A Living Hope, and a Sure Salvation

11PeterG4074, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547,

To those who resideG3927 as 2aliensG3927, 3scatteredG1290 throughoutG1290 4PontusG4195, 5GalatiaG1053, 6CappadociaG2587, 7AsiaG773, and 8BithyniaG978, 9who are chosenG1588 2accordingG2596 to the 10foreknowledgeG4268 of GodG2316 the FatherG3962, 11by the sanctifyingG38 workG38 of the SpiritG4151, 12to 13obeyG5218 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 and be 14sprinkledG4473 with His bloodG129: 15May graceG5485 and peaceG1515 16be yoursG4771 in the fullestG4129 measureG4129.

317BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 and FatherG3962 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, who 18accordingG2596 to His greatG4183 mercyG1656 19has caused us to be bornG313 againG313 to 20a livingG2198 hopeG1680 throughG1223 the 21resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 from the deadG3498, 4to obtain an 22inheritanceG2817 which is imperishableG862 and undefiledG283 and 23will not fadeG263 awayG263, 24reservedG5083 in heavenG3772 for you, 5who are 25protectedG5432 by the powerG1411 of GodG2316 26throughG1223 faithG4102 for 27a salvationG4991 readyG2092 28to be revealedG601 in the lastG2078 timeG2540. 629In thisG3739 you greatlyG21 rejoiceG21, even though nowG737 30for a littleG3641 whileG3641, 31ifG1487 necessaryG1189, you have been distressedG3076 by 32variousG4164 33trialsG3986, 7soG2443 that the 3435proofG1383 of your faithG4102, being moreG4186 preciousG4186 than goldG5553 which 36is perishableG622, 37evenG1161 thoughG1161 testedG1381 by fireG4442, 38may be foundG2147 to resultG1519 in praiseG1868 and gloryG1391 and honorG5092 at 39the revelationG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547; 8and 40though you have not seenG3708 Him, you 41loveG25 Him, and though you do not seeG3708 Him nowG737, but believeG4100 in Him, you greatlyG21 rejoiceG21 with joyG5479 inexpressibleG412 and 42fullG1392 of gloryG1392, 9obtainingG2865 as 43the outcomeG5056 of your faithG4102 the salvationG4991 of 44your soulsG5590.

1045As to thisG3739 salvationG4991, the prophetsG4396 who 46prophesiedG4395 of the 47graceG5485 that would come to you madeG1567G1830 carefulG1567G1830 searchesG1567 and inquiriesG1830, 1148seekingG2045 to knowG2045 whatG4169 personG5101 orG2228 timeG2540 49the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547 withinG1722 them was indicatingG1213 as He 50predictedG4303 the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547 and the gloriesG1391 51to followG3326G3778. 12It was revealedG601 to them that they were not servingG1247 themselvesG1438, but you, in theseG846 thingsG846 whichG3739 nowG3568 have been announcedG312 to you throughG1223 thoseG3588 who 52preachedG2097 the gospelG2097 to you by 53the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 sentG649 from heavenG3772--things into whichG3739 54angelsG32 longG1937 to 55lookG3879.

13ThereforeG1352, 5657prepareG328 your mindsG1271 for action, 5859keepG3525 soberG3525 in spirit, fixG1679 your 60hopeG1679 completelyG5049 on the 61graceG5485 62to be broughtG5342 to you at 63the revelationG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 14As 6465obedientG5218 childrenG5043, do not 6667be conformedG4964 to the formerG4387 lustsG1939 which were yours in your 68ignoranceG52, 15but 6970likeG2596 the HolyG40 OneG40 who calledG2564 you, 7172be holyG40 yourselvesG846 alsoG2532 73in allG3956 your behaviorG391; 16becauseG1360 it is writtenG1125, “74You shall be holyG40, for I am holyG40.”

17IfG1487 you 75addressG1941 as FatherG3962 the One who 76impartiallyG678 77judgesG2919 accordingG2596 to eachG1538 one’sG1538 workG2041, conductG390 yourselves 78in fearG5401 during the timeG5550 of your 79stayG3940 on earth; 18knowingG3609 that you were not 8081redeemedG3084 with perishableG5349 thingsG5349 like silverG694 orG2228 goldG5553 from your 82futileG3152 wayG391 of lifeG391 inheritedG3970 from your forefathersG3970, 19but with preciousG5093 83bloodG129, as of a 84lambG286 unblemishedG299 and spotlessG784, the blood of ChristG5547. 20For He was 85foreknownG4267 beforeG4253 86the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, but has 87appearedG5319 88in theseG3588 lastG2078 timesG5550 89for the sakeG1223 of you 21who throughG1223 Him are 90believersG4103 in GodG2316, who raisedG1453 Him from the deadG3498 and 91gaveG1325 Him gloryG1391, soG5620 that your faithG4102 and 92hopeG1680 are in GodG2316.

22Since you have 93in obedienceG5218 to the truthG225 94purifiedG48 your soulsG5590 for a 9596sincereG505 loveG5360 of the brethrenG5360, ferventlyG1619 loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240 from 97the heartG2588, 23for you have been 98bornG313 againG313 99not of seedG4701 whichG5349 is perishableG5349 but imperishableG862, that is, throughG1223 the livingG2198 and enduringG3306 100wordG3056 of GodG2316. 24For, “101AllG3956 fleshG4561 is likeG5613 grassG5528, And allG3956 its gloryG1391 likeG5613 the flowerG438 of grassG5528. The grassG5528 withersG3583, And the flowerG438 fallsG1601 offG1601,25102But the wordG4487 of the LordG2962 enduresG3306 foreverG165.” And thisG3778 is 103the wordG4487 which was 104preachedG2097 to you.
