<center><small>''The apostle's address, showing that their salvation in Christ had been foretold by the prophets.<br/>Peter exhorts all to godliness.</small></center>
'''1''' Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered<ref>[[John, Chapter 7|Joh 7:35]], [[Acts, Chapter 2|Act 2:5]], [[Acts, Chapter 2|Act 2:9]]</ref> throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
'''2''' Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father<ref>[[Romans, Chapter 8|Rom 8:29]]</ref>, through sanctification of the Spirit<ref>[[2nd Thessalonians, Chapter 2|2 The 2:13]]</ref>, unto obedience and sprinkling<ref>[[Hebrews, Chapter 10|Heb 10:22]]</ref> of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
'''3''' Blessed ''be'' the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again<ref>[[James, Chapter 1|Jam 1:18]]</ref> unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead<ref>[[1st Thessalonians, Chapter 4|1 The 4:14]]</ref>,
'''4''' To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you<ref>[[John, Chapter 10|Joh 10:28]]</ref>,
'''5''' Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
'''6''' Wherein ye greatly rejoice<ref>[[Matthew, Chapter 5|Mat 5:12]], [[Romans, Chapter 12|Rom 12:12]]</ref>, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
'''7''' That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire<ref>[[Isaiah, Chapter 48|Isa 48:10]], [[Proverbs, Chapter 17|Pro 17:3]], [[Psalm 66|Psa 66:10]]</ref>, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
'''8''' Whom having not seen, ye love<ref>[[1st John, Chapter 4|1 Joh 4:20]]</ref>; in whom, though now ye see ''him'' not, yet believing<ref>[[John, Chapter 20|Joh 20:29]]</ref>, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
'''9''' Receiving the end of your faith, ''even'' the salvation of ''your'' souls.
'''10''' Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently<ref>[[Daniel, Chapter 2|Dan 2:44]], [[Haggai, Chapter 2|Hag 2:7]], [[Zechariah, Chapter 6|Zec 6:12]]</ref>, who prophesied of the grace ''that should come'' unto you:
'''11''' Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify<ref>[[Galatians, Chapter 4|Gal 4:6]], [[1st Peter, Chapter 3|1 Pet 3:19]], [[2nd Peter, Chapter 1|2 Pet 1:21]]</ref>, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ<ref>[[Psalm 22|Psa 22:6]], [[Isaiah, Chapter 53|Isa 53:3]]</ref>, and the glory that should follow.
'''12''' Unto whom it was revealed<ref>[[Daniel, Chapter 12|Dan 12:9]]</ref>, that not unto themselves<ref>[[Hebrews, Chapter 11|Heb 11:39]]</ref>, 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<ref>[[Acts, Chapter 2|Act 2:4]]</ref> sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into<ref>[[Ephesians, Chapter 3|Eph 3:10]], [[Daniel, Chapter 8|Dan 8:13]], [[Exodus, Chapter 25|Exo 25:20]]</ref>.
'''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<ref>[[Luke, Chapter 17|Luk 17:30]]</ref>;
'''14''' As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
'''15''' But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
'''16''' Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy<ref>[[Exodus, Chapter 19|Exo 19:6]], [[Leviticus, Chapter 11|Lev 11:44]]</ref>.
'''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<ref>[[Genesis, Chapter 47|Gen 47:9]], [[2nd Corinthians, Chapter 5|2 Cor 5:6]], [[Hebrews, Chapter 11|Heb 11:13]]</ref>:
'''18''' Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation ''received'' by tradition<ref>[[Ezekiel, Chapter 20|Eze 20:18]], [[1st Peter, Chapter 4|1 Pet 4:3]]</ref> from your fathers;
'''19''' But with the precious blood of Christ<ref>[[Revelation, Chapter 5|Rev 5:9]], [[Acts, Chapter 20|Act 20:28]], [[Matthew, Chapter 26|Mat 26:28]]</ref>, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot<ref>[[John, Chapter 1|Joh 1:29]], [[Exodus, Chapter 12|Exo 12:5]]</ref>:
'''20''' Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world<ref>[[Titus, Chapter 1|Tit 1:2-3]], [[Revelation, Chapter 13|Rev 13:8]]</ref>, but was manifest<ref>[[Galatians, Chapter 4|Gal 4:4]]</ref> in these last times for you,
'''21''' Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory<ref>[[Philippians, Chapter 2|Phi 2:9]]</ref>; that your faith and hope might be in God.
'''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:
'''23''' Being born again<ref>[[John, Chapter 1|Joh 1:13]], [[1st John, Chapter 3|1 Joh 3:9]]</ref>, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God<ref>[[John, Chapter 1|Joh 1:13]]</ref>, which liveth and abideth for ever.
'''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:
'''25''' But the word of the Lord endureth for ever<ref>[[Isaiah, Chapter 40|Isa 40:8]], [[Luke, Chapter 16|Luk 16:17]]</ref>. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
