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

1Pt:03.16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of
          you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse
          your good conversation in Christ.

1Pt:03.17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for
          well doing, than for evil doing.

1Pt:03.18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the
          unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in
          the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

1Pt:03.19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;

1Pt:03.20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering
          of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a
          preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by
          water.

1Pt:03.21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us
          (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the
          answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection
          of Jesus Christ:

1Pt:03.22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God;
          angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

1Pt:04.01 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh,
          arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath
          suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

1Pt:04.02 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the
          flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

1Pt:04.03 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought
          the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness,
          lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable
          idolatries:

1Pt:04.04 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the
          same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:

1Pt:04.05 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick
          and the dead.

1Pt:04.06 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that
          are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the
          flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

1Pt:04.07 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober,
          and watch unto prayer.

1Pt:04.08 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves:
          for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

1Pt:04.09 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.

1Pt:04.10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same
          one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

1Pt:04.11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any
          man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God
          giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus
          Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever.
          Amen.

1Pt:04.12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which
          is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

1Pt:04.13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's
          sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be
          glad also with exceeding joy.

1Pt:04.14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for
          the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part
          he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

1Pt:04.15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as
          an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

1Pt:04.16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed;
          but let him glorify God on this behalf.

1Pt:04.17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of
          God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of
          them that obey not the gospel of God?

1Pt:04.18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the
          ungodly and the sinner appear?

1Pt:04.19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God
          commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as
          unto a faithful Creator.

1Pt:05.01 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder,
          and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker
          of the glory that shall be revealed:

1Pt:05.02 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight
          thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy
          lucre, but of a ready mind;

1Pt:05.03 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being
          ensamples to the flock.

1Pt:05.04 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a
          crown of glory that fadeth not away.

1Pt:05.05 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea,
          all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with
          humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the
          humble.

1Pt:05.06 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that
          he may exalt you in due time:

1Pt:05.07 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

1Pt:05.08 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a
          roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

1Pt:05.09 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same
          afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the
          world.

1Pt:05.10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal
          glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while,
          make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

1Pt:05.11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

1Pt:05.12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have
          written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the
          true grace of God wherein ye stand.

1Pt:05.13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you,
          saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.

1Pt:05.14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you
          all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
