reioyce,
though
now
for
a
season
(if
neede
bee)
yee
are
in
heauinesse
through
manifolde
temptations:
1:7 That
the
triall
of
your
faith,
being
much
more
precious
then
of
golde
that
perisheth,
though

though

not,
yet
beleeuing,
ye
reioyce
with
ioy
vnspeakeable,
and
full
of
glory,
1:9 Receiuing
the
ende
of
your
faith,
euen
the
saluation
of
your
soules:
1:10 Of
which
saluation
the
Prophets
haue
inquired,
and
searched
diligently,
who
prophesied
of
the
grace
that
should
come
vnto
you,
1:11 Searching
what,
or
what
maner
of
time
the
Spirit
of
Christ
which
was
in
them
did
signifie,
when
it
testified
beforehand
the
suffrings
of
Christ,
and
the
glory
that
should
follow.
1:12 Unto
whome
it
was
reuealed,
that
not
vnto
themselues,
but
vnto
vs,
they
did
minister
the
things
which
are
now
reported
vnto
you,
by
them
that
haue
preached
the
Gospel
vnto
you,
with
the
holy
Ghost
sent
downe
from
heauen,
which
things
the
Angels
desire
to
looke
into.
1:13 Wherefore
gird
vp
the
loynes
of
your
minde,
bee
sober,
and
hope
to
the
end,
for
the
grace
that
is
to
bee
brought
vnto
you
at
the
reuelation
of
Iesus
Christ:
1:14 As
obedient
children,
not
fashioning
your
selues
according
to
the
former
lusts,
in
your
ignorance:
1:15 But
as
hee
which
hath
called
you
is
holy,
so
be
ye
holy
in
all
maner
of
conuersation;
1:16 Because
it
is
written,
Be
ye
holy,
for
I
am
holy.
1:17 And
if
ye
call
on
the
Father,
who
without
respect
of
persons
iudgeth
according
to
euery
mans
worke,
passe
the
time
of
your
soiourning
here
in
feare:
1:18 For
as
much
as
ye
know
that
yee
were
not
redeemed
with
corruptible
things,
as
siluer
and
golde,
from
your
vaine
conuersation
receiued
by
tradition
from
your
fathers;
1:19 But
with
the
precious
blood
of
Christ,
as
of
a
Lambe
without
blemish
and
without
spot,
1:20 Who
verily
was
foreordeined
before
the
foundation
of
the
world,
but
was
manifest
in
these
last
times
for
you.
1:21 Who
by
him
do
beleeue
in
God
that
raised
him
vp
from
the
dead,
and
gaue
him
glorie,
that
your
faith
and
hope
might
be
in
God.
1:22 Seeing
yee
haue
purified
your
soules
in
obeying
the
trthh
through
the
Spirit,
vnto
vnfained
loue
of
the
brethren:
see
that
ye
loue
one
another
with
a
pure
heart
feruently,
1:23 Being
borne
againe,
not
of
corruptible
seed,
but
of
incorruptible,
by
the
word
of
God
which
liueth
and
abideth
for
euer.
1:24 For
all
flesh
is
as
grasse,
and
all
the
glory
of
man
as
the
flowre
of
grasse:
the
grasse
withereth,
and
the
flowre
thereof
falleth
away.
1:25 But
the
word
of
the
Lord
endureth
for
euer:
&
this
is
the
word
which
by
the
Gospel
is
preached
vnto
you.
