9ButG1161 yeG4771 are a chosenG1588 generationG1085, a royalG934 priesthoodG2406, an holyG40 nationG1484, a peculiarG4047 peopleG2992; thatG3704 ye should shew forthG1804 the praisesG3588G703 of him who hath calledG2564 youG4771 out ofG1537 darknessG4655 intoG1519 hisG846 marvellousG2298 lightG5457:

10WhichG3588 in time pastG4218 were notG3756 a peopleG2992, butG1161 are nowG3568 the peopleG2992 of GodG2316: whichG3588 hadG1653 notG3756 obtained mercyG1653, butG1161 nowG3568 have obtained mercyG1653.

11Dearly belovedG27, I beseechG3870 you asG5613 strangersG3941 andG2532 pilgrimsG3927, abstainG568 from fleshlyG4559 lustsG1939, whichG3748 warG4754 againstG2596 the soulG3588G5590;

12HavingG2192 yourG4771 conversationG3588G391 honestG2570 amongG1722 the GentilesG3588G1484: thatG2443, whereasG1722 they speak againstG2635 youG4771 asG5613 evildoersG2555, they mayG1392 byG1537 your goodG2570 worksG2041, which they shall beholdG2029, glorifyG1392 GodG3588G2316 inG1722 the dayG2250 of visitationG1984.
