1PeterG4074, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to the electG1588 who are sojourners of the DispersionG1290 in PontusG4195, GalatiaG1053, CappadociaG2587, AsiaG773, and BithyniaG978, 2accordingG2596 to the foreknowledgeG4268 of GodG2316 the FatherG3962, in sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151, unto obedienceG5218 and sprinkling of the bloodG129 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547: GraceG5485 to you and peaceG1515 be multipliedG4129.

3Blessedbethe GodG2316 and FatherG3962 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, who accordingG2596 to his greatG4183 mercyG1656 begat us againG313 unto a livingG2198 hopeG1680 by the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 from the deadG3498, 4unto an inheritanceG2817 incorruptible, and undefiledG283, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heavenG3772 for you, 5who by the powerG1411 of GodG2316 are guarded through faithG4102 unto a salvationG4991 readyG2092 to be revealedG601 in the lastG2078 timeG2540. 6Wherein ye greatly rejoiceG21, though nowG737 for a littleG3641 while, if need be, ye have been put to grief in manifold trialsG3986, 7that the proof of your faithG4102, being more preciousG4186 than goldG5553 that perisheth though it is proved by fireG4442, may be foundG2147 unto praiseG1868 and gloryG1391 and honorG5092 at the revelationG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547: 8whom not having seenG3708 ye loveG25; on whom, though nowG1161 ye seeG3708 him not, yet believingG4100, ye rejoiceG21 greatly with joyG5479 unspeakable and full of glory: 9receivingG2865 the endG5056 of your faithG4102, even the salvationG4991 of your soulsG5590. 10ConcerningG4012 which salvationG4991 the prophetsG4396 sought and searched diligently, who prophesiedG4395 of the graceG5485 that should come unto you: 11searching what timeG2540 or what manner of timeG2540 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547 which was in them did point unto, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of ChristG5547, and the gloriesG1391 that should follow them. 12To whom it was revealedG601, that not unto themselves, but unto you, did they ministerG1247 these thingsG3739, which nowG1161 have been announced unto you through them that preached the gospel unto you by the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 sentG649 forthG649 from heavenG3772; which thingsG3739 angelsG32 desireG1937 to look into.

13Wherefore girding up the loinsG3751 of your mindG1271, be soberG3525 and set your hopeG1679 perfectly on the graceG5485 that is to be broughtG5342 unto you at the revelationG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547; 14as childrenG5043 of obedienceG5218, not fashioning yourselvesG4771 according to your formerG4387 lustsG1939 in the time of your ignoranceG52: 15but like as he who calledG2564 you is holyG40, be ye yourselves alsoG2532 holyG40 in all mannerG391 of living; 16because it isG1510 writtenG1125, Ye shall beG1510 holyG40; for I amG1510 holyG40. 17And if ye callG1941 on him as FatherG3962, who without respectG5401 of persons judgeth accordingG2596 to each man’sG1538 workG2041, pass the timeG5550 of your sojourning in fearG5401: 18knowing that ye were redeemedG3084, not with corruptible things, with silverG694 or goldG5553, from your vain mannerG391 of lifeG391 handed down from your fathers; 19but with preciousG5093 bloodG129, as of a lambG286 without blemish and without spot, evenG2532 the bloodG129 of ChristG5547: 20who was foreknown indeedG3303 before the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, but was manifestedG5319 at the end of the timesG5550 for your sakeG1223, 21who through him areG1510 believersG4103 in GodG2316, that raisedG1453 him from the deadG3498, and gaveG1325 him gloryG1391; so that your faithG4102 and hopeG1680 might beG1510 in GodG2316. 22Seeing ye have purifiedG48 your soulsG5590 in your obedienceG5218 to the truthG225 unto unfeigned loveG25 of the brethren, loveG25 oneG240 another from the heartG2588 ferventlyG1619: 23having been begotten againG313, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the wordG3056 of GodG2316, which liveth and abideth. 24For,

And this isG1510 the word of good tidings which wasG1510 preached unto you.
