1:1 Peter 4074, an apostle 652 of Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, to the strangers 3927 scattered 1290 throughout Pontus 4195, Galatia 1053, Cappadocia 2587, Asia 773, and 2532 Bithynia 978,

1:2 Elect 1588 according 2596 to the foreknowledge 4268 of God 2316 the Father 3962, through 1722 sanctification 38 of the Spirit 4151, unto 1519 obedience 5218 and 2532 sprinkling 4473 of the blood 129 of Jesus 2424 Christ 5547: Grace 5485 unto you 5213, and 2532 peace 1515, be multiplied 4129 5684.

1:3 Blessed 2128 [be] the God 2316 and 2532 Father 3962 of our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, which 3588 according to 2596 his 846 abundant 4183 mercy 1656 hath begotten 313 0 us 2248 again 313 5660 unto 1519 a lively 2198 5723 hope 1680 by 1223 the resurrection 386 of Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 from 1537 the dead 3498,(abundant: Gr. much)

1:4 To 1519 an inheritance 2817 incorruptible 862, and 2532 undefiled 283, and 2532 that fadeth not away 263, reserved 5083 5772 in 1722 heaven 3772 for 1519 you 5209,(for you: or, for us)

1:5 Who 3588 are kept 5432 5746 by 1722 the power 1411 of God 2316 through 1223 faith 4102 unto 1519 salvation 4991 ready 2092 to be revealed 601 5683 in 1722 the last 2078 time 2540.

1:6 Wherein 1722 3739 ye greatly rejoice 21 5736, though now 737 for a season 3641, if 1487 need 1163 5752 be 2076 5748, ye are in heaviness 3076 5685 through 1722 manifold 4164 temptations 3986:

1:7 That 2443 the trial 1383 of your 5216 faith 4102, being much 4183 more precious 5093 than of gold 5553 that perisheth 622 5734, though 1223 1161 it be tried 1381 5746 with fire 4442, might be found 2147 5686 unto 1519 praise 1868 and 2532 honour 5092 and 2532 glory 1391 at 1722 the appearing 602 of Jesus 2424 Christ 5547:

1:8 Whom 3739 having 1492 0 not 3756 seen 1492 5761 5625 1492 5631, ye love 25 5719; in 1519 whom 3739, though now 737 ye see 3708 5723 [him] not 3361, yet 1161 believing 4100 5723, ye rejoice 21 5736 with joy 5479 unspeakable 412 and 2532 full of glory 1392 5772:

1:9 Receiving 2865 5734 the end 5056 of your 5216 faith 4102, [even] the salvation 4991 of [your] souls 5590.

1:10 Of 4012 which 3739 salvation 4991 the prophets 4396 have enquired 1567 5656 and 2532 searched diligently 1830 5656, who 3588 prophesied 4395 5660 of 4012 the grace 5485 [that should come] unto 1519 you 5209:

1:11 Searching 2045 5723 what 1519 5101, or 2228 what manner 4169 of time 2540 the Spirit 4151 of Christ 5547 which 3588 was in 1722 them 846 did signify 1213 5707, when it testified beforehand 4303 5740 the sufferings 3804 of 1519 Christ 5547, and 2532 the glory 1391 that should follow 3326 5023.

1:12 Unto whom 3739 it was revealed 601 5681, that 3754 not 3756 unto themselves 1438, but 1161 unto us 2254 they did minister 1247 5707 the things 846, which 3739 are 312 0 now 3568 reported 312 5648 unto you 5213 by 1223 them that have preached the gospel 2097 5671 unto you 5209 with 1722 the Holy 40 Ghost 4151 sent down 649 5651 from 575 heaven 3772; which things 3739 the angels 32 desire 1937 5719 to look 3879 5658 into 1519.

1:13 Wherefore 1352 gird up 328 5671 the loins 3751 of your 5216 mind 1271, be sober 3525 5723, and hope 1679 5657 to the end 5049 for 1909 the grace 5485 that is to be brought 5342 5746 unto you 5213 at 1722 the revelation 602 of Jesus 2424 Christ 5547;(to the end: Gr. perfectly)

1:14 As 5613 obedient 5218 children 5043, not 3361 fashioning yourselves according to 4964 5730 the former 4386 lusts 1939 in 1722 your 5216 ignorance 52:

1:15 But 235 as 2596 he which hath called 2564 5660 you 5209 is holy 40, so 2532 be 1096 5676 ye 846 holy 40 in 1722 all 3956 manner of conversation 391;

1:16 Because 1360 it is written 1125 5769, Be ye 1096 5634 holy 40; for 3754 I 1473 am 1510 5748 holy 40.

1:17 And 2532 if 1487 ye call on 1941 5731 the Father 3962, who 3588 without respect of persons 678 judgeth 2919 5723 according to 2596 every man's 1538 work 2041, pass 390 5649 the time 5550 of your 5216 sojourning 3940 [here] in 1722 fear 5401:

1:18 Forasmuch as ye know 1492 5761 that 3754 ye were 3084 0 not 3756 redeemed 3084 5681 with corruptible things 5349, [as] silver 694 and 2228 gold 5553, from 1537 your 5216 vain 3152 conversation 391 [received] by tradition from your fathers 3970;

1:19 But 235 with the precious 5093 blood 129 of Christ 5547, as 5613 of a lamb 286 without blemish 299 and 2532 without spot 784:

1:20 Who verily 3303 was foreordained 4267 5772 before 4253 the foundation 2602 of the world 2889, but 1161 was manifest 5319 5685 in 1909 these last 2078 times 5550 for 1223 you 5209,

1:21 Who 3588 by 1223 him 846 do believe 4100 5723 in 1519 God 2316, that raised 1453 0 him 846 up 1453 5660 from 1537 the dead 3498, and 2532 gave 1325 5631 him 846 glory 1391; that 5620 your 5216 faith 4102 and 2532 hope 1680 might be 1511 5750 in 1519 God 2316.

1:22 Seeing ye have purified 48 5761 your 5216 souls 5590 in 1722 obeying 5218 the truth 225 through 1223 the Spirit 4151 unto 1519 unfeigned 505 love of the brethren 5360, [see that ye] love 25 5657 one another 240 with 1537 a pure 2513 heart 2588 fervently 1619:

1:23 Being born again 313 5746, not 3756 of 1537 corruptible 5349 seed 4701, but 235 of incorruptible 862, by 1223 the word 3056 of God 2316, which liveth 2198 5723 and 2532 abideth 3306 5723 for 1519 ever 165.

1:24 For 1360 all 3956 flesh 4561 [is] as 5613 grass 5528, and 2532 all 3956 the glory 1391 of man 444 as 5613 the flower 438 of grass 5528. The grass 5528 withereth 3583 5681, and 2532 the flower 438 thereof 846 falleth away 1601 5627:(For: or, For that)

1:25 But 1161 the word 4487 of the Lord 2962 endureth 3306 5719 for 1519 ever 165. And 1161 this 5124 is 2076 5748 the word 4487 which 3588 by the gospel is preached 2097 5685 unto 1519 you 5209.
