Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus,
Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the
Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and
peace, be multiplied.

Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner
stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
7
Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient,
the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the
word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
9
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people;
that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his
marvellous light;
10
Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not
obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

©
14
But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their
terror, neither be troubled;
15
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
16
Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they
may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

2Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus
our Lord,
3According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and
godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye
might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the
world through lust.
5And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience
godliness;
7And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be
barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten
that he was purged from his old sins.
10Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure:
for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting
kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

3We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your
faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other
aboundeth;
4So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in
all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
5Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted
worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
6Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble
you;

7And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from
heaven with his mighty angels,
8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the
gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and
from the glory of his power;
10When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that
believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.



1I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the
quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all
long suffering and doctrine.
3For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own
lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

5But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full
proof of thy ministry.
6For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
7I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

8Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the
righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that
love his appearing.

©  
13
Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall
be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14
If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15
If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved;
yet so as by fire.

31When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then
shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from
another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father,
inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I
was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye
came unto me.
37Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred,
and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye
have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.




24And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the
greatest.
25And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and
they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
26But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger;
and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
27For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that
sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.

28Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.

29And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;

c
 

  

 c
 
  
 

30That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the
twelve tribes of Israel.
31And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he
may sift you as wheat:
32But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted,
strengthen thy brethren.

5And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion,
beseeching him,
6And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

7And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
8The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come
under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
9For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go,
and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and
he doeth it.

10When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto
you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
11And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down
with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
12But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth.

2Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by
constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
3Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.

4And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that
fadeth not away.

5Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one
to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to
the humble.

6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in
due time:
7Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh
about, seeking whom he may devour:
9Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished
in your brethren that are in the world.
10But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus,
after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
11To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

 !© 

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

"

29When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save
the humble person.
30He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine
hands.

4I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by
Jesus Christ;
5That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
6Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
7So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

c
 

  

 c
 
  
 

8Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
   

8For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.

9For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy
for your sakes before our God;
10Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect
that which is lacking in your faith?
11Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto
you.
12And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and
toward all men, even as we do toward you:
13To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even
our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

 ©

21And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works,
yet now hath he reconciled
22In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and
unreproveable in his sight:
23If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the
hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature
which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
24Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the
afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
25Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given
to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
26Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is
made manifest to his saints:
27To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery
among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

c
 

  

 c
 
  
 

28Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that
we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me
mightily.
