1PE 01:01 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers

scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and
Bithynia,

1PE 01:02 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.

1PE 01:03 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,

1PE 01:04 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and
that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

1PE 01:05 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto
salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

1PE 01:06 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season,
if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

1PE 01:07 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:

1PE 01:08 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:

1PE 01:09 Receiving the end of your faith, [even] the salvation
of [your] souls.

1PE 01:10 Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and
searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace [that should
come] unto you:

1PE 01:11 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.

1PE 01:12 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.

1PE 01:13 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;

1PE 01:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves
according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

1PE 01:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye
holy in all manner of conversation;

1PE 01:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

1PE 01:17 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:

1PE 01:18 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;

1PE 01:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb
without blemish and without spot:

1PE 01:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of
the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

1PE 01:21 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.

1PE 01:22 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:

1PE 01:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of
incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for
ever.

1PE 01:24 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:

1PE 01:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this
is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

1PE 02:01 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and
hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,

1PE 02:02 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word,
that ye may grow thereby:

1PE 02:03 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord [is] gracious.

1PE 02:04 To whom coming, [as unto] a living stone, disallowed
indeed of men, but chosen of God, [and] precious,

1PE 02:05 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.

1PE 02:06 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.

1PE 02:07 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,

1PE 02:08 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.

1PE 02:09 But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood,
an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the
praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his
marvellous light:

1PE 02:10 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.

1PE 02:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech [you] as strangers and
pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

1PE 02:12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles:
that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by
[your] good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the
day of visitation.

1PE 02:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the
Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

1PE 02:14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him
for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that
do well.

1PE 02:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye
may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

1PE 02:16 As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloak of
maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

1PE 02:17 Honour all [men]. Love the brotherhood. Fear God.
Honour the king.

1PE 02:18 Servants, [be] subject to [your] masters with all
fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

1PE 02:19 For this [is] thankworthy, if a man for conscience
toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

1PE 02:20 For what glory [is it], if, when ye be buffeted for
your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well,
and suffer [for it], ye take it patiently, this [is] acceptable
with God.

1PE 02:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also
suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow
his steps:

1PE 02:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

1PE 02:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he
suffered, he threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that
judgeth righteously:

1PE 02:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the
tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto
righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

1PE 02:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now
returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

1PE 03:01 Likewise, ye wives, [be] in subjection to your own
husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without
the word be won by the conversation of the wives;

1PE 03:02 While they behold your chaste conversation [coupled]
with fear.

1PE 03:03 Whose adorning let it not be that outward [adorning]
of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on
of apparel;

1PE 03:04 But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that
which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and
quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

1PE 03:05 For after this manner in the old time the holy women
also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in
subjection unto their own husbands:

1PE 03:06 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose
daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with
any amazement.

1PE 03:07 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with [them] according to
knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker
vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that
your prayers be not hindered.

1PE 03:08 Finally, [be ye] all of one mind, having compassion
one of another, love as brethren, [be] pitiful, [be] courteous:

1PE 03:09 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing:
but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called,
that ye should inherit a blessing.

1PE 03:10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let
him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak
no guile:

1PE 03:11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace,
and ensue it.

1PE 03:12 For the eyes of the Lord [are] over the righteous,
and his ears [are open] unto their prayers: but the face of the
Lord [is] against them that do evil.

1PE 03:13 And who [is] he that will harm you, if ye be
followers of that which is good?

1PE 03:14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy
[are ye]: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

1PE 03:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and [be]
ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a
reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

1PE 03:16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak
evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely
accuse your good conversation in Christ.

1PE 03:17 For [it is] better, if the will of God be so, that ye
suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

1PE 03:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just
for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to
death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

1PE 03:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits
in prison;

1PE 03:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the
longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark
was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by
water.

1PE 03:21 The like figure whereunto [even] baptism doth also
now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but
the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection
of Jesus Christ:

1PE 03:22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of
God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto
him.

1PE 04:01 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the
flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that
hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

1PE 04:02 That he no longer should live the rest of [his] time
in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

1PE 04:03 For the time past of [our] life may suffice us to
have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in
lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings,
and abominable idolatries:

1PE 04:04 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with
[them] to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of [you]:

1PE 04:05 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge
the quick and the dead.

1PE 04:06 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to
them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men
in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

1PE 04:07 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore
sober, and watch unto prayer.

1PE 04:08 And above all things have fervent charity among
yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

1PE 04:09 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.

1PE 04:10 As every man hath received the gift, [even so]
minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the
manifold grace of God.

1PE 04:11 If any man speak, [let him speak] as the oracles of
God; if any man minister, [let him do it] as of the ability
which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified
through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever
and ever. Amen.

1PE 04:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery
trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened
unto you:

1PE 04:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's
sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be
glad also with exceeding joy.

1PE 04:14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy
[are ye]; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you:
on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is
glorified.

1PE 04:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or [as] a
thief, or [as] an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's
matters.

1PE 04:16 Yet if [any man suffer] as a Christian, let him not
be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

1PE 04:17 For the time [is come] that judgment must begin at
the house of God: and if [it] first [begin] at us, what shall
the end [be] of them that obey not the gospel of God?

1PE 04:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall
the ungodly and the sinner appear?

1PE 04:19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will
of God commit the keeping of their souls [to him] in well doing,
as unto a faithful Creator.

1PE 05:01 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also
an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a
partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

1PE 05:02 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the
oversight [thereof], not by constraint, but willingly; not for
filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

1PE 05:03 Neither as being lords over [God's] heritage, but
being ensamples to the flock.

1PE 05:04 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall
receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

1PE 05:05 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the
elder. Yea, all [of you] be subject one to another, and be
clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth
grace to the humble.

1PE 05:06 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of
God, that he may exalt you in due time:

1PE 05:07 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

1PE 05:08 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the
devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may
devour:

1PE 05:09 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the
same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in
the world.

1PE 05:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his
eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a
while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you].

1PE 05:11 To him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever.
Amen.

1PE 05:12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I
suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that
this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.

1PE 05:13 The [church that is] at Babylon, elected together
with [you], saluteth you; and [so doth] Marcus my son.

1PE 05:14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace
[be] with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
