1 Peter 1:5-25

5who are 1protectedG5432 by the powerG1411 of GodG2316 2throughG1223 faithG4102 for 3a salvationG4991 readyG2092 4to be revealedG601 in the lastG2078 timeG2540. 65In thisG3739 you greatlyG21 rejoiceG21, even though nowG737 6for a littleG3641 whileG3641, 7ifG1487 necessaryG1189, you have been distressedG3076 by 8variousG4164 9trialsG3986, 7soG2443 that the 1011proofG1383 of your faithG4102, being moreG4186 preciousG4186 than goldG5553 which 12is perishableG622, 13evenG1161 thoughG1161 testedG1381 by fireG4442, 14may be foundG2147 to resultG1519 in praiseG1868 and gloryG1391 and honorG5092 at 15the revelationG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547; 8and 16though you have not seenG3708 Him, you 17loveG25 Him, and though you do not seeG3708 Him nowG737, but believeG4100 in Him, you greatlyG21 rejoiceG21 with joyG5479 inexpressibleG412 and 18fullG1392 of gloryG1392, 9obtainingG2865 as 19the outcomeG5056 of your faithG4102 the salvationG4991 of 20your soulsG5590.

1021As to thisG3739 salvationG4991, the prophetsG4396 who 22prophesiedG4395 of the 23graceG5485 that would come to you madeG1567G1830 carefulG1567G1830 searchesG1567 and inquiriesG1830, 1124seekingG2045 to knowG2045 whatG4169 personG5101 orG2228 timeG2540 25the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547 withinG1722 them was indicatingG1213 as He 26predictedG4303 the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547 and the gloriesG1391 27to 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 28preachedG2097 the gospelG2097 to you by 29the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 sentG649 from heavenG3772--things into whichG3739 30angelsG32 longG1937 to 31lookG3879.

13ThereforeG1352, 3233prepareG328 your mindsG1271 for action, 3435keepG3525 soberG3525 in spirit, fixG1679 your 36hopeG1679 completelyG5049 on the 37graceG5485 38to be broughtG5342 to you at 39the revelationG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 14As 4041obedientG5218 childrenG5043, do not 4243be conformedG4964 to the formerG4387 lustsG1939 which were yours in your 44ignoranceG52, 15but 4546likeG2596 the HolyG40 OneG40 who calledG2564 you, 4748be holyG40 yourselvesG846 alsoG2532 49in allG3956 your behaviorG391; 16becauseG1360 it is writtenG1125, “50You shall be holyG40, for I am holyG40.”

17IfG1487 you 51addressG1941 as FatherG3962 the One who 52impartiallyG678 53judgesG2919 accordingG2596 to eachG1538 one’sG1538 workG2041, conductG390 yourselves 54in fearG5401 during the timeG5550 of your 55stayG3940 on earth; 18knowingG3609 that you were not 5657redeemedG3084 with perishableG5349 thingsG5349 like silverG694 orG2228 goldG5553 from your 58futileG3152 wayG391 of lifeG391 inheritedG3970 from your forefathersG3970, 19but with preciousG5093 59bloodG129, as of a 60lambG286 unblemishedG299 and spotlessG784, the blood of ChristG5547. 20For He was 61foreknownG4267 beforeG4253 62the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, but has 63appearedG5319 64in theseG3588 lastG2078 timesG5550 65for the sakeG1223 of you 21who throughG1223 Him are 66believersG4103 in GodG2316, who raisedG1453 Him from the deadG3498 and 67gaveG1325 Him gloryG1391, soG5620 that your faithG4102 and 68hopeG1680 are in GodG2316.

22Since you have 69in obedienceG5218 to the truthG225 70purifiedG48 your soulsG5590 for a 7172sincereG505 loveG5360 of the brethrenG5360, ferventlyG1619 loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240 from 73the heartG2588, 23for you have been 74bornG313 againG313 75not of seedG4701 whichG5349 is perishableG5349 but imperishableG862, that is, throughG1223 the livingG2198 and enduringG3306 76wordG3056 of GodG2316. 24For, “77AllG3956 fleshG4561 is likeG5613 grassG5528, And allG3956 its gloryG1391 likeG5613 the flowerG438 of grassG5528. The grassG5528 withersG3583, And the flowerG438 fallsG1601 offG1601,2578But the wordG4487 of the LordG2962 enduresG3306 foreverG165.” And thisG3778 is 79the wordG4487 which was 80preachedG2097 to you.
