And if ye invoke as Father him who, without regard of persons, judges according to the work of each, pass your time of sojourn in fear,

who by him do believe on God, who has raised him from among the dead and given him glory, that your faith and hope should be in God.

Because it is contained in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Zion a corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be put to shame.

But ye are a chosen race, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a people for a possession, that ye might set forth the excellencies of him who has called you out of darkness to his wonderful light;

or to rulers as sent by him, for vengeance on evildoers, and praise to them that do well.

who, when reviled, reviled not again; when suffering, threatened not; but gave himself over into the hands of him who judges righteously;

as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose children ye have become, doing good, and not fearing with any kind of consternation.

For he that will love life and see good days, let him cause his tongue to cease from evil and his lips that they speak no guile.

And let him avoid evil, and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it;

who is at the right hand of God, gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being subjected to him.

who shall render account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

but if as a christian, let him not be ashamed, but glorify God in this name.

having cast all your care upon him, for he cares about you.

to him be the glory and the might for the ages of the ages. Amen.
