11PeterG4074, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547,

To those who resideG3927 asG3927 2strangersG3927, 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 be multipliedG4129 to youG4771.

316BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 and FatherG3962 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, who 17accordingG2596 to His greatG4183 mercyG1656 18has causedG313 us toG313 beG313 bornG313 againG313 to 19a livingG2198 hopeG1680 throughG1223 the 20resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 from the deadG3498, 4to obtain an 21inheritanceG2817 which is imperishableG862, undefiledG283, and 22will not fadeG263 awayG263, 23reservedG5083 in heavenG3772 for you, 5who are 24protectedG5432 by the powerG1411 of GodG2316 25throughG1223 faithG4102 for 26a salvationG4991 readyG2092 27to be revealedG601 in the lastG2078 timeG2540. 628In thisG3739 you greatlyG21 rejoiceG21, even though nowG737 29for a littleG3641 whileG3641, 30ifG1487 necessaryG1189, you have been distressedG3076 by 31variousG4164 32trialsG3986, 7soG2443 thatG2443 the 3334proofG1383 of your faithG4102, being moreG4186 preciousG4186 than goldG5553 which perishesG622 35thoughG1161 testedG1381 by fireG4442, 36may be foundG2147 to resultG1519 in praiseG1868, gloryG1391, and honorG5092 at 37the revelationG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547; 8and 38though you have not seenG3708 Him, you 39loveG25 Him, and though you do not seeG3708 Him nowG737, but believeG4100 in Him, you greatlyG21 rejoiceG21 with joyG5479 inexpressibleG412 and 40fullG1392 ofG1392 gloryG1392, 9obtainingG2865 as 41the outcomeG5056 of your faithG4102, the salvationG4991 of 42your soulsG5590.

1043As to thisG3739 salvationG4991, the prophetsG4396 who 44prophesiedG4395 of the 45graceG5485 that would come to you madeG1567G1830 carefulG1567G1830 searchesG1567 and inquiriesG1830, 1146seekingG2038 toG2038 knowG2038 whatG5101 personG5101 orG2228 timeG2540 47the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547 withinG1722 them was indicatingG1213 as He 48predictedG4303 the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547 and the gloriesG1391 49to 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 50preachedG2097 the gospelG2097 to you by 51the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 sentG649 from heavenG3772--things into whichG3739 52angelsG32 longG1937 to 53lookG3879.

13ThereforeG1352, 5455prepareG328 your mindsG1271 for action, 5657keepG3525 soberG3525 in spirit, setG1679 your 58hopeG1679 completelyG5049 on the 59graceG5485 to be broughtG5342 to you at 60the revelationG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 14As 6162obedientG5218 childrenG5043, do not 6364be conformedG4964 to the formerG4387 lustsG1939 which were yours in your 65ignoranceG52, 15but 6667likeG2596 the HolyG40 OneG40 who calledG2564 you, 6869be holyG40 yourselvesG846 alsoG2532 70in allG3956 your behaviorG391; 16becauseG1360 it is writtenG1125: “71You shall be holyG40, for I am holyG40.”

17IfG1487 you 72addressG1941 as FatherG3962 the One who 73impartiallyG678 74judgesG2919 accordingG2596 to eachG1538 one’sG1538 workG2041, conductG390 yourselves 75in fearG5401 during the timeG5550 of your 76stayG3940 on earth; 18knowingG3609 that you were not 7778redeemedG3084 with perishableG5349 thingsG5349 like silverG694 orG2228 goldG5553 from your 79futileG3152 wayG391 ofG391 lifeG391 inheritedG3970 fromG3970 your forefathersG3970, 19but with preciousG5093 80bloodG129, as of a 81lambG286 unblemishedG299 and spotlessG784, the blood of ChristG5547. 20For He was 82foreknownG4267 beforeG4253 83the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, but has 84appearedG5319 85in theseG3588 lastG2078 timesG5550 86for the sakeG1223 of you 21who throughG1223 Him are 87believersG4103 in GodG2316, who raisedG1453 Him from the deadG3498 and 88gaveG1325 Him gloryG1391, soG5620 thatG5620 your faithG4102 and 89hopeG1680 are in GodG2316.

22Since you have 90purifiedG48 your soulsG5590 91in obedienceG5218 to the truthG225 for a 92sincereG505 loveG5360 ofG5360 theG5360 brothersG5360 and sistersG5360, ferventlyG1619 loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240 from 93the heartG2588, 23for you have been 94bornG313 againG313 95not of seedG4701 which is perishableG5349, but imperishableG862, that is, throughG1223 the livingG2198 and enduringG3306 96wordG3056 of GodG2316. 24For, “97AllG3956 fleshG4561 is likeG5613 grassG5528, And allG3956 its gloryG1391 is likeG5613 the flowerG438 of grassG5528. The grassG5528 withersG3583, And the flowerG438 fallsG1601 offG1601,2598But the wordG4487 of the LordG2962 enduresG3306 foreverG165.” And thisG3778 is 99the wordG4487 which was 100preachedG2097 to you.
