Concerning which salvation the prophets also who prophesied concerning the grace [bestowed] on us inquired diligently and sought,

but as he that called you is holy be you also holy in all [your] conduct,

do you also yourselves be built up living stones, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices well pleasing to God through Jesus Christ,

and a stone of stumbling and rock of offense, who stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.

Let servants be subject with all fear to masters, not only to the good and gentle but also to the perverse.

For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you a copy that you should follow his steps,

For so formerly also the holy women who hoped in God adorned themselves, being subject to their husbands,

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might lead us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,

in which also he went and preached to the spirits in prison,

The archetype of which, baptism, also now saves us, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience in God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

Christ therefore having suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

And for this cause was the gospel preached also to the dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the Spirit.

but as you partake of the sufferings of Christ rejoice, that you may also rejoice exulting at the revelation of his glory.
