1 Peter 1:1-2:10

1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father,
through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and
sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and
peace, be multiplied.

1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again
unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the
dead,

1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that
fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto
salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

1:6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need
be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than
of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be
found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of
Jesus Christ:

1:8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see
him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and
full of glory:

1:9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of
your souls.

1:10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched
diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto
you:

1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ
which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the
sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but
unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported
unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with
the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels
desire to look into.

1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and
hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at
the revelation of Jesus Christ;

1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according
to the former lusts in your ignorance:

1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in
all manner of conversation;

1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

1:17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of
persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of
your sojourning here in fear:

1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with
corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain
conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without
blemish and without spot:

1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the
world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

1:21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the
dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in
God.

1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth
through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see
that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of
incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for
ever.

1:24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as
the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower
thereof falleth away:

1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the
word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

2:1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that
ye may grow thereby:

2:3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

2:4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed
of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house,
an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices,
acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I
lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that
believeth on him shall not be confounded.

2:7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto
them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders
disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

2:8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to
them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto
also they were appointed.

2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an
holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the
praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his
marvellous light:

2:10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the
people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have
obtained mercy.
