1 Peter 1:13-25 ▼

13 Wherfore girde vp the loynes of your mynde, be sober, and trust perfectly on the grace that is brought vnto you, by the reuelation of Iesus Christe:

14 As obedient chyldren, not fashionyng your selues vnto the former lustes of your ignoraunce:

15 But as he which called you is holy, euen so be ye holy also in all maner of conuersation:

16 Because it is written, be ye holy, for I am holy.

17 And yf so be that ye call on the father, which without respect of person iudgeeth accordyng to euery mans worke, see that ye passe the tyme of your dwellyng here, in feare:

18 Forasmuch as ye knowe, howe that ye were not redeemed with corruptible thynges, as siluer and golde, from your vayne conuersation which ye receaued by the tradition of the fathers:

19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lambe vndefiled, & without spot:

20 Which was ordeyned beforehande, euen before the worlde was made, but was declared in the last tymes for your sakes:

21 Which by his meanes do beleue on God that raysed hym vp from death, and glorified hym, that ye might haue fayth and hope towarde God:

22 Euen ye which haue purified your soules through the spirite in obeying the trueth, with brotherly loue vnfayned, see that ye loue one another with a pure heart feruentlye:

23 For ye are borne a newe, not of mortal seede: but of immortal, by the worde of God, which lyueth and lasteth for euer.

24 For all fleshe is as grasse, and all the glorie of man, is as the flowre of grasse. The grasse withereth, and the flowre falleth away:

25 But the worde of the Lorde endureth euer. And this is the worde, which by the Gospell was preached vnto you.
