¹Wherefore^G3767 laying aside^G0659 all^G3956 malice^G2549, and^G2532 all^G3956 guile^G1388, and^G2532 hypocrisies^G5272, and^G2532 envies^G5355, and^G2532 all^G3956 evil speakings^G2636, ²As^G5613 newborn^G0738 babes^G1025, desire^G1971 the sincere^G0097 milk^G1051 of the word^G3050, that^G2443 ye may grow^G0837 thereby^G1722: ³If so be^G1512 ye have tasted^G1089 that^G3754 the Lord^G2962 is gracious^G5543. ⁴To^G4314 whom^G3739 coming^G4334, as unto a living^G2198 stone^G3037, disallowed^G0593 indeed^G3303 of^G5259 men^G0444, but^G1161 chosen^G1588 of^G3844 God^G2316, and precious^G1784, ⁵Ye^G0846 also^G2532, as^G5613 lively^G2198 stones^G3037, are built up^G3618 a spiritual^G4152 house^G3624, an holy^G0040 priesthood^G2406, to offer up^G0399 spiritual^G4152 sacrifices^G2378, acceptable^G2144 to God^G2316 by^G1223 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547. ⁶Wherefore^G1352 also^G2532 it is contained^G4023 in^G1722 the scripture^G1124, Behold^G2400, I lay^G5087 in^G1722 Sion^G4622 a chief corner^G0204 stone^G3037, elect^G1588, precious^G1784: and^G2532 he that believeth^G4100 on^G1909 him^G0846 shall^G2617 not^G3756 be confounded^G2617. ⁷Unto you^G5213 therefore^G3767 which^G3588 believe^G4100 he is precious^G5092: but^G1161 unto them which be disobedient^G0544, the stone^G3037 which^G3739 the builders^G3618 disallowed^G0593, the same^G3778 is made^G1096 the head^G2776 of the corner^G1137, ⁸And^G2532 a stone^G3037 of stumbling^G4348, and^G2532 a rock^G4073 of offence^G4625, even to them which^G3739 stumble at^G4350 the word^G3056, being disobedient^G0544: whereunto^G1519 also^G2532 they were appointed^G5087. ⁹But^G1161 ye^G5210 are a chosen^G1588 generation^G1085, a royal^G0934 priesthood^G2406, an holy^G0040 nation^G1484, a peculiar^G4047 people^G2992; that^G3704 ye should shew forth^G1804 the praises^G0703 of him who hath called^G2564 you^G5209 out of^G1537 darkness^G4655 into^G1519 his^G0846 marvellous^G2298 light^G5457: ¹⁰Which^G3588 in time past^G4218 were not^G3756 a people^G2992, but^G1161 are now^G3568 the people^G2992 of God^G2316: which^G3588 had^G1653 not^G3756 obtained mercy^G1653, but^G1161 now^G3568 have obtained mercy^G1653.

¹¹Dearly beloved^G0027, I beseech^G3870 you as^G5613 strangers^G3941 and^G2532 pilgrims^G3927, abstain^G0567 from fleshly^G4559 lusts^G1939, which^G3748 war^G4754 against^G2596 the soul^G5590; ¹²Having^G2192 your^G5216 conversation^G0391 honest^G2570 among^G1722 the Gentiles^G1484: that^G2443, whereas^G1722 they speak against^G2635 you^G5216 as^G5613 evildoers^G2555, they may^G1392 by^G1537 your good^G2570 works^G2041, which they shall behold^G2029, glorify^G1392 God^G2316 in^G1722 the day^G2250 of visitation^G1984.

¹³Submit yourselves^G5293 to every^G3956 ordinance^G2937 of man^G0442 for^G1223 the Lords sake^G2962: whether it be^G1535 to the king^G0935, as^G5613 supreme^G5242; ¹⁴Or^G1535 unto governors^G2232, as^G5613 unto them that are sent^G3992 by^G1223 him^G0846 for^G1519 the punishment^G1557 of evildoers^G2555, and^G1161 for the praise^G1868 of them that do well^G0017. ¹⁵For^G3754 so^G3779 is^G2076 the will^G2307 of God^G2316, that with well doing^G0015 ye may put to silence^G5392 the ignorance^G0056 of foolish^G0878 men^G0444: ¹⁶As^G5613 free^G1658, and^G2532 not^G3361 using^G2192 your liberty^G1657 for^G5613 a cloke^G1942 of maliciousness^G2549, but^G0235 as^G5613 the servants^G1401 of God^G2316. ¹⁷Honour^G5091 all^G3956 men .

¹Likewise^G3668, ye wives^G1135, be in subjection^G5293 to your own^G2398 husbands^G0435; that^G2443, if^G1487 any^G5100 obey not^G0544 the word^G3056, they also^G2532 may^G2770 without^G0427 the word^G3056 be won^G2770 by^G1223 the conversation of the wives^G1135; ²While they behold^G2029 your^G5216 chaste^G0053 conversation^G0391 coupled with^G1722 fear^G5401. ³Whose^G3739 adorning^G2889 let it^G2077 not^G3756 be^G2077 that outward^G1855 adorning of plaiting^G1708 the hair^G2359, and^G2532 of wearing^G4025 of gold^G5553, or^G2228 of putting on^G1745 of apparel^G2440; ⁴But^G0235 let it be the hidden^G2927 man^G0444 of the heart^G2588, in^G1722 that which is not corruptible^G0862, even the ornament of a meek^G4239 and^G2532 quiet^G2272 spirit^G4151, which^G3739 is^G2076 in the sight^G1799 of God^G2316 of great price^G4185. ⁵For^G1063 after this manner^G3779 in the old time^G4218 the holy^G0040 women^G1135 also^G2532, who trusted^G1679 in^G1909 God^G2316, adorned^G2885 themselves^G1438, being in subjection^G5293 unto their own^G2398 husbands^G0435: ⁶Even as^G5613 Sara^G4564 obeyed^G5219 Abraham^G0011, calling^G2564 him^G0846 lord^G2962: whose^G3739 daughters^G5043 ye are^G1096, as long as ye do well^G0015, and^G2532 are^G5399 not^G3361 afraid^G5399 with any^G3367 amazement^G4423. ⁷Likewise^G3668, ye husbands^G0435, dwell with^G4924 them according to^G2596 knowledge^G1108, giving^G0632 honour^G5092 unto the wife^G1134, as^G5613 unto the weaker^G0772 vessel^G4632, and^G2532 as^G5613 being heirs together^G4789 of the grace^G5485 of life^G2222; that^G1519 your^G5216 prayers^G4335 be^G1581 not^G3361 hindered^G1581. ⁸Finally^G5056, be ye all^G3956 of one mind^G3675, having compassion one of another^G4835, love as brethren^G5361, be pitiful^G2155, be courteous^G5391: ⁹Not^G3361 rendering^G0591 evil^G2556 for^G0473 evil^G2556, or^G2228 railing^G3059 for^G0473 railing^G3059: but^G1161 contrariwise^G5121 blessing^G2127; knowing^G1492 that^G3754 ye are^G2564 thereunto^G1519 called^G2564, that^G2443 ye should inherit^G2816 a blessing^G2129. ¹⁰For^G1063 he that will^G2309 love^G0025 life^G2222, and^G2532 see^G1492 good^G0018 days^G2250, let him refrain^G3973 his^G0846 tongue^G1100 from^G0575 evil^G2556, and^G2532 his^G0846 lips^G5491 that they speak^G2980 no^G3361 guile^G1388: ¹¹Let him eschew^G1578 evil^G2556, and^G2532 do^G4160 good^G0018; let him seek^G2212 peace^G1515, and^G2532 ensue^G1377 it^G0846. ¹²For^G3754 the eyes^G3788 of the Lord^G2962 are over^G1909 the righteous^G1342, and^G2532 his^G0846 ears^G3775 are open unto^G1519 their^G0846 prayers^G1162: but^G1161 the face^G4383 of the Lord^G2962 is against^G1909 them that do^G4160 evil^G2556.

¹³And^G2532 who^G5101 is he that will harm^G2559 you^G5209, if^G1437 ye be^G1096 followers^G3402 of that which is good^G0018? ¹⁴But^G0235 and^G2532 if^G1487 ye suffer^G3958 for^G1223 righteousnesssake^G1343, happy^G3107 are ye : and^G1161 be^G5399 not^G3361 afraid^G5399 of their^G0846 terror^G5401, neither^G3366 be troubled^G5015; ¹⁵But^G1161 sanctify^G0037 the Lord^G2962 God^G2316 in^G1722 your^G5216 hearts^G2588: and^G1161 be ready^G2092 always^G0104 to^G4314 give an answer^G0627 to every man^G3956 that asketh^G0154 you^G5209 a reason^G3056 of^G4012 the hope^G1680 that^G3588 is in^G1722 you^G5213 with^G3326 meekness^G4240 and^G2532 fear^G5401: ¹⁶Having^G2192 a good^G0018 conscience^G4893; that^G2443, whereas^G1722 they speak evil^G2635 of you^G5216, as^G5613 of evildoers^G2555, they may be ashamed^G2617 that falsely accuse^G1908 your^G5216 good^G0018 conversation^G0391 in^G1722 Christ^G5547. ¹⁷For^G1063 it is better^G2909, if^G1487 the will^G2307 of God^G2316 be so^G2309, that ye suffer^G3958 for well doing^G0015, than^G2228 for evil doing^G2554. ¹⁸For^G3754 Christ^G5547 also^G2532 hath^G3958 once^G0530 suffered^G3958 for^G4012 sins^G0266, the just^G1342 for^G5228 the unjust^G0094, that^G2443 he might bring^G4317 us^G2248 to God^G2316, being put to death^G2289 in the flesh^G4561, but^G1161 quickened^G2227 by the Spirit^G4151: ¹⁹By^G1722 which^G3739 also^G2532 he went^G4198 and preached^G2784 unto the spirits^G4151 in^G1722 prison^G5438; ²⁰Which sometime^G4218 were disobedient^G0544, when^G3753 once^G0530 the longsuffering^G3115 of God^G2316 waited^G1551 in^G1722 the days^G2250 of Noah^G3575, while the ark^G2787 was a preparing^G2680, wherein^G1519 few^G3641, that^G5124 is^G2076, eight^G3638 souls^G5590 were saved^G1295 by^G1223 water^G5204. ²¹The like figure^G0499 whereunto^G3739 even baptism^G0908 doth^G4982 also^G2532 now^G3568 save^G4982 us^G2248 (not^G3756 the putting away^G0595 of the filth^G4509 of the flesh^G4561, but^G0235 the answer^G1906 of a good^G0018 conscience^G4893 toward^G1519 God^G2316,) by^G1223 the resurrection^G0386 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547: ²²Who^G3739 is gone^G4198 into^G1519 heaven^G3772, and is^G2076 on^G1722 the right hand^G1188 of God^G2316; angels^G0032 and^G2532 authorities^G1849 and^G2532 powers^G1411 being made subject^G5293 unto him^G0846.

1 Peter: Chapter 4

¹Forasmuch then as^G3767 Christ^G5547 hath suffered^G3958 for^G5228 us^G2257 in the flesh^G4561, arm^G3695 yourselves^G5210 likewise^G2532 with the same^G0846 mind^G1771: for^G3754 he that hath suffered^G3958 in^G1722 the flesh^G4561 hath ceased^G3973 from sin^G0266; ²That^G1519 he^G0980 no longer^G3371 should live^G0980 the rest^G1954 of^G5550 his time^G5550 in^G1722 the flesh^G4561 to the lusts^G1939 of men^G0444, but^G0235 to the will^G2307 of God^G2316. ³For^G1063 the time^G5550 past^G3928 of^G0979 our life^G0979 may suffice^G0713 us^G2254 to have wrought^G2716 the will^G2307 of the Gentiles^G1484, when we walked^G4198 in^G1722 lasciviousness^G0766, lusts^G1939, excess of wine^G3632, revellings^G2970, banquetings^G4224, and^G2532 abominable^G0111 idolatries^G1495: ⁴Wherein^G1722 they think it strange^G3579 that ye^G5216 run^G4936 not^G3361 with^G1519 them to^G1519 the same^G0846 excess^G0401 of riot^G0810, speaking evil of^G0987 you : ⁵Who^G3739 shall give^G0591 account^G3056 to him that is^G2192 ready^G2093 to judge^G2919 the quick^G2198 and^G2532 the dead^G3498. ⁶For^G1063 for^G1519 this cause^G5124 was the gospel preached^G2097 also^G2532 to them that are dead^G3498, that^G2443 they might be judged^G2919 according to^G2596 men^G0444 in the flesh^G4561, but^G1161 live^G2198 according to^G2596 God^G2316 in the spirit^G4151.

⁷But^G1161 the end^G5056 of all things^G3956 is at hand^G1448: be ye^G4993 therefore^G3767 sober^G4993, and^G2532 watch^G3525 unto^G1519 prayer^G4335. ⁸And^G1161 above^G4253 all things^G3956 have^G2192 fervent^G1618 charity^G0026 among^G1519 yourselves^G1438: for^G3754 charity^G0026 shall cover^G2572 the multitude^G4128 of sins^G0266. ⁹Use hospitality^G5382 one^G0240 to^G1519 another^G0240 without^G0427 grudging^G1112. ¹⁰As^G2531 every man^G1538 hath received^G2983 the gift^G5486, even so minister^G1247 the same^G0846 one^G1438 to^G1519 another^G1438, as^G5613 good^G2570 stewards^G3623 of the manifold^G4164 grace^G5485 of God^G2316. ¹¹If^G1487 any man^G5100 speak^G2980, let him speak as^G5613 the oracles^G3051 of God^G2316; if^G1487 any man^G5100 minister^G1247, let him do it as^G5613 of^G1537 the ability^G2479 which^G3739 God^G2316 giveth^G5524: that^G2443 God^G2316 in^G1722 all things^G3956 may be glorified^G1392 through^G1223 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, to whom^G3739 be^G2076 praise^G1391 and^G2532 dominion^G2904 for^G1519 ever^G0165 and ever^G0165. Amen^G0281.

¹²Beloved^G0027, think it^G3579 not^G3361 strange^G3579 concerning^G1722 the fiery trial^G4451 which is^G1096 to^G4314 try^G3986 you^G5213, as though^G5613 some strange thing^G3581 happened^G4819 unto you^G5213: ¹³But^G0235 rejoice^G5463, inasmuch as^G2526 ye are partakers^G2841 of Christs^G5547 sufferings^G3804; that^G2443, when^G1722 his^G0846 glory^G1391 shall be revealed^G0602, ye may be glad^G5463 also^G2532 with exceeding joy^G0021. ¹⁴If^G1487 ye be reproached^G3679 for^G1722 the name^G3686 of Christ^G5547, happy^G3107 are ye ; for^G3754 the spirit^G4151 of glory^G1391 and^G2532 of God^G2316 resteth^G0373 upon^G1909 you^G5209: on^G2596 their^G0846 part^G2596 he is evil spoken of^G0987, but^G1161 on^G2596 your^G5209 part^G2596 he is glorified^G1392. ¹⁵But^G1063 let^G3958 none^G3361 of you^G5216 suffer^G3958 as^G5613 a murderer^G5406, or^G2228 as a thief^G2812, or^G2228 as an evildoer^G2555, or^G2228 as^G5613 a busybody in other mens matters^G0244. ¹⁶Yet^G1161 if^G1487 any man suffer as^G5613 a Christian^G5546, let him^G0153 not^G3361 be ashamed^G0153; but^G1161 let him glorify^G1392 God^G2316 on^G1722 this^G5129 behalf^G3313. ¹⁷For^G3754 the time^G2540 is come that judgment^G2917 must begin^G0756 at^G0575 the house^G3624 of God^G2316: and^G1161 if^G1487 it first^G4412 begin at^G0575 us^G2257, what^G5101 shall the end^G5056 be of them that obey not^G0544 the gospel^G2098 of God^G2316? ¹⁸And^G2532 if^G1487 the righteous^G1342 scarcely^G3433 be saved^G4982, where^G4226 shall^G5316 the ungodly^G0765 and^G2532 the sinner^G0268 appear^G5316? ¹⁹Wherefore^G5620 let them that suffer^G3958 according to^G2596 the will^G2307 of God^G2316 commit the keeping^G3908 of their^G1438 souls^G5590 to him in^G1722 well doing^G0016, as^G5613 unto a faithful^G4103 Creator^G2939.

1 Peter: Chapter 5

¹The elders^G4245 which^G3588 are among^G1722 you^G5213 I exhort^G3870, who^G3588 am also an elder^G4850, and^G2532 a witness^G3144 of the sufferings^G3804 of Christ^G5547, and also^G2532 a partaker^G2844 of the glory^G1391 that shall^G3195 be revealed^G0601: ²Feed^G4165 the flock^G4168 of God^G2316 which is among^G1722 you^G5213, taking the oversight^G1983 thereof , not^G3361 by constraint^G0317, but^G0235 willingly^G1596; not^G3366 for filthy lucre^G0147, but^G0235 of a ready mind^G4290; ³Neither^G3366 as^G5613 being lords over^G2634 Gods heritage^G2819, but^G0235 being^G1096 ensamples^G5179 to the flock^G4168. ⁴And when^G2532 the chief Shepherd^G0750 shall appear^G5319, ye shall receive^G2865 a crown^G4735 of glory^G1391 that fadeth not away^G0262. ⁵Likewise^G3668, ye younger^G3501, submit^G5293 yourselves^G0240 unto the elder^G4245. Yea^G1161, all^G3956 of you be subject one to another^G5293, and be clothed with^G1463 humility^G5012: for^G3754 God^G2316 resisteth^G0498 the proud^G5244, and^G1161 giveth^G1325 grace^G5485 to the humble^G5011.

⁶Humble yourselves^G5013 therefore^G3767 under^G5259 the mighty^G2900 hand^G5495 of God^G2316, that^G2443 he may exalt^G5312 you^G5209 in^G1722 due time^G2540: ⁷Casting^G1977 all^G3956 your^G5216 care^G3308 upon^G1909 him^G0846; for^G3754 he^G0846 careth^G3199 for^G4012 you^G5216. ⁸Be sober^G3525, be vigilant^G1127; because^G3754 your^G5216 adversary^G0476 the devil^G1228, as^G5613 a roaring^G5612 lion^G3023, walketh about^G4043, seeking^G2212 whom^G5101 he may devour^G2666: ⁹Whom^G3739 resist^G0436 stedfast^G4731 in the faith^G4102, knowing that^G1492 the same^G0846 afflictions^G3804 are accomplished^G2005 in your^G5216 brethren^G0081 that are in^G1722 the world^G2889. ¹⁰But^G1161 the God^G2316 of all^G3956 grace^G5485, who^G3588 hath called^G2564 us^G2248 unto^G1519 his^G0846 eternal^G0166 glory^G1391 by^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424, after that ye have suffered^G3958 a while^G3641, make^G2675 you^G5209 perfect^G2675, stablish^G4741, strengthen^G4599, settle^G2311 you . ¹¹To him^G0846 be glory^G1391 and^G2532 dominion^G2904 for^G1519 ever^G0165 and ever^G0165.

¹²By^G1223 Silvanus^G4610, a faithful^G4103 brother^G0080 unto you^G5213, as^G5613 I suppose^G3049, I have written^G1125 briefly^G3641, exhorting^G3870, and^G2532 testifying^G1957 that this^G3778 is^G1511 the true^G0227 grace^G5485 of God^G2316 wherein^G1519 ye stand^G2476. ¹³The^G3588 church that is at^G1722 Babylon^G0897, elected together with^G4899 you , saluteth^G0782 you^G5209; and^G2532 so doth Marcus^G3138 my^G3450 son^G5207. ¹⁴Greet ye^G0782 one another^G0240 with^G1722 a kiss^G5370 of charity^G0026.
