you
greatly
rejoice
, though
now
for
a little while
you
may
have
had
to suffer
grief
in various
trials
in which
ye
are
glad
, a little now,
if
it
be
necessary,
being
made
to sorrow
in manifold
trials ,

salvation of your
souls .

Concerning this
salvation ,
the
prophets who foretold
the grace to
come
to
you searched
and
investigated
carefully
,
concerning which
salvation seek
out
and
search
out
did
prophets who concerning
the grace toward
you did
prophecy
,
trying
to determine
the
time and
setting
to
which
the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing
when
He
predicted
the sufferings of Christ and the glories
to
follow.

they foretold
the
things
now announced
by
those who preached
the
gospel
to you by
the Holy Spirit sent from heaven .

angels
long
to look
into
these
things.

themselves, but to
us
they were
ministering
these,
which
now were
told
to
you
(through
those who did
proclaim
good
news
to you ,)
in
the Holy Spirit sent from heaven ,
to which
things messengers
do
desire
to

yourselves
to the former desires

your
ignorance ,
But just
as He who called
you is holy, so
be
holy in all you
do
,
but according
as He who did
call
you `
is '
holy, ye
also,
become
holy in all behaviour
,

call
on a
Father who judges
each
one’s
work impartially
, conduct
yourselves
in reverent
fear during
your stay
as
foreigners.

if
on the
Father ye
do
call,

time
of
your sojourn
pass
ye,

you
know
that it
was
not with perishable
things such
as
silver or gold that
you
were redeemed from the
empty
way
of
life
you
inherited
from
your forefathers
,
having
known
that ,
not with corruptible
things --
silver or gold --
were ye
redeemed from your foolish
behaviour
delivered
by
fathers
,
but with the
precious blood of
Christ
, a lamb without
blemish
or
spot.

--
He
was
known
before the foundation of the world, but
was
revealed
in the last times for
your
sake.

you,
Through Him you
believe in God, who raised
Him
from
the dead and glorified
Him ;
and
so your faith and hope are
in God.

through him do
believe in God, who did
raise
out
of
the dead ,
and glory
to
him did
give,
so that
your faith and hope may
be
in God.
Since
you
have
purified
your souls by
obedience to
the truth so
that
you
have
a
genuine
love
for
your
brothers,
love one
another
deeply
, from
a pure heart .

For
you
have
been
born
again, not of perishable
seed, but of
imperishable
, through the
living
and
enduring
word of God .
being
begotten
again, not out
of seed corruptible
, but incorruptible
, through a
word of God --
living
and
remaining
--
to
the
age;
For,
“
All flesh is like
grass, and all its
glory like
the
flowers
of the
field
; the grass withers
and the flowers
fall
,
because
all flesh `
is '
as
grass, and all glory of man
as
flower
of
grass
; wither
did
the grass ,
and the flower
of
it
fell
away
,
but
the word
of the Lord stands
forever.”
And this is the word
that was proclaimed to you.
and
the saying
of the Lord doth
remain
--
to
the
age;
and this is the saying
that was proclaimed good
news
to you.
